INTRODUCTION G0100 =============================================================================== Welcome to 'Akira' for the NES, released by Taito in 1988. It was only released in Japan. The guide uses Shift-JIS to display Japanese characters in .txt form. If you cannot see them automatically and just see some garbled font, set your browser encoding or file viewer manually. This game is a text adventure. There is a lot of reading to be done. The game is now available in English thanks to a group of fan translators. You will have to find out more on your own, I merely supply the guide through the game. If you are playing the Japanese version then you can use the Japanese walkthrough, else use the English walkthrough. Suggestions, comments or errors - tell me about it. Enjoy! =============================================================================== 02.) BASICS G0200 =============================================================================== Akira is a graphic adventure game based on the 1989 animated movie of Katsuhiro Otomo's epic Manga. The game has the player in the role of Kaneda. Events begin with Kaneda and his motorcycle gang in police custody after their friend Tetsuo has been abducted by the military. [WikiPedia] At the main menu, choose START to begin a new game. Pick CONTINUE to input a password and proceed where you left off before. You get this password when you have died during the game. The controls of the game are very easy, as only the two action buttons are used: A to select the command(s). Shows the menu if you hid it. B to revert back to previous selection if available. Also removes the menu. SELECT is only used for a short scene and it will be explained at the time. Use the UP and DOWN directions for selecting commands. Some commands menus can scroll up and down if there are more than four available options. The display is also quite basic. The top part has the current location and story pictures. The top right has a menu when you are able to perform an action. By pressing B you can hide this menu, and return it with A. Usually this menu is available when there is something to do, and not there if the story is progressing, such as somebody talking or some picture sequences. All talk and storyline goes on in the lower part of the screen. =============================================================================== 03.)

If one of them gets past you then it will come back from the other side so use SELECT to turn around. If no craft approaches you should turn around as they can ambush you and that is also instant death. Luckily each drone only takes one hit and this is not too difficult. After seven drones you have survived, but there is still one more... かわす とびつく Use the A button to shoot the soldiers. B moves the vehicle to the side. You need to shoot one or two to advance the story. If one goes by it does not matter, but if one catches you in the center you die. Thus, aim for the one in the center to make this easy. みる -> Scroll right and point at the guy in white (Tetsuo). はなす -> テツオ よぶ きく -> アーミーのコト きく -> ゲリラのコト きく -> ゲリラのコト きく -> テツオのコト きく -> アキラのコト かんがえる にげる みる しらべる かけよる かけよる かけよる かんがえる かんがえる ばしょいどう -> まち ばしょいどう -> がっこう ばしょいどう -> よていち とまる しらべる -> Point at that laser in the back of the Jeep. つかう -> Shoot the laser 5 times. You do not have to hit him.
