Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms--children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

I remember when you could drive from state to state... before Texas seceded from the Union and when the U.S. was whole. But America no longer exists. She's split into regional nation-states; the militias that formed to defend each nation haven't stopped fighting each other. As they isolate themselves from their neighbors by demolishing roads and bridges, the airplane and the zeppelin have replaced the car and the train as the only reliable way to move passengers and cargo from one nation to another. As the nations make war in the air, so too have air militias and air pirates taken to the skies to seek--and steal--their fortunes. There is no federal law anymore; whoever can protect him- or herself wins--which, looking on the bright side, makes it great for me and my gang, the Fortune Hunters. Newspapers and magazines write about me--they seem to think I'm some kind of hero. "Fighting for the sense of individual freedom and adventure that was lost during the Great Depression and the collapse of central government," blah blah blah. I don't know about all that--I'm just trying to even the odds for the underdog and make a little money along the way. Pirate Time Money. People like mega-millionaire William Harriman have a lot of it, and my air pirates need some of it. We're not greedy--we only take from those who can afford it. Sure, it's not an entirely honest living, but since the stock market crash and the Great Depression, you have to do what you can to make it, and what we do best is fly rings around other pirates, militia, cops, and private security in our souped-up planes. Anyway, rich people just love to tool around in those big, lush zeppelins. Zeps fly along in stately procession, providing a great aerial platform for operations, or for plundering. Our Pandora is one of `em. It's got everything our pirate band needs: shelter, sustenance, and space to plan the next caper. But I still catch myself eying all those other zeps flying around. Most of them look like they're holding some tempting loot... 2 3 It's Good to Have Friends That's my life, but no pirate operates alone. To get the big payoffs, you have to have some help--which means finding people you can trust. These days, that can be hard to do. I'm lucky, though. I found some people who are hungry like me, can fly straight, and won't stab me in the back. I call them the Fortune Hunters. Every gang needs a leader though. That's where I come in.... "Brooklyn" Betty Charles Betty is our newest member; she has a crush on me, I'm sure of it. I can't say I don't give some of that back--she's quite a looker. Betty grew up in a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn, then her mother sent her to her aunt and uncle's in Minnesota. That's where she learned how to fly her uncle's crop dusting plane. After a stint as a wing walker in the circus, Betty left to become a commercial pilot, which is when I met her. I could tell she was longing for adventure, so I offered her a position in the Fortune Hunters. Nathan Zachary My name was "Natan Zingari" before I changed it. After growing up wandering from place to place in the southwestern United States, I joined the Escadrille Lafayette (a French air war squadron in the Great War) at 16 and fought in Europe under the legendary ace Eddie Rickenbacker. My military career was brief as my plane was brought down by a lucky shot. Then the Germans stuck me in a POW camp to rot. While I was there, I met Dr. Fassenbiender, who became a dear and lasting friend. I didn't want to wait until the war ended to leave the place, so I escaped. The only place to go was Russia. From there, I managed to finesse my way into Oxford, and after graduating, I returned to the good ol' USA. I put what I learned into action and made a fortune on Wall Street. The crash of '29 hit me hard--almost knocked me all the way down to the street. There was no way I could rejoin the legit world, so I formed the gang. Together, we put the hurt on some fat cats and slowly but surely I've been getting back the fortune I lost. Big John Big John is a natural pilot, and even better, a trustworthy friend. He's a gentle giant, but he grew up in a tough world and is nobody's fool. He honed his skills first with the Rangers in Texas; now he tends to identify with the underdog in any situation. He's a man of few words: Some think that makes him mysterious; I think he just does his talking with his flying. 