NOT!You see, this particular cave is a tunnel entrance to Domino Domain - a mini-world comprised of nine different continents.  G.I. must negotiate many screensof mind-teasing problems.  Each level has a door to the next.  To open thedoor, the 'Trigger' domino-block must be felled by causing a chain reactionwith all of the other domino-blocks in that level.  Pretty easy.....

The LAST domino tofall, however, must always be the TRIGGER block.  All other blocks, apart fromthe red STOPPER blocks, must have fallen before the TRIGGER block.G.I ANT can pick up and carry, then place, any of the blocks into differentpositions, except for the TRIGGER block which cannot be moved.  Many blockshave different symbols, signifying the particular property of that block.  Atany time during play, pressing START will pause the game and bring up the helpscreen, showing you the symbols and their names.To push over a block, G.I. Ant must get into Pushing Position.  He does thisby getting behind the block and walking to the inside / back of the block.Press the Control Pad UP to get into this position.Once G.I. Ant is in pushing position, he can push the block over by pressingthe A Button if he is pushing to the right, or by pressing the Y Button if heis pushing to the left.When you're sure you have positioned all of the blocks correctly, you have justONE push to succeed.  If successful, you must exit the open door within a timelimit.PAGE 7------A screen will appear reading: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU COMPLETED THE PUZZLE, YOUGAIN A TOKEN.To get to the next puzzle from this screen, press the A or B button.  This willtake you back to the Pushover Screen.  From here, press the Start Button; thiswill take you to the next puzzle.You may skip to any puzzle by entering its Pass Code at the Pushover Screen andthen pressing the Start Button.  The Pass Code for each puzzle appears afterthat puzzle is played.  To change the Pass Code, use the Control Pad.If you have completed a puzzle and exited the scene after the clock has reachedzero and it has begun counting your negative time in red, a screen will appearwhich reads: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU COMPLETED THE PUZZLE... BUT YOU DID NOT DO ITFAST ENOUGH!  YOU HAVE ___ TOKENS...  From here, you can choose to Use A token(to go on to the next puzzle), Replay The Puzzle or Quit.  Press the ControlPad up or down to make your selection, then press the B Button.PAGE 8------G.I. ANTG.I. ANT is tough, and can fall from a pretty good height with just a dazedhead.  However, there is a limit, and if G.I. ANT falls too far, he willdisintegrate.  The level will have to be restarted if this happens.  Similarly,he can get crushed if caught under a toppling block.  He is also quite happyto run up and down steps with blocks, if necessary; but if he jumps with ablock, it's likely to shatter.G.I. ANT is strong enough to carry blocks along the surface, and even up anddown ladders.  Basically, the only thing too heavy for him to move is theTRIGGER block.  Due to the energy exerted to manipulate all the blocks, G.I.ANT only has enough strength for ONE push per screen.TOKENS (picture of a pink and green butterfly)When you complete a screen successfully, and within the time limit, you will beawarded a TOKEN.  TOKENs can be used in two ways:1. If you complete a screen but have gone beyond the time limit, you will be   allowed to use a TOKEN to allow you to progress to the next level.PAGE 9------2. If you fail a screen for any reason other than overrunning the time limit,   you can use a TOKEN to replay the screen from the point at which you   'pushed' - i.e. the screen will be set up as you arranged previously.  NOTE:   the time will also be reset to the time at which you made the push.BUNDLES OF CAPTAIN RAT'S CASHOn each level, there is a screen which, when completed successfully, will awardyou with a bundle of cash.  The specific screens are unknown, but you will needto collect all nine bundles in order to play the very final screen.  You willnot be awarded your bundle if you have used a token to complete that particularscreen.PAUSE / HELPWhen START is pressed during gameplay, this will PAUSE the game, and bring upa help screen showing and describing the 'Special' domino-blocks.Additionally, once you have overrun the time limit, this screen will alsodisplay a HINT on how to complete the current screen.PAGE 10-------DOMINO-BLOCKS(picture of the pause game screen)Normal (Plain Yellow)These fall just once, except when they are placed on the edge of steps or atthe edge of a gap, where they will tumble until they reach a flat surface oranother block.Tumbler (Middle Red, Top and Bottom Yellow)These continue tumbling until they are stopped by a fallen block.Ascender (One Vertical Red Stripe)These will, when hit, float up until they hit an obstruction, at which timethey will continue flipping in the same direction until stopped by a flatsurface.Bridger (One Horizontal Red Stripe)If positioned at the edge of a gap, these will bridge the gap when hit.  WhenPAGE 11-------positioned elsewhere, they will act as a NORMAL block.Delay (Diagonally, Half Yellow, Half Red)When hit, these will not fall for a few moments, causing the 'hitter block' torebound off it.Splitter (Horizontally, Half Yellow, Half Red)When hit (usually by a falling block), these will split and knock over blockson both sides of them.Vanisher (Two Horizontal Red Stripes)When hit, this will knock the next block over, then vanish as it hits theground.Exploder (Vertically, Half Yellow, Half Red)When hit, this will explode, leaving a gap in the platform.Stopper (Plain Red)When hit, the block will rebound off it.  This block cannot topple.Trigger (Three Horizontal Red Stripes)This must be the last block to fall to open the door to the next screen.PAGE 12-------DOs & DON'TsDO ensure that the TRIGGER block is the last block to topple.DON'T allow a block to fall directly onto another block, unless the lowerblock is a SPLITTER.DON'T allow any block to fall onto another to create rubble.DO keep your exit door clear.(picture of a game level screen)INSIDE BACK COVER: Limited Warranty (not written)BACK COVER----------(Ocean logo)Ocean of America, Inc.1855 O'Toole Avenue, D-102San Jose, CA 95131Copyright (C)1992 Red Rat Software/Ocean Software Ltd.Printed in Japan
