Another cool SEUCKER from Alf Yngve. Didn't quite make it this time.

THE STORY:
The year is 2053 AD...
You remember that you are Joe Rubicon, decorated hero from the great Timewarp Wars which ended in 2022.
You ALSO remember that you are Joe Rubicon, decorated hero from the great Timewarp Wars which ended in 2050.
Confused? You should be.
Because you are suffering from timewarp injury.
Any shock can cause you to split into two identical copies, two overlapping realities.
And a new war is coming.
You are not ready for this fight.
But you must fight, to save the world - even though it may cause you to fall apart... in a split second.

GAMEPLAY:
You control Joe Rubicon's movements and firing with Joystick only. Joe can fire LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP+LEFT and UP+RIGHT, and fire simultaneously in two directions.
If Joe passes a SPACETIME ANOMALY (a glowing green ring), or loses a life, he will split into two copies.

NOTE: Only one of these copies can fire in several directions.
You can choose join the copies back into one with the Joystick, or control them separately.

Joe will automatically walk forward until he reaches the end of a level, where one or several bosses await.
From that point, you must push UP to proceed to the next stage (watch for an on-screen prompt).

Certain obstacles are lethal - don't run into them.
Some obstacles on the ground (water, potholes, undergrowth, blue panels) will prevent Joe from moving sideways. Avoid them!

Collect energy capsules (marked "E") to restore Joe's vitaly. 10 capsules will award you a bonus life.

Between each level comes a bonus stage in which you can boost your score and gain extra lives.

IMPORTANT: Joe has two score and life counters, one for each copy. The points you score will not be shared between them, so make sure both copies get enough points to survive!
If either copy of Joe loses the game, the remaining copy plays on alone. Good luck - both of you!
