From tsr@www.komkon.org (|tsr) NES-SE-USA Seicross(r) --- Seicross Story Here on the planet Colura lived two different tribes. One was the Petras, a highly civilized tribe. Another was the Basrah, a vicious tribe. The larger Basrah all of a sudden declared war on the Petras. The Petras were very civilized, and were pacifists who did not possess enough arms and weapons to protect themselves against the Basrah's attack. They were quickly driven underground without much resistance. A handful of the Petras were left and a few ex-captives who barely escaped from the Basrah were waiting to be rescued. Finally the Petras developed a mini-size rescue bike which they called Gilgitt Petras. They blasted off on Gilgitt Petras from their secret hideout to rescue the Petras who still remained behind. Race your bike along thrilling backgrouns as you battle alien enemies. The serenity of the space city is broken as players blast off into space from the gate in order to save their people who are left in the battlefield. --- Name of controller parts and operating instructions Use Controller 1 for 1 player games Use Controller 2 for second player in 2 player games CONTROL pad: Operates Gilgitt Petras SELECT Button: Use this button on title screen to select 1 Player or 2 Player game.

There is a bike chase in the obstacle zone, a bike chase in the slippery zone, and a final battle with the Dinosaur Tank across the battery zone. As the game proceeds, the enemy gets tougher, This is more than just a shooting game. You also have to concentrate on avoiding enemy bikes and other obstacles. But you have the energy beam gun to defend yourself. - Control Gilgitt using the Control Pad. Use Gilgitt to throw the enemy's bike into the wall and other obstacles. You can also destroy enemies with the energy beam gun. - Unless you destroy an entire battery of enemies, shells will be launched off from behind you.
