How to Play Section Z
Quick start
Press START to begin outside the fortress in section 00, then enter its corridors. Practise A to the right and B to the left while keeping clear of enemies. At each split, note which section an exit reaches. If a red barrier blocks progress, explore another route for its generator. At a defeat menu, use SELECT to choose CONTINUE or RETRY, then START.
Controls
Directional pad: move; right also advances the equipment cursor. SELECT equips the highlighted available item. A fires right, B fires left. A+B summons a transmission shell: touch it to collect, then fire with A or B; it costs energy. START begins or pauses. At continue/retry prompts, SELECT chooses and START confirms.
Section Z — About this game
A lone astronaut enters the Balangool fortress to destroy its controlling brain before Earth is invaded. The NES game joins sixty numbered sections into three groups of twenty. Exits can lead onward or return to familiar corridors, so recording connections is useful. Red barriers remain dangerous until their generators are destroyed. Along the way, collect energy and weapons, then choose the equipment needed for the next stretch. Separate buttons fire right and left, letting you retreat while attacking a pursuer. Powerful transmission shells trade energy for extra firepower. Reaching the core requires both shooting skill and a workable route through the maze.
