The Story
*********
Date: 2066 Location: Planet Earth
The Plot:
Government Earth Officials are searching for a soldier to execute a
dangerous, important and top secret mission into space. Someone they can
trust, someone not afraid to die. But no one is suitable. No-one, that
is, apart from 2 Men, imprisoned in an extremley high security jail for
murder. Can they trust them? They decide to take that chance.
But the question remains, which one?
They decide to put them under the most extreme testing, each other.
They must duel to the death, using all sorts of weapons, over different
terrains and time zones and different mazes.
Each player is equipped with a gun, ammo and one security card. The
problem is, the exits need two cards......
Winner Takes All... Winner takes his Freedom.....
Oh okay then.. In English:
Pick up the weapons, pick up the power ups, and let the daylight into
your opponent.

Installation
************
Floppy disk users:
You'll need Diskfont.Library installed but seing as it's part of
workbench that shouldn't be a problem...
Hard Disk Users:
Just copy (Drag) the disk onto your hard drive wherever you want it.
Just double click on the Pyramid and you're away!
(You'll need Diskfont.Library)
You MUST NOT delete the Fonts: drawer in the Ambush drawer. Don't move
this drawer away from here, and DON'T copy the fonts to the fonts: in
your boot partition. Ambush will look inside it's own drawer for fonts,
so don't mess with it or I'll mess with you.
Playing The Game
****************
Controls:
---------
Player 1 uses a Joypad (Or 'Stick if you're a fogey) in port 2, and
the Z key to cycle weapons.
Player 2 Uses these Keys:
Up: Up Cursor
Down:Down cursor
Left:Left Cursor
Right:Right Cursor
Fire: Enter
Cycle Weapons: backslash (/) Key
Joypad can be selected for player 2 on the options menu.
Object Of The Game
******************
Run about the maze using the above controls, firing shots at your best
friend, filling him full of lead until the daylight shines through him.
Each shot which hits your opponent earns you 10 Points
Each game is the best of 2 Rounds, the statistics shown at the end of
round 2.
After Killing your opponent in Round 2 you must nip off to the
exit.
The person who wins both rounds is the winner, or in the sad case that
you win a round each, the person with the biggest score in the end wins.
When running around you may notice power-ups dotted around the maze. Just
walk in to these and they're yours.
Power Ups
*********
Speed Boots: Makes you nice and nippy!
1St Aid Kit: More NRG
Barrs Irn Bru Bottle: Even more NRG!!!
Credits: More money to spend in the Computer Terminals
Also, you may stumble accross some weapons for your use. Walk Accross
these, and if you haven't already got one of them, It's Your's!
Once you have more than 1 Weapon you can cycle through them using the Z
key (player1) and the backslash / key (Player 2).
