If you choose compete, the different events will load one by one. If you choose
practise, you will be able to play one event as many times as you wish. After
every trial, you will be asked if you want to fight again or not.
Disk: You can practise in any of the ten
events by selecting it on the screen. When you answer "No" on the play
again question, you will return to the main menu.
Cassette: You will load one event and
then practise that event until you feel that you are good at it. After that, the
next event will appear.
The events
Tug of War: You can compete against another
fighter or against a droid. Controls: joystick down - a small dose of energy,
press fire - a little more energy, joystick down and fire pressed - a high dose
of energy. You must use your energy with caution. When the energy is drained out,
you can't pull anymore. The loser will drown.
Towerjump: You must jump as far as possible
from the tower. Pull the joystick down and release it to jump. To make an approved
jump, you must land on your head. Press the button when the head is facing downwards.
On the far right of the screen, you can see how far the droid or competitor jumped.
You have three attempts to make a longer jump.
Rockroller: You have to roll a huge rock
up a steep mountain. Two players are competing at the same time. You create your
energy by moving the joystick up and down. When the meter is blue, you have enough
energy to take a step. Press the button to take a step. The competition is won
by the fighter that wins atleast two of the rolls.
Ale Drinking: Drink a barrel of beer faster
than your opponent. Pull the joystick up to start drinking and then swallow by
moving the joystick as fast as possible to the right and left. If you spill any
beer, you are disqualified.
Human Hit: Throw stones at a barbarian.
Aim the joystick and press fire to throw the stone. You have to hit the four different
targets three times each and you have to do it as fast as possible.
Polefight: In this event, you either compete
against your opponent or against a droid. Sitting on a log, you have to knock
down your opponent with a tree club. Use the joystick to control the club.
Cat Throwing: You have three attempts
to throw the cat as far as possible. Start to rotate by pressing the fire button.
When you think that your speed is enough, press the fire button to throw the cat.
If you wait too long, the barbarian will get tired.
Mountain Walk: You have to reach the middle
of the rope as fast as possible. The barbarian that reaches the centre, will start
to shake the rope until the other barbarian falls down.
Axe Throwing: Throw axes at your opponent.
You throw one axe and the opponent tries to avoid the axe and then you change.
Aim the axe by pulling the joystick in the right direction. You can avoid the
axe by jumping over it or duck.
Armwreck: Pull the joystick to the left
and right to gain strength in your arm. The barbarian that loses will be marked
