                  encounter, with no food, no water, no chopper cover, not 
                  nearly enough ammo and no idea if you are going to make it 
                  back... volunteers only!! 
                  GAMEPLAY

                  Operation Wolf comprises six levels of lethal arcade action, 
                  each increasing in difficulty as you progress. You are armed 
                  with a sub-machine gun with limited ammunition and a small 
                  number of grenades. Extra ammunition and grenades can be 
                  collected by shooting at them when they appear on the screen. 
                  Animals, if shot, will sometimes drop these items, however 
                  under no circumstances should you shoot any innocent 
                  cicilians. You must protect the hostages on levels five and 
                  six from any harm in order to ensure their safe escape. 
                  Your energy level is shown on the right hand side of the 
                  screen and this will decrease if you are shot by a solitary 
                  soldier, (substantially if you are shot by a vehicle or you 
                  accidently kill a civilian or hostage). 
                  As you complete each level, a small amount of your energy is 
                  replenished and when you have just a few units left, the 
                  display will flash. 
                  To complete a level you must shoot and destroy the relevant 
                  number of soldiers, tanks, helicopters etc as displayed on the 
                  bottom of the screen. This will probably be the most dangerous 
                  mission you have ever undertaken. Be alert, be strong and 
                  above all be careful! 
                  STATUS AND SCORING

                  Status panel shows score, number of bullet magazines left, 
                  number of bullets per magazine, number of grenades and damage 
                  level. Also shown on each level is the number of baddies which 
                  need to be eliminated in order to complete level and number of 
                  hostages rescued. Points awarded for disposing of baddies vary 
                  depending on type. Points also awarded for completing level. 
                  When damage level is full player is dead. There is one 
                  'continue' option. Player's damage is increased if he shoots a 
                  civilian.
