The Legend

becoming one of the top-selling games of all time. It's worldwide appeal and
availability ensured that almost everyone who had a Mega Drive played Sonic 2

enabling him to build his doomsday machine! He’s grabbed control of every-
thing except the 7 Chaos Emeralds. These magnificent gems are believed to

ALEX KIDD AND THE ENCHANTED CASTLE
The Legend
By the time the first Mega Drive version of an Alex Kidd game arrived in 1989,
he was already by far the most played Sega character, owing to the fact that
the original was the built-in game for the Master System.
Alex’s father, King Thor has been kidnapped by Ashra, the mean ruler of planet
Paperock. Alex goes to find his father, using his power to wallop anything that
get’s in his way. He then grabs the gold and treasures that magically appear.
Abig surpise also awaits Alex as he finds himself dragged into a game of
Janken with Paperock bullies. In this game he has to make a hand signal of
paper, rock or scissors at the same time as his opponent. If Alex’s sign beats
the bully’ssign he wins. If not Alex gets bonked out and loses some of his
gold.

abygone civilization, the ancient world of Phoenicia. And play the game that
originated among the Phoenician merchants - Columns. It's incredibly capti-
vating. You'll find yourself losing track of time. Yet it's very simple. You don't
have to be a game whiz to play at the hardest level.
The Game
Columns of sparkling, rainbow-color jewels drop one after another. Arrange 3
or more jewels of the same color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and
remove them from the play screen. If the columns pile up to the top, the game
is over. If you have the urge to challenge something different, try Flash
Columns. In the Flash Columns version, you'll be timed on how quickly you
can make a flashing jewel disappear.
Start on the easiest level and work your way up. Or challenge one of the high-
er levels from the start. So simple and so captivating! If you'reready for a

take over the world with a deadly virus, his colleagues expose him to radiation.

powers. Dr. Caine's new identity is The Ooze. You'll trudge through level after

GAIN GROUND
The Legend
Launched on November 8, 1991 and ported from the Arcade, Gain Ground was
one of the last top down shoot-em-ups made famous by such classics as
Commando and Rambo. The game is a great mix of action and strategy as you
aim to rescue hostages of a computer system that is threatening civilization.
The Game
It's the 31st Century, and science and technology have progressed to the point
that the human race is approaching perfection, no war, no poverty, and no
conflict. With nothing to worry about, the human race seems destined to live
forever in harmony; but what if Earth came under attack? By this point in time,
people did not know how to cope with problems or conflicts, and had com-
pletely lost their survival instincts. In response to this, the United Earth
Government created the Gain Ground system, a war simulator that would help
humans rediscover their lost instincts. After several terrible malfunctions, the
creators became prisoners in their own creation. Now it's up to you and two
courageous comrades to go into the Gain Ground system, rescue your fellow
humans, and destroy the system. You'll battle through different periods in his-
tory as you revive your survival instincts, while trying to live!
The object is to lead your crew successfully through each level, picking up
hostages as you go. As you collect the hostages, they will join you, using their
own unique attributes to obliterate the hoards of worker drones that are out to
get you. The strategy element comes in selecting which characters to use first
in each level.
Note: 2player mode is not operational.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel found mostly found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first
try 00 to see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3
until a Line 1 or Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears
on screen, then push the power button on the game and it should auto-
matically come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does
not work, another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a
look at your television remote. There may be a button on the remote that
may take you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking
for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or Video. If your
remote has one of these buttons, turn your television back to Channel 3
and select that button. The power button on the game should be turned
on in order for the game to appear on the television. If your television
remote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not work-
ing, you may need to search the main menu for a way to determine your
auxiliary channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your
auxiliary channel, you may need to check your owner's manual and/or
contact a local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background
showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting
avideotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This
may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary
channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV
and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue
screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your tele-
vision you can change the setting from cable to video and display a blue
screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a hidden door
on your television that has color, picture, horizontal, vertical, and cable,
antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel, you can select
the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears. If you have
tried all of these options and arestill unsuccessful connecting the con-
sole, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual or contact
the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for console games.
Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so
if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the
game. You can connect our games through DVD players with the same
connection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please call
our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
