How to Play Space Hunter
Quick start
Start with START and explore Zobaria. The initial equipment is A's time bomb and B's jet. Move with the D-pad and advance to higher places with the jet. Go around the small rooms and collect items and information, then check the map and equipment on the START sub-screen. Before defeating the boss, check the way back and what was left behind, and after defeating the boss, try to leave the planet within the time limit.
Controls
Move with the cross keys. Use A to use the currently selected attack item, and B to use the support item. In the initial state, A is a time bomb and B is a jet. Start the game with START, and open/return to the sub screen during play. On the sub-screen, press A to switch between weapons and B to switch between auxiliary equipment.
Space Hunter — About this game
``Space Hunter'' is an exploration-type action game where you play the role of the cyborg girl Altiana and fight against the de Gaulle faction that has started a rebellion. Each planet is filled with underground mazes and small rooms, and in addition to fighting enemies, you can also search for new weapons and important information. Move through the air with a jet and use the attack and support items you obtain. After defeating the leader, you need to escape from the planet within the time limit, so you'll want to memorize the way back while you're exploring. You can't return to a cleared planet, so you need to be careful about the equipment you leave behind. The sub-screen displays the surrounding map, life and power, equipment and passwords.
