You now own the authentic Konami home version of The Adventures of Bayou Billy, one of Konami's many original designs for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

HOW FAR WILL YOU GO FOR THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS? A long, black cottonmouth quietly snakes across the porch of your Bayou Bungalow, his moist back shining in the moonlight. But you pay no mind to your visitor. You're too lost in love after walking your best girl, Annabelle (the sweetest honey this side of a bee's nest), home from the Jambalaya Jamboree, where you romantlcally bobbed for crawdads and shared a bowl of fillet gumbo. You're also satisfied from smashing Gordon's (the gangster king of Bourbon Street) Red Bean 'n Rice Warehouse, the fabled headquarters of a global smuggling network. Suddenly, a speeding limo peels across your moss infested lawn. Bullets strafe your gutters, scaring birds from their roosts and driving you to the ground. When the smoke clears, you see a rock beside your head with a note attached. It reads: "Dear Mista Bayou Billy, Cause of your meddlin' in my livelihood, I've taken measures to end your hankerin' for bravery. Your cherished Annabelle is hold up here on my plantation and lessin' you stop messin' with my business she ain't never gonna grace your neck of the swamp again I Threateningly yours. Gordo." You crumple the note and holler like a riled gator. Fire dances in your eyes, and sweat beads on your hands and forehead. You reach for your foot long blade, knowing what you must do. HOW TO PLAY Rescuing your beloved Annabelle is anything but easy, and you'll have to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the ultimate Cajun Queen. Nine perilous stages await your backwater courage, as you tangle with maneating crocodiles pistol totin' henchmen and armed limos. You've even got to be on the lookout for bomb dropping Cessnas (and you thought pigeons were a menace). Along the way, from the slimy swamp to the Gangster King's rat packed piantation, be sure to pick up weapons and supplies left behind by ruthless gang members. To begin, choose the game you wish to play - either Game A or Game B - on the title screen. Do so by moving the Cursor using the Select Button, and then press the start Burton. If you select Game A, you'll use the Gun System during Stage 7. If you selecrt Game B, you'll use the Controller during Stage 7. (For details on how to use the Gun System, see the gun handling manual from your Nintendo. To use the Controller as a firearm, see page 6 of this instruction book.) You can also choose the Training Mode. During this mode you'll practice street fighting, gun shooting or car driving. The final option offered on the opening screen is the Game Sound Effects mode. In this mode you can listen to all of the music and sound effects from the game. To operate, simply move the cursor up or down using the Select Button to pick your favorite tune. Start the music by pressing the B Button. Stop it by pressing the A Button. The game ends when the life meter of your third and final man dwindles to zero, or when you rescue Annabelle from the clutches of that mafia menace. By the way-if you're wonderin' if all this fightin' and a drivin' and a shootin' is worthwhile, just ask any red blooded fella who's ever seen Annabelle. He'll tell ya that the risks are well worth the reward! THE HERO AND THE HEROINE Bayou Billy Raised by a family of gators, you've grown into a legend. You're a regular swamp superhero and all the southern belles love your brute strength and Cajun charm. Of course, your heart is reserved for only one belle.
