Spiritual Warfare Experience “Spiritual Warfare” as you discover firsthand the whole armor of God in preparation to meet the enemies of the Lord. You will also see just how the fruit of the Spirit can impact the lives of others and ultimately win an entire city to God. The shield of faith will be your most important weapon in helping you to remain steadfast. But remember that the battle is not yours alone, it is the Lord’s. “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kids on prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” -Ephesians 6:13-18 Object of the Game As a soldier in the army of the Lord, you explore the various sections of the city to collect the six pieces of the Armor of God. During your exciting journey, you will also convert non-believers and destroy the sources of evil. You start with just the basics, but as you progress through the game, you collect more Fruits of the Spirit and Armor of God to become more and more powerful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading the Game This manual is designed to show you how to play Spiritual Warfare on cartridge-based systems or a disk-based systems that are 100% IBM/PC - compatible.

General Game Play Convert souls with the Fruit of the Spirit or Vials of the Wrath of God. Converted souls often leave Spirit Points or Health. With Spirit Points, you can get additional Fruit and other items to help you in your quest. Search the various areas of the city to find the BOSS ROOMS. Upon defeating a Boss, you will find a piece of the Armor of God. Each piece of armor does something unique to help defend you against evil. ARMOR OF GOD Here is an explanation of each of the six piece of the Armor of God: Belt of Truth: Allows you to push obstacles. Breastplate of Righteousness: Cuts damage taken by half. Boots of the Gospel: Allow you to walk across the rubble and wet cement. Helmet of Salvation: Protects you from explosions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sword of the Spirit: The sword will burst when it is thrown. Shield of Faith: Cuts damage taken by an additional half. As you travel through the various sections of the city, you will encounter two types of people: Unsaved Souls and Christian Helpers. UNSAVED SOULS Some Unsaved Souls will go after you while others will just wander around. Use Fruit or Vials to convert these Unsaved Souls. Sometimes an evil Spirit will come out of a converted soul. Throw Fruit or drop a Vial to make these Spirits leave. Spirits and converted souls sometimes leave Spirit Points and Health behind. Walk up and collect them. CHRISTIAN HELPERS Throughout the city you will encounter people that are standing still. They are Christian Helpers and many times they offer advice. Walk up to these people and their messages will appear in the STATUS BAR. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prizes The following are items that will assist you in your quest: FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT You can find Fruit in various areas of the city. The first pear is free. All of the other fruits require that you trade in Spirit Points (represented by a white dove). Throw Fruit by pressing the A button (PC = Button 1). Most souls can be converted with Fruit. There are 5 different Fruits, and you can collect up to four of each kind. This is helpful for fast shooting. (Example: if you collect 4 apples, you can throw 4 apples at a time.) Here is a list of the different fruits and their powers: Pear: Medium speed, very short distance, stops at solid items (rocks, walls, etc.) Pomegranate: Medium speed, short distance, goes though solid items and travels in a zig-zag pattern. Apple: Slow speed, medium distance, goes through solid items as well as continuing to travel through villains and obstacles. Grapes: Fast speed, medium distance, go through solid items and travel in a spraying pattern. Banana: Very fast speed, long distance, goes through solid items. Refer to the STATUS MENU section to see how to pick which fruit you want to use. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIALS OF THE WRATH OF GOD: These are picked up by the hero in groups of 3 or 7. The amount you have is shown on the status bar. The hero drops them by pressing the B button. The Vials burst after a short time or if hit by a Fruit or another burst. Vials can also be used to expose hidden items and doorways found under bushes and walls. SAMSON’S JAWBONE: To complete some BOSS ROOMS the Jawbone is necessary. The Jawbone also picks up Spirit Points, Extra Vials, Health, the Raft, Keys, and Heart Containers. ANOINTING OIL: Use this to completely refill your health. KEY: Use keys to open locked doors. TORCH: Light the torch to see special blocks in PUZZLE ROOMS. RAFT: Once you find the Raft, you can cross areas covered with water. RAILROAD TICKET: This allows you to travel between any of the five train stations. GUARDIAN ANGEL Every once in a while, but especially when you are in trouble, a guardian angel will come to your assistance. Walk up to the angel and you will be asked 5 Bible questions. You receive 5 Spirit Points for each correct answer. If you answer all 5 correctly, you will be rewarded an additional 5 Spirit Points plus two hearts of Health. