INSTALLATION - -*********************************************************************** - -ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR requires DirectX 6.

ALIEN ABILITIES - -*********************************************************************** - -HEALTH - -Health is displayed as the numerals in the top right of your screen. -When you are damaged, your screen will flash yellow from the sides. -Your health can be replenished by feeding on other lifeforms - see -JAW ATTACK in the ALIEN WEAPONS section. - -ARMOR - -The strength of the Alien's exoskeleton is displayed as the numerals -directly under HEALTH. As with HEALTH, damage to the exoskeleton can -be repaired by feeding on other lifeforms. - -VISION MODES - -The Alien has the ability to 'see' the world through two modes: -HUNTING and NAVIGATION. In HUNTING mode the Alien's senses are -attuned to searching for prey, whereas in NAVIGATION mode the -senses are concentrated on defining the surrounding environment. - -MOVEMENT & CLIMBING - -The Alien has the ability to move on any surface. Simply hold down -the 'Crouch/Climb' key whilst moving. When climbing, releasing the -key will release the Alien's grip and drop it to the floor. Using -the 'Jump' key while climbing will cause the Alien to pounce in the -direction it is looking. - - -*********************************************************************** - - 6. ALIEN WEAPONS - -*********************************************************************** - -CLAWS - -Tapping or holding the 'Claw Attack' button triggers a flurry of -swipes and slashes. In the right circumstances the 'Claw Attack' -button can also trigger the secondary jaws. - -JAW - -The secondary jaws can be used to feed on other lifeforms, thus -replenishing HEALTH and ARMOR. Jaw attacks require a certain amount -of skill to achieve. When a target's head is close enough and in the -centre of the screen (the 'sweet-spot') the Alien's inner jaws will -become visible to indicate that a jaw attack is possible. Pressing -the 'Claw Attack' key will then launch the jaw attack. - -N.B. Jaw attacking corpses provides less of a health/armor bonus than -live prey - assuming that the corpse still has a head. Try practicing -on unarmed personnel! - -TAIL - -Tapping 'Tail Attack' causes a quick, low power, jab, whereas holding -down the 'Tail Attack' button readies the tail for a more powerful -strike. The tail will automatically target any prey in front of the -Alien. - - -*********************************************************************** - - 7.
