Gameplay
The game has nine screens, and each one has a single type of enemy. You can’t fight the birds on screens 1, 4 and 7; you avoid them by jumping from rope to rope. The devil faces on screens 2, 5 and 8 have to be beaten with your stick, and each one you hit turns into a bird. On screens 3, 6 and 9 you jump off a rope to grab a balloon’s string and float down, steering as you fall, and each balloon you bring down turns into a devil face. The snake at the bottom can never be destroyed. You get four stuntmen. After screen 9 the game starts over at the next speed level.
Panda’s leaflet adds a scoring table. On the bird screens your score depends on how fast you reach the helicopter. On the other screens you also earn extra points for every enemy you deal with. The values go up with each speed level.
The full guide, with tips, is on the Nightmare page. That page runs Sancho’s European PAL cartridge. This one runs Panda’s NTSC cartridge, made for North American TV sets.