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status Bar and Menu Cartridge-Based Systems The area located on the top of one-fifth of the screen is called the STATUS BAR. It displays the following information: health status; A Button weapon; B Button weapon; number of spirit points, vials, and keys; and your location. If you press the SELECT button, the screen drops and the STATUS MENU appears. Here is a sample STATUS MENU. To choose an item, move the SELECTOR over the item and press A or B. Pressing SELECT or START will return you to the game. A brief description of each item is shown on the bottom of the screen. IBM PC or Compatible All of the STATUS BAR and STATUS MENU information is displayed at once on PC systems. Surrounding the play screen the following information is shown: health status; Button 1 weapon; Button 2 weapon; number of spirit points, vials, and keys; location, armor held, RR ticket and special weapons and objects (sword, torch, raft, and jawbone). See “THE CONTROLS” section to learn how to select fruit and objects from the menu. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss Rooms Before each room containing a piece of the Armor of God is a BOSS ROOM. BOSS ROOMS contain unique individuals who are harder to convert than most. Sometimes you will need other items as well as Fruit to help you get past the BOSS ROOMS (refer to the Prize list). There are two ways out of a BOSS ROOM; The door you came in and the door that leads to an ARMOR ROOM. Once you convert the BOSS or make him leave, this Armor Exit will become accessible. Each BOSS ROOM is different. BOSS ROOM 1: Throw fruit at this guy only when he comes out from behind the rock. BOSS ROOM 2: It takes 3 vials to convert this fellow. Watch out for the ever changing maze! BOSS ROOM 3: As the projectiles track you, guide them toward the glowing bricks. Use this method and drop vials to eventually make a path of ladders to the exit at the top left. Be patient! BOSS ROOM 4: Use Samson’s Jawbone to knock back the cherries. Once this guy is out of ammunition, he will go away and an exit will appear. Stay near the top of the screen while you throw the jawbone. BOSS ROOM 5: You’ll encounter 4 unsaved souls in this room. The idea is to use three vials on the guy dressed in white at the top, but first you’ll need to get past his three helpers. These helpers will only go away when pushed by a barrel. Use vials to find the hidden ladders. (It helps to enter this room with a lot of vials.) BOSS ROOM 6: An evil spirit flies across the top of this room. Throw the Sword once to make him green. While he’s green, you must hit him again with the Sword. Watch out for the falling spirits! FINAL ROOM: This guy is the toughest. Use your Sword to temporarily stop his rock shield. Then use your Fruit to hit him. He goes away only after 7 hits. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Guided Tour The following section is a detailed tour on how to get through the first section of the game. It will familiarize you with most of the controls and tactics needed to play Spiritual Warfare. (PC users can ignore the sections that ask you to hit SELECT because your STATUS MENU is already on the screen. For detailed help on how to use the PC STATUS MENU, see the “THE CONTROLS” section.) Select START GAME from the TITLE screen and enter your name. Your adventure starts off in the park. Hit SELECT and your STATUS MAP will appear. You will notice that the map in the middle has a white square on it. This represents what room you are in. You are at position 1,2. This is determined by lining up the top number with the white square and then the side number. You will also notice your Fruit, Item, and Armor boxes are all empty. It’s up to you to fill them. Let’s begin! Press SELECT or START to return to the game. Quest for Fruit It’s time for you to gather some fruit. Walk into the doorway near the top portion of the screen. You should now be in an angel room. Read the fruit message and then simply walk up and touch the Pear. If you look at the STATUS BAR, you’ll see that the number “1” appears next to the picture of the Pear. Hit