It's all-out combat when Taito leads the charge! FRONT LINE is a war game that keeps players enlist- ing for duty ...and that’ll make a hero out of you!

As battle breaks out, the player is armed with a powerful gun and live grenades. But so is the enemy! Land mines are deadly and must be avoided. A clever tactic is to use the trees as a barricade to stage an ambush.

As play progresses, the enemy changes its battle plan and attacks with tanks! Now guns are useless. The player can lob grenades or jump into a tank in hot pursuit. Brick walls can be used for temporary protec- tion but the player must also beware of grenades thrown from fox holes. For a stronger defense and heavier artillery fire, the player can jump into a larger

tank. If his tank is hit twice, it spells defeat at the hands of the enemy.

When the fort is in sight, the player must success- fully execute onefinal assault. Fie must leave the tank

and grenade the fort. Then it’s total victory as the

enemy raises the white flag! .
