GETTING RID GF ENEMIES USING EXPLOSIVES If you shoot the wooden boxes marked EXPLOSIVES or the enemies camying bazookas. you can get rid of a number of enemies quickly in the resulting explosion. You should try ta memorise where the boxes are and when the bazooka enemies will appear: this will enable you to get a better scare in subsequent games. RICHARD MILLER THE HERO.
