The player must battle up to 40 terrifying villains, each with its own threatening capabilities. Among these are killer clowns, murderous mimes, a savage Santa, marauding maggots and jugular Junior. * Deep within CarnEvil lurk many territories, each with unique, blood-curdling perils and sinister secrets. CarnEvil proclaims a sardonic welcome to its every dank domain. Players dare to enter the Haunted House, Rickety Town or the Freak Show. Skill, craft and discipline earn entry into elite domains, such as the bestial Big Top. Here CarnEvil challenges the superior player to a heightened play level. For the intrepid player, a blazing shotgun is the only way out. The player must remember this essential rhythm: Pump and fire, pump and fire! Then the player moves cautiously forward, flushing out gruesome enemies that never see the daylight. Threatened by killer clowns, bats, spiders, freaks and others, the player must exterminate them all. If an enemy draws blood, then the player's health declines. The player achieves extra points by eliminating ravenous villains before they devour the heroine. Yet should a misplaced shot dispatch the lovely heroine, the player pays a penalty. As play commences, the gun fires single shots, like a pistol. Shooting bullet-shaped symbols upgrades the player's weapon. Upgrades allow the gun to temporarily become a full-fledged shotgun or a machine gun. In all gun modes, the player must periodically pump the gun to reload it. Another way to reload the gun is to aim off screen and press the trigger. The player improves his health by shooting heart-shaped symbols. Then, restored and fortified, the player dares to plunge forth into the next, nightmarish territory. C ) The screen displays and constantly updates player scores. As players exit a territory, the screen indicates shooting accuracy percentages for each player. As each play level concludes, top scorers may enter initials or names with a shotgun. CarnEvil displays these initials in a high score table. 1-19 NOTES 1-20 CarnEvil TM SECTION TWO DIAGNOSTIC, AUDIT & ADJUSTMENT MENU SYSTEM NOTICE: Information in this manual is subject to change without notice.
