INTRODUCTION
AIM : You are a raw recruit entering the US Marines' famed
Combat School. Can you survive the gruelling tests of
endurance and enter the Marine Corps?
GAMEPLAY : Combat School is rather like a military version of
Daley Thompson's Decathlon! There are seven different tests
for you to undergo:
1. ASSAULT COURSE- walls of different heights and an "arm
walk". A meter at the bottom of the screen shows the muscular
power you're generating.
2. FIRING RANGE - hit at least 38 targets to qualify.
3. "IRON MAN" RACE - run through rough country strewn with
boulders, water hazards and bridges; then swim across a
fast-flowing river full of logs.
4. FIRING RANGE - hit 95 robot tanks to qualify.
5. ARM WRESTLING - a man-to-man contest of bicep supremacy.
6. FIRING RANGE - hit lots of targets and avoid hitting red
ones.
7. UNARMED COMBAT - take on your instructor!
Failing any of these events (apart from number 5) means you
have to do a physical penance - which means chin-ups! Once you
have completed all the events, you must attempt a full
mission, to rescue a hostage from an American embassy.
