INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o
I'm already 20% done with the APF *1000/IM (3 games down out of 15) and here's
another FAQ for the system to add to the pot. This consists of two games:
Brickdown (a clone of Breakout)/Shooting Match (shoot the moving target)

CONTROLS
o---------------------o
Joypad up or down: Move the paddle up or down.
Joypad Enter: Shoot bullet. (on the emulator, press "+" to use Enter)
o---------------------o
GAMEPLAY
o---------------------o
This game assumes you are either using the actual system or MESS. Surprisingly,
emulation is better on MESS than on APFE_W since the later moves to fast.
First you choose between these 7 options
Brickdown
-1. Eight Layer -- Slow
-2. Eight Layer -- Fast
-3. Twelve Layer -- Slow
-4. Twelve Layer -- Fast
Shooting Match
-5. 5 Bullets
-6. 10 Bullets
-7. 20 Bullets

Brickdown
You have nine balls to start with. What is so unique about this Breakout clone
is that instead of hitting the ball against against the blocks sideways. That
means you means you will moving your paddle up and down instead of left and
right. If the ball gets past you on the left side then you lose that ball.
Options 1 and 2 give you eight layers of bricks colored blue, white, and cyan
and you can choose for the ball to go slow or fast. It starts to get faster the
longer it stays in play. Options 3 and 4 are the same except you are playing
with twelves layers of blocks and they are colored red, white and blue.
The biggest drawback about this game that once you clear all the blocks, you are
playing against the wall until all balls are gone. It is a shame though as it
would make sense to replenish the bricks to keep on going. The highest score in
8-layers is 112 and in 12-layer, the highest score is 168.

Shooting Match
This is actually a 2-player game. You choose to have 5, 10, or 20 bullets to
shoot a moving target until it is gone. The target moves slowly then everytime
it gets shot the target gets smaller. The smaller it gets then the faster it
goes. You basically choose the number of bullets to see how much of an expert
you are at shooting. It is tough to hit the target so make it count.
