Game Play

In the obstacle course, you must repeatedly press the fire button to run as fast as possible. Press the jump button in order to clear or mount hurdles of various hights. Complete the course within a specific ammount of time to continue the game.

In the Iron Man Race, the controls are the same but you will jump puddles and boulders and swim across a stream. In the firing ranges, aim with the joystick or trackball and shoot using the fire button. There will be various firing range sessions beginning with stationary targets, preceeding to moving targets, and finishing with to having to avoid hitting the targets that represent comrades. The comrade targets resemble your drill instructer but you must still avoid hitting them (the wrong targets and the drill instructers) as it will cost you the game. The activities get progresivly more difficult as you proceed.
