600.0. "AMAZON" by LUDWIG::WHITEHAIR (Don't just sit there.......Do it now!) Wed Feb 13 1991 13:35

    
    	Our household got this game a Christmas and it does seem like
    a good one.  Our only problem is that we cann't get through state
    2.  The game has been put away because of this and no one wants to
    play it anymore.  Does anyone have any helpful hints....passwords...
    etc...so that the game can come back out of the dust bin.
    
    	Thanks in advance.

    	Ok, the game goes like this.....
    
    	You get sort of a cave man and he has a gun.  The first screen
    is a picture of an island.  It shows you where you have to travel to
    win the game.  You have to travel through a grassy area which is about
    3 levels then you go into the forest (which I've never gotten to yet)
    which is also 3 levels.  The final, I think 2 levels, are through water
    and where the monster lives.
    	You start the game by heading to the left of the screen (allways).
    things fall out of trees, you have to shoot them, they look like
    rabits.  Snakes come after you from both sides of the scrren at times.
    Birds fly around in the air...you can jump to kill them.  Bees
    sometimes fly into the screen and can shoot at you.  When you kill
    these items, you get points, bombs and sometimes power.  One item
    you can get is the ability to change yourself into a mussle man when
    you get to the end of a level.  You have to defeat a huge cave man at
    the end of the first level....I don't know what is at the end of the
    other levels.  There are also mushrooms that you have to either jump,
    go under or shoot.  The mushrooms bounce up and down.  They can also
    kill you.  
    	The bummer about this game is that if you don't make it to the end,
    you have to start over.  I hate this.

600.3Its called AMAGONMR4DEC::OPERATORThu Feb 14 1991 17:0822
    
    
    
    
    	I know the game your talking about, its not called Amazon
    	its call something like AMAGON (or something to that effect)
    	
    	I rented this game a long time ago. Its very frustrating
    	in that you have to start from the begining again once you die.
    	but I think once you reach level 4.* you can restart from there
    
    	(read the instruction manual, its says when you can restart the
    	 game as far as a continue goes)
    
    	I didn't like this game, I only made it to level 3 I think.
    
    
    	Good luck