SELECT and look at the STATUS MENU. The number “1” also appears next to the pear here. This means you can throw one pear at a time. Press SELECT and return to the game. Leave the room at the bottom of the screen and you can test out your new fruit. You should now be back at the screen you started on. Press the A button and a Pear will be thrown by you. The direction you are facing is the direction the pear will be thrown. Now that you’re armed, you are ready to start your adventure. The Adventure Begins Leave this screen by heading south. Simply go to the bottom of the screen and push down until the screen scrolls into the one below. Immediately, you will notice four Unsaved Souls walking around. Press the A button and throw your pear at --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- them. When one of these Unsaved Souls is hit by Fruit, he or she will “convert” and assume a praying position. Sometimes, an Evil Spirit will fly out of the converted soul. Use your fruit to make it go away. Converting souls and driving away evil spirits will randomly leave Spirit Points and Health. Spirit Points are white doves with the number “1,” “5,” or “10” on them. Just touch a dove and you will see your Spirit Points increase on the STATUS BAR. Health is represented by a red heart. If you touch it, it will fill up one Hear Container on the STATUS BAR. You will notice this only if you lost health during your battle. When you run into an unsaved soul, your health decreases. When all of your heart containers are empty the game ends. If this happens, just select CONTINUE from the GAME OVER screen. You will then reappear at the original PARK screen, but you’ll have your Pear and whatever Vials and Spirit Points you had before the game ended. Your Health will be restored. If you haven’t already, collect all the Doves and Hearts (if there are any) as well as the 3-VIAL prize. Once in a while, a Guardian Angel will appear. Walk up and touch the angel and you will be given the opportunity to earn extra Spirit Points and Health by correctly answering Bible questions (refer to the Guardian Angel section for more information). Let’s continue our journey. Go west by going all the way to the left of the screen and pushing until the next screen scrolls on. Use your fruit to convert the two Unsaved Souls. If there are any Doves or Hearts, pick them up. Now is a good time to look at the map again. Press SELECT and notice where the white square is. It is now one down and one left of where you started. You are now at 0, 3; the southwest corner of the PARK. Press SELECT again and let’s go on. Go north to the screen above you. These guys in green are tricky but the can’t get at you --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quite yet. If you look carefully you’ll see a horizontal row of bushes near the bottom of the screen. They can stop you from going north and the bushes stop your Pear cold! This is because the Pear is the weakest of the Fruits (refer to the Fruit list). As you see more of the city you’ll find stronger and stronger Fruit. If you have any Vials (look at the STATUS BAR) you can drop one near a bush, throw your Pear at the Vial, and the burst will make the bush go away. Don’t worry, the burst from the Vial will not harm you. Don’t panic if you don’t have any Vials. Just go south, then east and continue exploring. If you made it through the bushes, convert the Unsaved Souls, and continue venturing northward. Continue exploring the PARK until you get used to moving around and converting Unsaved Souls. If you lose all your health, just select CONTINUE from the GAME OVER screen. Use your map to find the following screens of particular interest. Remember, the first number is the one on the top, the second one is on the side. If you think you’re ready to get the Belt of Truth, you can skip this section. POSITION 0,1 There is a Heart Container near the railroad tracks. You will get access to this later in the game when you find Samson’s Jawbone. A Heart Container increases your HEALTH BAR by one. (For example, if you could get it now, you would have 4 containers instead of 3 on the STATUS BAR.) 1,0 The door underneath the RR sign leads to a railroad station. You can go in but you won’t get too far. Later, you will find a train ticket that lets you travel quickly between 5 of the 11 sections of the city. 2,0 Having trouble crossing the river? No problem! Just enter a door and you will be on the other side. 2,3 Later in the game, you will need this raft, but you will have to find the Jawbone first. 