SETUP:
- The game will automatically ask you to calibrate the guns when you start the game for the first time. Simply use your mouse or keyboard to "target" the top left corner when the game asks so. There aren't any visual cues to help this, so you'll have to go by the numerical coordinates that are visible on the screen. The numbers you see are in a simple 8-bit scale going from 0 to 255. To "target" the top left corner, keep moving your mouse until you get P1 X and P1 Y as near to 0 as possible. The middle is located at about 127, 127, and the bottom right corner as close to 255 as possible. Repeat the process for the second player.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Bonus Trick on Stage 1 : On Stage 1, exoskeletons will sometimes pop up in the foreground. When this occurs, shoot the skull until a CPU appears. Shoot the CPU quickly and you can receive a bonus (points, shield, more energy, plasma cannon, etc.)!
* To kill the skeletons faster, shoot the skull and not the chest. Shooting the chest requires more bullets to kill them.
* As soon as John gets in the truck, start shooting the tires. If you
do this you'll make it to Skynet on your first try.
