Hidden song:
------------
Insert the disc into an audio CD player. Advance to the last track to hear a song 
sung by Lo Wang.



Squash Enemies:
--------------- 
In the second level, there is a part near the beginning where there is a 360 rotating
gun turret and a forklift, both which you can operate. Using the forklift, find an 
enemy to come out into the "arena". When they come out and start firing at you, don't
shoot your forklift gun. Hold shift and drive right at them. If your fast enough and 
do it right, you'll run right over the enemy, squashing/crushing him! 



Levitate:
--------- 
Start any game or saved game. During gameplay press [j] and you will see yourself 
levitate up and down. To go higher press [a] to go lower press [Z] to stop levitating 
press [j] again. 
Note: If you stop levitating when you're real high you can die. Also levitating can 
cause a glitch that shuts the game down. If this happens just reset the game and try
it again.



Zilla Construction: Forklift kills:
-----------------------------------
There is a part near the start of the level with a 360 degree rotating gun turret 
and a forklift. Get in the forklift and find an enemy. When they appear and start 
firing at you, do not shoot the forklift gun. Instead, run the forklift directly 
at them. If done fast enough, you will run over them and crush them to death.



Misleading scenery:
-------------------
Near the end of the second chapter when you have to get into the car, move past it 
instead. You end up on a road that forks left and right. Choose either direction 
and it will take a while to reach the end of the road. It has a large sheet with a 
forest painted on top that covers the end, but there is a small crack on the right.
When you look through it you see the robots that are also shown in the game arcade 
level earlier in the game, but with a futuristic background.



Beginners Tips:
---------------
Written by -$ilver-

Being a newbie myself, I figured I would share some tips that even veterans have 
taken for granted. Or the differences between older and newer generation of video games.

-=Tips for New Players=-
Be sure to familiarize yourself with your weapons and equipment.

This should be obvious, but these older games were cut from a different cloth. Be 
sure that you familiarize yourself with your weapons and especially your items. They 
may not handle the same way other that games you are more familiar with do.

The thrown shuriken and especially the bombs have their own trajectory. I do not 
know how many times I tried to throw a gas bomb into a window, only to find it bounce 
off the edge more often than not. Knowing how to use the items will really help you.

Also being able to quickly access them and fire them is key to survival as well.

Currently they are bound by keys:
* Q – Medkit
* Z – Smoke Bomb
* V – Night Vision
* G – Gas Bomb
* F – Flash Bomb
* C – Caltrops

And to cycle between them are keys [] and Enter uses the item.

So as you can see, quite a few have some common sense keys already bound. F for Flash 
Bomb for instance. Not a hard stretch to understand why, as Flash starts with the letter 
F. But if any of those keys or especially the switching keys are not comfortable, change 
them to something that will be. But memorize what does feel comfortable and what is 
handy (being close to your other fingers on the keyboard, namely WASD keys) so you do 
not have to try and remember or guess what does what in the heat of battle is the best 
strategy. Or trying to reach for the [] keys to cycle to the item you want and then 
press the Enter key to deploy it, not so much. That was designed for playing the game 
with only the keyboard in mind. We use keyboard and mouse these days. But do what feels 
comfortable to you.

Most weapons and items can be thrown/shot through opened windows and doors with the 
lattice openings. Use that to your advantage. You can clear a room before they even 
have the chance to see you.

Also be aware of your weapon’s functionalities. Some weapons you have alternate firing 
modes, by pressing the same weapon button more than once. It is good to know the best 
weapon for the job, but also it’s best functions for a specific scenario.

Never under estimate the sword, especially on low enemies, as a single swing can end 
their life. On the same note, do not try to ninja the game by only using that. Again 
use the weapon made best for the job at hand. Even if the ammo for the rocket launcher 
is scarce, the weapon was placed there for a reason. Just don’t waste them on enemies 
not needed too. Also be aware of death animations. The cutting in half of an enemy may 
look cool, but if they are blocking your path to other enemies or a quick get away, it 
can ruin your run as they block you during their death animation.

To be really good at a level, you are just going to have to play it over and over 
again. I suggest when coming upon a new weapon to simply use it in a safe space, away 
from monsters. Understand it’s reload animation, even though you have no manual control 
over it. Trying to fire the uzi(s) and stop mid battle to reload can be catastrophic. 
Also get a feel for the way you move with the mouse. Settings can be altered in the 
options menu, but again this has a feel all it’s own or at least old school FPSs, 
compared to newer games you may be more familiar with.

Also don’t worry about getting every secret. Unless you are some mad man who is a 
completionist, you really do not need every secret. Some secrets yes, due to the better 
fire power you can find. But you do not need 100% to feel you completed the game. And 
on your second or third play throughs if you truly want to find it all, but can not. 
Simply use a guide. That is what they are for. Hardly anyone gets 100% of secrets 
without using a guide.