4 5 Dr. Fassenbiender Dr. Fassenbiender is a scientist who was forced to work on rocket planes for those bloody fascists in Europe during the war. His refusal to develop new technology for them eventually landed him in the German POW camp where we met. We became fast friends, and hooked up again after we had eventually found our separate ways back to North America. He resumed his work--this time on new technology for the Fortune Hunters. His best development is a new fuel injection system, which promises to make our planes more powerful and efficient. I can't wait to use it to soup up my Devastator. Louis "Wild Card" Thibodeaux Thibodeaux is a complex man guided by one force: the urge to become very rich, even richer than me. We're alike in that we know the quickest way to it: air piracy. That's why he formed yet another rival airpirate gang, the Ragin' Cajuns. To his friends, Thibodeaux is a calculating mastermind of the Big Plan. To his enemies, he's a deadly and merciless adversary. Thibodeaux began his career as a gambler in the Louisiana bayou and has proven himself to be extraordinarily good at it, even today. He's also the luckiest man I've ever met--he can draw just the right card at the right time, which is how he got his call sign "Wild Card." Thibodeaux even became the leader of the Ragin' Cajuns through shrewd gambling and complete luck. Now he's busily occupied with smuggling, bootlegging, and straight-up piracy. Jokers to Watch Out For These are just a few folks to watch out for... Maria "Bloody Mary" Sanchez The raven-haired beauty Maria is a complete mystery. All we know is that she owns a repair shop out in the Arixo desert. She's an incurable thrill seeker and not above using her looks to get what she wants. She's known to live a dangerous, reckless life. I wouldn't mind getting a little reckless with her myself. But she's nobody's fool; I'd have to earn her respect--I'm not used to that! Heck, it'd probably do me good, though. Jonathan "Genghis" Kahn Kahn used to be a friend--now he stands in the way of what the Fortune Hunters want. He's Chicago's kingpin, and heads up our rivals, the Red Skull Legion. He stops at nothing to get what he wants. I've heard rumors that he's hiding a huge zep right in Chicago somewhere, and his thugs are just waiting to take us all out. I have a feeling we're not done with each other... yet. 6 7 Our Mission Our mission as Fortune Hunters started out pretty simple: Get back the loot we lost. But then things started getting crazy and now I'm just trying to make things right. I mean, a person can only take so much before the need for revenge takes over. This is where you come in--you can help us. Here are some things you can do: Steal planes Blow away rivals with an anti-aircraft gun Rob some of those tasty big zeps hovering everywhere Remember, everything comes with a price. The harder we try to capture the loot, the more enemies show up. Fly a fast plane, need frequent repairs. Lose touch with comrades, and be forced to go it alone. That's why we have a home base. Rethink, Reload Pandora is what we call home. This is where we retreat to swap planes, swap stories, take a breather. It's where I go to figure out what to do next. I can always count on Pandora as a place where I can... Hook up with my Fortune Hunters to figure out our next mission Check out our inventory of planes Upgrade the planes in our arsenal 8 9 Where to Find Loot Air pirates know all the best places to find riches to take and resources to plunder. Here are the areas where we operate, and here's what I know about them. AA guns All those pirates, all that loot. Some of that loot has to be protected, some has to be pilfered. You might find it, well, advantageous, to man an anti-aircraft gun to shoot away your rivals. So look around Sea Haven for the AA guns. (Hint: Some are high in the mountains; some are down floating on the water.) Service stations Even planes need a little R&R. If you've got the cash, stop in at your friendly local service station. You can get fixed up in no time, and be ready to take on the world again. You'll find the Sea Haven service station down in the basin, inside the mountains. Zeppelins Sea Haven This gem is in the Nation of Hollywood. It's a beautiful place to moor a boat, and a lot of rich people come and go. Take a look at the lush landscape, and the beautiful waves lapping up on the beach... So of course Sea Haven's a juicy target for pirates and other thugs. And look for those cargo and passenger zeps passing through. Take this down; you've got to know a few other things about Sea Haven... Whether it's our own Pandora or some other behemoth in the sky, big zeps get my attention. I like to circle around them, because you can always find something useful. You'll see what I mean. Stationary targets Those Ragin' Cajuns are a crafty bunch. They even have guard towers, where they can keep an