You will now be able to compete for the Wrestlemania* Belt, or to use the practice mode. The Spectrum/Amstrad and PC will also allow you to adjust the control method.

Slaughter* - Camel Clutch At the start of the game you have 4 credits. Every time you lose a match, or you are forced to end your challenge attempt, an option screen will appear allowing you to replay the last match by using a credit. Once all your credits are used, the game will automatically go back to the opening sequence. Before the start of each bout, your opponent wrestler will have a chance to say what he thinks about you. You will then be given the right to reply. You can select your reply by moving the control left or right. Once you have chosen your reply, pressing the fire button will select it. Your opponent will then be allowed to reply to your comments. Then it's time to go on! MATCH RULES Each bout will last a maximum of five minutes. During which time the match can be won by pinning the opposing wrestler to the canvas for a count of three seconds. If there is not an outright victor by the end of the five minutes, then the match will be declared a draw, and your challenge for the Wrestlemania* Belt is over. If any competitor is forced out of the ring, a twenty second clock is started. This clock will reset once both wrestlers are back in the ring. Should any competitor remain out of the ring long enough for this clock to reach twenty, then the match is declared void, and your challenge for the Wrestlemania* Belt is over. GAME RULES Each wrestler has a strength indicator at the bottom of the screen (either side of the screen on the C64 version). This strength level will determine how quickly the wrestler can recover from being knocked on the floor, or how quickly he can throw off someone who is pinning him. Your strength is depleted when you are hit or kicked, or when you are thrown to the ground. As you can play the game, two different icons will appear on screen, indicating what action you should take. Fire Button Icon This icon will appear when your wrestler is on the ground. Pressing the fire button rapidly will make your wrestler get to his feet, but if your wrestler is weak then this may take a few seconds. Joystick Icon This icon will appear when you are grappling with your opponent. Moving the joystick rapidly from side to side will build up your grapple strength. This is shown by a growing bar at the side of the grapple icon. The first wrestler to make their bar reach maximum height wins the grapple. The winner of the grapple then executes his special move on the other wrestler. CONTROLS The wrestlers are controlled by joystick on the ST, Amiga, PC, Commodore 64, and by joystick or keyboard on the PC, Spectrum and Amstrad. For 2 player mode on Spectrum +2 or +3, a Kempston or Sinclair interface is required to play with 2 joysticks.
