I. Game Introduction
Having experienced numerous wars and lost fellows and brothers, Johnson, the only survivor
decides to break into the enemy's 8 Command Posts and desperate to fulfil this impossible mission to
save his country.
II. Game Description
When the power is turned on, the SUPERVISION logo is displayed. Then comes the game title
screen. Press START on the title screen will display the status screen which gives information on the
stage number and the number of tanks. Then the actual game starts, your objective is to destroy the
Command Post in each level. Use the direction keys to move your tank and pressing either the A-key
or B-key will cause the tank to fire. The Command Posts are well protected and they can only be
destroyed when the flashing "GO!" message is displayed on the status line at the bottom of the screen,
this happens usually after you have weakens the enemy's defence system considerably. The status
line also gives two pieces of information. The upper indicator bar represents the remaining energy of
the current tank, this bar will be shorten when the tank is hit. The lower indicator bar represents the
remaining time limit required to destroy all 8 Command Posts.
III. Military Posts
There are two kinds of military posts in this game. They are the command Post and Defense Post.
Each stage has one Command Post and many Defense Posts.
| Command Post : |
This post provides a control basis. Each post has a certain quantity of tanks
to protect this basis. You have to destroy most of these tanks before you can
smash the Command Posts with strong firing. |
| Defense Post : |
Most Defense Post are very weak, they can be destroyed easily since they
often do not counterpunch. But some posts are able to counter-fire by weapons such as
cannon, laser etc. |
IV. Time limit and energy
Johnson's task is made more difficult by two constrains elements. The remaining time and energy limits.
| Remaining Time : |
The time starts to count when a game begins. The time indicator shortens as
Johnson is busy in his attack. If he is unable to smash all the 8 Command Posts
by the time limit, Johnson will lose all his reinforcement and fails to complete his mission. |
| Remaining Energy : |
Johnson can only tolerate a limited number of hit by his enemies. When Johnson
has no more energy (energy indicator bar reached zero) then he loses defense
power and his tank will be destroyed by the enemy. |
V. Reinforcement
Though Johnson is fighting alone, the reinforcement will support him 3 extra tanks. Therefore, if
Johnson loses his 4 tanks without damaging all Command Posts then his mission is considered a failure.
You can also take a rest or plan your attack in peace by pressing the START key while the game is in
session. This will pause the game indefinitely until the START key is pressed again to resume the game.