eye on intruders. Who do they think they are, anyway? Well, with a well-placed shot or two, I can take out those targets. Whether it's in Sea Haven or somewhere else, you have to be ready for those silent, deadly structures. Pirates I'm always running into some of the Ragin' Cajuns, or other louts like them. They think nothing of harassing innocent businessmen. Or lifting cargo that's not theirs. (Hey, it's different when I do it. Finders keepers.) So keep your wits about you-- look for loot and who you might have to fight for it! Either you'll escape with the goods, or you'll earn some cold, hard cash. Volcanoes What would a paradise be without some fiery volcanic action? And what do you suppose we might find underneath that hot magma? Take note, my fellow pirate. Life is full of opportunities and challenges. Wherever you are--mountains, desert, sea, or sky--keep a lookout for your friends and enemies. How you get the job done is up to you, and the tools you choose. 10 11 Arixo Arixo is the nation that used to be Arizona and New Mexico. Run by the Arixo Indians, it's in a tight spot politically and literally, sandwiched between the Republic of Texas and the nation of Utah. Arixo is a favorite for pirate gangs because there are lots of places to hide out. You can enjoy some peace and quiet--while planning your next move. Rumor is there's more in the ground than worms. Chicago Chicago, in the Industrial States of America, is a hopping town, packed with skyscrapers, planes, and elevated trains. It's more hazardous to fly through the streets of Chicago than it is to weave through the canyons of Arixo. Lost City Not much is known about this place, but we have learned that it's another treacherous stretch of land. Large tunnels were part of some lost city, and they're big enough to fly through--even get lost in. 12 13 Planes Seems like everyone in North America flies now. With no roads and no railways, planes are the best way to get around, especially from one nation to another. Every pirate gang, militia, and nation tends to favor one plane over another. The Red Skull Legion likes the Brigand, the Nation of Hollywood flies the Firebrand, the Navajo go for the Fury and the Desert Fox. If you see one of these planes in the sky, you can guess who's at the controls. There are three types of aircraft out there: dogfighters, interceptors, and zep-killers. Each type does a specific job really well, and you've got a lot of models to choose from. Here's my basic advice on the planes. They're not all here, but you get the general idea. You'll have to discover more as you fly. Characteristics of Dogfighters Plane Devastator Speed Good Agility Good Firepower Good Strengths / Weaknesses Great all-purpose fighterbomber. Equipped for primary & secondary weapons only. Characteristics of Interceptors Plane Desert Fox Speed Excellent Agility Fair Firepower Good Strengths / Weaknesses Fast, fast, fast! Goes fast, but turns slow. Characteristics of Zep-Killers Plane Brigand Speed Fair Agility Fair Firepower Excellent Strengths / Weaknesses Guns in front and back make this plane double the trouble! If you're fighting with a Brigand, watch out for those guns! Dogfighters My Fortune Hunters prefer these planes for aerial combat. They're great for mixing it up with the bad guys. Dogfighter planes are good all-purpose aircraft. As you get to be a better pirate, you'll have more dogfighting planes to fly. These are just a taste. Interceptors The fastest planes in the sky. May lose a bit in firepower and maneuverability, but they make up for it in speed. Devastator My Devastator is a fighter-bomber manufactured by Hughes Aviation, and it was a radical design when it came out in 1932. Its propeller is at the back of the plane (called a "pusher") and its elevators are located at the front. It doesn't have a tail, so it uses rudders, located under the wings instead, to help crank it around in turns. Looks weird but flies great. Primary weapon: Four machine guns Secondary weapon: Magnetic rockets Desert Fox The Desert Fox is both fast and heavily armed. It can skim across the dunes at lightning speed, so you can take out opponents before they know what's hit `em. Primary weapon: Four machine guns Secondary weapon: Mini-rockets 14 15 Zep-Killers These babies are the heavy iron. They might not move very fast or turn very sharp, but let me tell you, zep-killers are nearly impossible to bring down, and they're loaded with firepower. They really bag those zeppelins. you to death. But if you can get your guns on one, it falls apart after a few good shots. Primary weapon: Twin machine guns Secondary weapon: Sniper cannon Brigand The Brigand is very popular because of its reliability and rugged