Touch them and you will lose some life energy. Watch out, becauseZombies can appear on land or from underwater!!!BATSBeware of these blood-sucking horrors, they will drain away your life energybefore you even know that they're in the same cave as you. These creaturesare almost invisible in the inky darkness of the caverns, unless you have aflashlight.* middle columnWOLVESVenture into the forest and you'd better be ready to fight off thesefour-legged killing machines. They leap out of nowhere and carry off yourlife energy in their ravening jaws. And you'd better watch out for theirghostly cousins in the caves, they are every bit as dangerous.JASON'S MOTHERPoor Jason just can't bear to part with his mother even if she has been deadfor years. He keeps her ghostly head in the same room where he stores hisweapons, a frightening watchdog against anyone fool enough to seek out hissecret hideaway.* right columnCROWSWatch out for these high-flying balls of feathered death!!! They will swoopout of the sky and carry away your life energy in their clutching talonsbefore you even know what hit you.JASONLast, but certainly not least is the main threat to safe camping, the Mavenof Mayhem, the Sultan of Slash, the ghoul that everyone loves to hate,JASON!!! He'll attack out of nowhere, and disappear just as quickly.* Page 12* This page was split into two columns and they are marked as such.                       (7) WEAPONS AND POWER ITEMS* left columnSTONESCounselors start out armed only with stones. They are the weakest weapon.KNIFEMore powerful than stones. They have a greater effect when used against anenemy.TORCHOne of the more powerful weapons.

You should try to keep the slower moving Counselors in thecabins around the lake, so they can be on hand to rescue the children ifJason strikes.The woods are a good place to pick up extra vitamins for curing yourself orthe Counselors. You should pick up as many of them as you can in thebeginning of the game before it becomes night and the wolves come out toprowl.Try to destroy as many zombies as you can while you explore. This willallow you to earn more powerful weapons as the game progresses and you willbe able to fight off Jason more effectively.The large cabins are good places to find messages and certain power items.You should explore them thoroughly as you go around to light the fireplaces.Use the faster Counselors as scouts to go out and find weapons, then makesure you distribute them among the other Counselors with the PASS option.This will improve the Counselors' odds for survival.* Page 14                   COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONSThis equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installedand used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