3,0 Throughout the game you will run into Christian Helpers. Most of them are standing still (to let you know they are not dangerous). This energetic basketball player is an exception.. Use a Vial on the bottom left corner of the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bleachers and walk up to him. He will give you a hint which will be useful later in the game. Write down hints and make maps of where you have been to help you as you play the game. 5,3 This is the exit to DOWNTOWN. Once you have the Belt of Truth you can push one of these rocks and leave. To get the Belt of Truth, keep reading. Now that you have a good feel of how the game plays, it’s time to get the Belt of Truth. Go to the screen located at 2,2 or 3,2 (look at the STATUS BAR MAP). Near the lake you will see stairs leading down. Walk down the stairs. The room you are now in is UNDERGROUND (look at the STATUS BAR). Take the ladder down. There are four passages out of this room. One passage goes right, two lead down, and one takes you back to the screen you just came from. (Rooms that are underground or inside do not show up on the STATUS MENU MAP. You may want to make your own maps to keep track of where you have been. Take one of the ladders going down. In the upper left corner of this screen, you will see a bottle of Anointing Oil. Go over and pick it up. Press SELECT and look at the STATUS MENU. You should see the Anointing Oil in the ITEM SELECT BOX. (You may also see a Vial of God’s Wrath and Praying Hands). Use the Anointing Oil only when your health is very low. Simply move the SELECTOR (the glowing octagon) over the Anointing Oil and press A or B. Your Health will completely refill. Another way to restore Health is by Praying. If you have at least 10 Spirit Points, a pair of Praying Hands will show up in the ITEM SELECT BOX. Move your SELECTOR over the Praying Hands and press A or B. Every time you press A or B, 10 Spirit Points will be taken (PC = P key), and your Health will be restored by half a heart. You can do this as long as you have enough Spirit Points. Once you go below 10 Spirit Points the Praying Hands will not show up. Go ahead and leave the room by either of the ladders. Now take the passage to the right. This room has a small passage full of barrels and a ladder leading down. Go down to the next screen. This screen has a small room on the left side. Enter this room. Once you are in, collect all the 7-Vial prizes. The door in the upper left of the screen leads to a BOSS ROOM. If your Health is low, use the Anointing Oil or Praying Hands to fill it up. You need to be strong before you enter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter the BOSS ROOM and you’ll see the Boss running around, hiding behind a rock. Whenever he stops and stands up, he is vulnerable. Use your Pear to convert him. Use caution! Even his rock is harmful and Evil Spirits randomly fly out. Once you get the Boss, the door at the top will open. Enter this door to claim the Belt of Truth. Now that you have the Belt, you can push rocks, trash cans, etc. You are now able to leave the PARK. Before you go, take a look at what is behind the barrels one screen above. Climb the ladder, and use the B button to drop a Vial next to a barrel. Throw your Pear to make the Vial burst early. Continue doing this until all of the barrels are gone. Then enter the exposed door. You have just found your second Fruit of the Spirit, the Apple. However, to get this apple you have to trade in 40 Spirit Points. If you don’t have 40 Spirit Points, return to the surface and continue converting until you do. You are not required to get every fruit you find, but you will discover that different fruits have different powers, and the more you have of each, the better. If you have 40 Spirit Points, walk up and touch the Apple. To try out the Apply, press SELECT, and from the STATUS MENU choose the Apple. To leave the PARK and explore more regions of the city, travel to the PARK surface. Now use your STATUS MENU MAP to help you travel to position 5,3. This is the PARK exit. Push a rock in the lower right and exit the PARK. Welcome to DOWNTOWN. Have fun on your continuing adventure, and if you are ever in need of a clue or health, you can go to the CHURCH. The CHURCH is located in the HOUSING area. To get to the HOUSING area from DOWNTOWN, go to position A,6 and travel east. The CHURCH is located at position F,7. You have five more pieces of Armor to find and then it is on to the Final Battle. Good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiritual Warfare Evaluation Sheet --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF YOUR GAME DOESN’T WORK RETURNING YOUR CARTRIDGE/SOFTWARE PLEASE DO NOT RETURN CARTRIDGE/SOFTWARE TO STORE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1992 Wisdom Tree.
