Good value package of three games in one.

This program will ask you whether you want infinite time and / or bullets - type it in and play the tape from the start.

Hmm, and another hack in the Your Sinclair Smash Tips partwork which they never printed a correction for. After being asked if you want infinite bullets and time the program quits with the error: B Integer out of range, 70:2. This can be corrected by changing line 70 to: 70 READ a : POKE f,a : NEXT F. The poke will then run, but you will be wasting your time, because you won't have infinite bullets or time, because they made a mistake in one of the data lines. Arrrggh !

10 LET b=58 : LET t=58
20 INPUT "Bullets? (y/n) ";b$
30 IF b$="y" THEN LET b=50
40 INPUT "Time? (y/n) ";t$
50 IF t$="y" THEN LET t=50
60 FOR f=23536 TO 23546
70 READ a : POKE a,f : NEXT f

Shoot gorillas whilst they are coming down. The longer you press fire, the further you jump. To reach Barlin's cave, go left, in, left, out, right, right, in, right, right, right, right, out, then keep going right until you are told to start the tape. A combination of roll forward and backward, reverse kick and low punch are very useful.