construction. It's small but heavy and well-built. Guns in front and a turret in back make chasing Brigands a bit of a problem. If you're chasing one, just keep yourself at the Brigand's 5 o'clock position, and you'll do OK. If you're flying one, those big guns in the back give you an advantage. Primary weapon: Quad cannons Secondary weapon: Concussion rocket Seaplane The Seaplane is a versatile machine--Thibodeaux likes it. It's really handy for water operations, like boarding ships or taking out coastal guards. The Seaplane is rugged enough for the high seas, but nimble enough to engage in some air-to-air combat, too. And, it's been known to down a Zep or two... Primary weapon: Twin cannons Secondary weapon: Triple missile But What About the Other Planes?! Specialty Planes Some planes defy categorization because of their specialized functions. Here are two of my favorites. In the course of a quest, you'll find you can upgrade your plane, or find other aircraft to um... liberate. Stealing a plane's pretty easy. Look around for a blinking icon of an airplane parked somewhere. Fly close enough to the plane, press the X button, and jump into your new ride! Upgrading is pretty easy, too. Look for the upgrade tokens (you see `em everywhere), or get them awarded to you for completing missions. Take those tokens and your cash to the Pandora, and buy yourself an upgraded plane. Mini-Gyro These little guys are more of a threat than most pirates give them credit for. Their firepower is weak, but they can turn on a dime. They're slow, so they`re easy to catch, but once you catch a mini-gyro, it's tough to get a good aim on it. It's got great sniper capabilities, too. While you're trying to get a bead, it'll fly around you in circles, nickel-and-diming 16 17 How to Fly All of my Fortune Hunters are expert aviators--you've gotta be when you fly at high speeds through canyon gaps no wider than a doorway. But it's really instinct that makes a great pilot. Controlling the plane is easy: Just steer where you want to go, and you're there. You can also speed up for a short time by pressing the Y button, or slow it down with air brakes by pressing the B button. If bad guys are bearing down on you, try some special moves (see how below). That's all there is to it. You still need the guts to sit in the cockpit and take the big risks for big money--but that's what being a pirate is all about. Secondary Weapons No pirate is satisfied with a stock plane. You have to soup it up. Luckily, Dr. Fassenbiender developed something very tasty: Each plane has its own, unique secondary weapon. Find out all its characteristics when you choose your plane. Don't have enough ammo? There are balloons suspended in out-of-theway areas, with crates dangling from them. Fly to one and your ammo increases automatically. You can tell what a secondary weapon does by its shape and color. Each one can only be used a few times, so we've learned to use 'em carefully. Fireball cannon Burns enemy planes with a big blast of fire. The enemy plane catches fire and burns for a few seconds, causing damage. Tesla Cannon A sneaky weapon that shoots an arc of electricity, which latches onto a plane, overloading its electrical system and causing damage. Rocket Swarm A small bunch of tiny rockets that can damage several enemy planes at once (if your aim is good enough). Concussion Rockets Not terribly maneuverable, but they have a powerful warhead capable of damaging multiple targets in one huge explosion. Re-arm Boost your ammo by flying into this icon. Showing Off with Special Moves So, you want to fly with the best? Try some special moves. Pull off death-defying rolls, the famous Immelmann, and other tricks designed to get you out of trouble. Just click the Right thumbstick, then move it to one side or the other. You'll get a different move depending on the combination. Go ahead, give it a try! Quick Tips · · In a dogfight, press B to make a tighter turn. But don't sit on the brakes! Tap B once or twice, and then zero in. If the enemy is behind you, slam out an Immelmann to turn around on him. (Click and move your right thumbstick.) Don't be afraid to roll your airplane to get through tight spots, like canyons, in between buildings, or around other airplanes. Use the Right thumbstick to roll your plane. Boost your Health by flying into this icon. Service station Fly to this icon to get your plane fixed or tuned up. · 18 19 AA Gun Sometimes the best weapon for the job isn't on your plane at all. It's on the ground, in the form of a big ol' powerful antiaircraft gun. AA guns are great for holding position and taking care of enemy airplanes. You can control some guns; other guns just shoot at you when you're in the air.
