Basic Play
There are monsters, werewolves, slimy blobs and lots of other hideous creatures out to capture innocent people. They’re attacking your neighbours, your neighbours’ kids, their dogs and anyone else they can find. It is up to you to use any means possible to save the victims before the bad guys get them. Thank goodness for all those weapons and items lying around... And you knew that victim radar you bought at the pawn shop would come in handy one day – it lets you know the number of unfortunate victims left and their locations!

You start the game with a victim count of 10, which decreases whenever you save a victim – or one is captured by a monster. Once all the victims are gone (either rescued by you or caught by the monsters), an exit door appears to let you leave that level – unless the monsters got them all, then the game is over. You can then leave that level right away or continue to search for items, weapons and treasures.
If you see a question mark, pick it up to access a bonus stage!

When you progress to the next level, only the amount of victims you saved will be carried over. But don’t worry – you can earn bonus victims by earning points. You may never have more than ten victims at one time, so if you have ten victims and get enough points for a bonus victim, you will earn an extra life instead.

Each player starts with three lives. When your health bar runs out, you lose a life. You can earn a bonus life by picking up extra lives, or through points as outlined above.

You will continue to progress through the game as long as you still have lives and victims remaining.
