General Giorgio Zott, Commander in Chief of the Zagorian Army, launched a unilateral military offensive against Astigos, a territory of the neighboring nation of Lukano. In a matter of a few months, the Zagorian Army’s powerful troops had taken control of the island. Concerned over the motives behind Zott’s strike against Astigos, the VSSE International Intelligence Agency launched an investigation, whereupon they learned that the Federation had placed tactical missiles in the occupied territory of Astigos capable of striking Lukano and other Mediterranean countries. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the VSSE dispatched two of its best agents, Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert, to gather additional information on the General's activities...

Rescue Mission Mode has a slightly different battle system. Refer to page 14 for a detailed explanation. Gun battles with enemies in Time Crisis’? are referred to as Action Points. The game screen at any given Action Point will display important information, such as number of lives and time limit. SCORE: Your score, combo hits, and bonus score. BULLETS: The number of bullets remaining. To replenish your ammo, use RELOAD. The Handgun is the only weapon that has access to an unlimited supply of ammunition while reloading. LIFE: You lose one life each time you are shot, hit by an object, or when the time limit reaches zero. TIME LIMIT: There is a designated 40-second time limit for each Action Point. One life will be lost when the time limit reaches zero. SELECTED WEAPON: Name of the weapon currently in use. WEAPON WINDOW: Displays the weapons available. Weapon selection occurs in this space while reloading. PARTNER INDICATOR: Indicates the position of your partner. Shooting him will result in a penalty against your score. PARTNER INDICATOR SELECTED WEAPON TIME Limi Throughout the game, text messages will flash across the screen giving information regarding Action Points or Reloading. Refer to the chart below for detailed explanations: WAIT Appears while the player is traveling to the next Action Point. It is not possible to shoot while this message is on the Game Screen. RELOAD Appears when your character's selected weapon carries no ammunition. Quickly reload your weapon when you see this message. ACTION Appears when the player has arrived at a new Action Point. It is possible to shoot as soon as this message disappears. Appears when falling objects or other dangers threaten your character’s life. Swiftly take Cover as soon as you see this message. The primary game mode for Time Crisis®3 is Story Mode {see page 18) of Arcade Mode. This mode consists of three . stages. Each stage is comprised of three areas, and each area is divided into a series of Action Points. Defeating all of the enemies at an Action Point will result in advancing your character to the next Action Point. Defeat the boss to clear the stage. ff. If your character is struck by enemy gunfire or falling objects, he will lose one life. If the time allocated to clear a given Action Point runs out before all of the enemies are destroyed, your character will lose one life. The game ends when your character loses his final life (however, a Continue option is available). The time limit Counter automatically replenishes itself when you advance to a new Action Point or when you lose a life. Upon clearing an area or a stage, the Results Screen (like the one pictured on the right) will appear — it contains score totals and clear times for each player. The Continue Screen appears if you have Credits left but no Lives left in the current game. You can continue a game as long as you still have Credits remaining. To continue a game from where you last lost your life, shoot “YES” displayed on-screen before the twenty-second countdown ends. Shoot “NO” to quit the game and retum to the Title Screen. In Rescue Mission Mode, the Continue option will returm you to the start of the stage where you last lost your life. Game Over occurs when you run out of lives and have no CREDITS remaining, or if you fail to select “YES” before the Continue countdown ends. WEAPON SELECT SYSTEM SHOOT, HIDE, AND... SELECT YOUR WEAPON! A new game play feature called the Weapon Select System has been added to the classic Time Crisis interface. While taking cover from fire and reloading your weapon via the familiar RELOAD system, you can now select from a variety of weapons to use in battle by using the newly added Weapon Select System. Four weapons | (Handgun, Machine Gun, Shotgun, and Grenade Launcher) | | t are readily available to use. Effective use of the weapons during game play will increase your ability to strategically maneuver through Time Crisis* 3. RESCUE MISSION MODE TIME CRISIS°3 CONTAINS MULTIPLE STORY LINES! Engaging the Rescue Mission Mode allows you to play a variant story line and play as Alicia. In this mode only, you will discover several new fighting systems, such as the Weapon Upgrade System and the Sniper System (which allows players to fire upon distant enemies using a Sniper Rifle). Make sure to try the newly evolved game play and enriched Time Crisis’? experience. Releasing the RELOAD button will cause your character to take shelter behind a nearby object — your weapon (Handgun only) will then reload itself automatically. During the RELOAD process, your character will not be able to fire at enemies nor can enemy gunfire inflict damage upon your character. Caution: The time limit counter will continue to countdown while your character is reloading, so use your reload time sparingly. Press and hold the RELOAD button to re-enter the gunfight. During the RELOAD process, your character hides behind a nearby object and the Handgun weapon is reloaded automatically. Emerging from the protected position, your character is able to fire upon enemies. Beware of enemy gunfire.

There are three sub-weapons to choose from: Machine Gun, Shotgun, and Grenade Launcher. | THT OBTAINING AMMUNITION Each shot that successfully hits a yellow enemy will yield one floating Weapon Icon. The ammunition stock of the sub- weapon depicted on the surface of the Weapon Icon will increase each time a Weapon Icon appears. ENEMY INFORMATION This section explains enemy life meters and enemy attack techniques. Studying enemy characteristics carefully will assist you in finishing each game mode. ENEMY LIFE METERS Both enemies with life meters and enemies without life meters will appear throughout the game. Enemies without life meters can be defeated with one shot. Enemies with life meters lose a portion of their life each time the player shoots them. Enemies with life meters are destroyed when their life meter runs out completely. ENEMY ATTACK TECHNIQUES There are three distinct pattems enemies will employ while attacking your character. Enemy bullets that threaten your character’s life will flash red when they are fired. Weapons thrown by the enemy, such as hand grenades and knives, can be rendered harmless by shooting them. Enemies advance upon your character brandishing bladed weapons, such as daggers and hand axes. BEWARE OF RED ENEMIES Red enemies fire more accurately than other enemies. When a red enemy appears, take cover immediately and wait for the optimal moment to retum fire. Arcade Mode is divided into two modes, Story Mode and One Stage Trial Mode. Fundamental game play elements are the same for both modes. ONE PLAYER GAME This mode is for games played by a single player. Insert the Guncon’e into the top USB connector to control Alan.
