      Welcome to Mr Rice II
      ---------------------

There is no plot. Try to kill the
enemy.  There  are two methods of
controlling  our hero;  mouse and
keyboard.

Using the mouse
---------------

Left    : Point the cursor to the
----      far left of Mr Rice and
          press the right button.
Right   : Point the cursor to the
-----     far  right  of  Mr Rice
          and  press   the  right
          button.
Aiming  : Position   the   cursor
the Gun   above  or below Mr Rice
-------   and   press  the  right
          button.
Firing  : Press the left button.

Keyboard
--------

Use the  arrow keys  for movement
and aiming.

Action keys
-----------

CTRL     : Mr rice will fire his
selected gun.

SPACE    : If  standing   still,
Mr Rice will fall onto his belly.
From here he can  still crawl aim
and fire  his gun.  If  crawling,
Mr Rice  will  stand. Next  to  a
bonus,Mr Rice will pick  up  that
bonus and  use it. Next to a lift
or  door,  he  will  activate  or
deactivate it. Next to a vehicle,
he  will  climb  in  and  use it.
Inside a  vehicle, he  will climb
out.

ALT      : If Rice   will    leap
athletically into the air.

W: This will tell you the current
weapon you are holding.

1,2...9,0 ; + -
This is the gun selector.

S: Save the game; then  press the
number  on   the   keyboard  that
corrisponds  to the slot in which
you  wish to  save you game. This
only works for a limited time.

J: If you have  one, this is  the
jetpack toggle.

B: If  ou have  one, this  is the
riceboard toggle.

Function keys:
F1 :Help  toggle.  Use  this  for
    aiming   the  gun,  or  mouse
    practice.
F2 :Parallax  toggle.  It  has  3
    settings;  all  on,  half  on
    and all off.
F3 :Screen computer toggle.
F4 :Foreground graphics toggle.
F5 :Turbo mode  toggle. This will
    only work  on  some machines.

Weapons
-------

The  enemy has very stupidly left
many  guns, bonuses and medipacks
around   the  numerous levels you
will  play.

Some of the main weapons include:

Pump laser: (1 on the keyboard)
The default weapon, and  some say
the weediest. Mr  Rice  uses this
gun at first  to  give  the enemy
a chance.  It  fires rapid bursts
of moderately powerful red light.

Land mine: (2)
A  square   shaped   charge  that
causes  huge  amounts  of  damage
if used correctly.

Laser rifle: (3)
This  is  more  like  it! A  very
powerful   gun  that  kills  very
thoroughly.

Machine gun: (4)
A  rapid fire  weapon. Okay, it's
an   Uzi.  You  can   kill   many
thousands   of  nasties with this
gorgeous weapon.

Chain gun: (5)
Even  more   totally  devastating
than  the   Uzi.  This  needs  no
pause  to  reload,  and  the mere
force  of  this weapon will shove
dieing   nasties  several  metres
before they finally hit the dirt.

Shot gun: (6)
A  shot  gun.  Just  like in real
life,  it  is  excellent at close
range, but crapper at long range.
But,  at  long  range,  the enemy
can't  shoot you either, so don't
worry about it.

The MISSILE launcher: (7)
This   large   weapon  fires  big
missiles. They will kill anything
that  they  hit. If you shoot one
at  a  badguy near you, they will
kill  you  too. 'Tis a  very nice
weapon to add to your armoury.

Flame thrower: (8)
This  sort  of burns things. Then
they die.

Grenades: (9)
Throw them, run away,  then  they
explode.  They  will  kill things
near  them  effectively,  and  if
used  'just  right'   they   will
propel  nasties   several  metres
into the air.

X-Ray laser: (0)
THE  most  powerful laser I could
invent. Use it wisely:
All the time and kill every body.

Some   of   the   more    popular
vehicles you can use are...
The Helicopter:
This flys  and has a side mounted
chaingun. It's  second  weapon is
the  grenade  dropper.  This  has
moderate armour,and can withstand
several hits.

The automobile:
A heavily armed and armoured car.
This  has  a  front mounted chain
gun and  missile launcher. It can
withstand  several direct missile
shots.

The motercycle:
An altered version of a very nice
motercycle.  This has been fitted
with a  turbo  laser cannon and a
jump pack.

At  the end  of each chapter, you
will  have  to  kill  a guardian.
This  is  easy  because  they are
very  stupid.  All you have to do
is  figure  out  it' s  method of
attack,   and  dodge   it.  Later
on,  they  are  harder  to  kill,
but  this  is  only  because they
have  more  weapons,  but by then
you  will probably have a missile
launcher  anyway, so don't worry.
