Greetings! Here is some linguistic help for American fans of Gally/Alita. This
is not a FAQ, or even a guide. It is meant as a translation of the manual
booklet accompanying the game. Though my Japanese is extremely rudimentary, the
translation is as faithful as possible to the original manual. But some of this
IS based on "experience" rather than translation. And I admit I could have
screwed the translation at times. If anyone could spot any errors, I would
appreciate hearing from you. (If you do note an error, please let me know WHERE
in this manual it is. This is fairly big.) But in the mean time...


Here are some bracketing conventions I use in this FAQ:
<...> means press a button on the controller
[...] the translation of some label or choice written in
Japanese on the screen.
  __   Guide (chapter) heading. Note: "" should appear as a
"bullet" or dot. Some translators screw this up.

GUNNM MANUAL TRANSLATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------



---------------------------------------------------------------- (cover)

The big Kanji character in the upper left of the cover is called "GUN"
(actually JU) which means "gun". The big Kanji on the right is "MU" meaning
"dream". GUN + MU =Gunnm (the last "u" is dropped) or simply "Gun Dreams." I
believe it means "dreams a gun has", rather than someone dreaming of guns.

Between the two in red is "KASEI NO KIOKU" which means "Martian Memories." The
tiny red characters across the word "GUNNM" is just "gunmu" again spelled an
alternate way.

Underneath in white letters - "explanation booklet"

In the triangle -
"Please keep in mind this game has violence and grotesque expressions."

   WORLD OF GUNNM   

ZERAM AND SCRAPIRONTOWN
Separated above the earth by 3000 meters, constantly floating in the sky is an
utopian city (Zeram) and below, another city built on its expelled trash
(Scrapirontown). Within these two, the world of Gunnm takes place. Why, in the
middle of a junkyard, would anyone want to live in that world? Underneath Zeram
existence itself becomes formidable. This story begins in Scrapirontown.



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg3)

IDO AND ENCOUNTER WITH DESTINY
The winds blow the smell of oil and iron around an artificial creation, a
city(Scrapirontown) where people dwell between scrap and machine. In this town
human beings and cyborgs live mixed-in together. Within there lives a "mostly
cyborg, tuning and maintenance" cyberne doctor named Ido.

One day, he came out of the town and in a mountain of scrap found a cyborg girl
asleep for hundreds of years and brought her back to life. That cyborg girl who
lost her memory is the heroine of this story.

EXPLANATIONS OF THE SCREENS

WORLD MAP SCREEN
This is the satellite view of the area. Places you can go to are represented by
red dots. As you play more places (and red dots) appear on the map. You can go
to a new place by moving the crosshairs with the direction pad onto the place
you want to go to. Press .

LOCAL MAP SCREEN
This is your normal view. It is an overhead view of Gally and her surroundings.
In this view you roam around her world, interact with characters, and when
necessary fight. There are several readouts on the screen. They are:

1) Energy Gauge - shows her current amount of health. It is generally in the
upper left of the screen. When Gally is attacked she loses energy and the bar
inside the gauge shrinks. When she is healthy the bar is green. When she down to
about 60% the bar turns yellow and the box around it takes on a yellow tinge.
When she reaches a critical level the bar turns red and the box takes on a red
tinge. When it reaches zero (all black) she dies. There is a numerical readout
to the right of the gauge which shows the exact amount of energy and her maximum
energy.

2) Plasma Gauge - shows how much plasma she has available. This blue gauge is
just below the health gauge. During the game at times Gally obtains a cyborg
body capable of "plasma energy" attacks. Performing a plasma attack uses up
plasma. The numerical gauge to the right shows her current amount next to her
maximum. When Gally is using a non-plasma type body this gauge is not available.

3) Battle Mode indicator - When Gally is in "battle mode" in the upper right of
the screen the words "BATTLE MODE" appears. Gally can only fight when she is in
battle mode. However she cannot change weapon, missile or leave the area while
in battle mode. Note: she can still change her part(accessory) in battle mode,
when she gets them. Also a green triangle appears on the ground in front of
Gally indicating the direction she's attacking.

4) Enemy Gauge - When an enemy is nearby and active, a gauge appears at the
bottom of the screen. It is similar to Gally's health gauge. If she is fighting
multiple enemies, multiple gauges appear along the screen's bottom. When she has
targeted an enemy, its corresponding gauge is highlighted in green and a red
circle appears around that enemy.

5) Missile - In the center of the screen topmost edge appears a picture of the
optional missile weapon she has equipped. Below it is a readout showing how many
she is carrying.



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg9)

FLOW OF THE GAME -
The game begins at Ido's home/clinic. From there you travel around town talking
to people, fighting bad guys, and eventually defeating the boss to get to the
next level.

Flowchart-
1) Ido's Complete Equipment Management and Maintenance - This
is Ido's (and Gally's) home and cyborg clinic. This where
you begin. Here you can rest and rejuvenate yourself when
needed. You can also save your game here.
2) Conversation  Information Gathering - Talk with various
people around town. Just move Gally near them and press
.
3) Factory 33 - This is wear you can register as a "hunter-
warrior," check the wanted list, cash in kills for money,
buy items and also save game. You can also enhance Gally's
cyborg body here for a fee.
4) Battle - Enter battle mode and kill, kill, kill.
5) Boss Battle - defeat your rival.
6) Next Development - Go to the next part of the story...



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg10)

   STATUS SCREEN   

ABOUT THE STATUS SCREEN -

You access this screen when you hit pause during the game. It is subdivided into
several boxed in sections called windows. Going along the left side, at the top
there is a "character graphic" of Gally, below which is the "MENU SELECT"
window. (I'll explain how to use it in a second.)

Along the right side, on the top is Gally's money (in "chips"). Below that, in
the center is the big "EQUIPMENT" window. At the bottom of the screen is her
"STATUS PARAMETERS" window.

The EQUIPMENT window lists different things depending on what choice you make in
the menu select window. When you first enter the status screen it translates to
the following:

BODY: [the cyborg body her head is attached to]
WEAPON: [the weapon she is using]
MISSILE: [the secondary weapon she has equipped]
PART: [the accessory she has equipped]

Here is the translation of what's in the menu select window:

[ITEM]
[WEAPON]
[MISSILE]
[PART]
[OPTION]
[LOAD]
[RETURN]

You can use the cursor to change selection in the menu select window. The
selections available are explained below in more detail:

 ITEMS -
when you select ITEM, this the equipment window lists Gally's inventory. She can
carry a maximum of 120 items. (However missile items only take up only one slot
each. e.g. 45 molotov cocktails only takes one slot.) She can carry an
assortment of health and plasma recharge packs, weapons, missiles, and parts.
You can use or equip items here. Use the direction pad and to select an
item. Once you select an item, the top of the equipment window changes to list
the following options:

[USE] [DISCARD] [get INFO]


USE
You can "use" items at any time even in battle. You can
recharge your health, or plasma. Parts can also be changed at any
time. But you can only change weapons or missiles when you are
not in battle mode. After you select this, you will be asked to
confirm.
[YES] is on the left, [NO] is on the right.

 MISSILES -
When selected the equipment menu lists just her inventory of missiles. Otherwise
it works similar to when you select ITEMS. Missiles are Gally's secondary
weapon. It includes projectiles, guns, and throwable items. This option is only
available outside of battle mode. See the translation of page 18 for more info.

 PARTS -
When selected the equipment menu lists just her inventory of accessories.
Otherwise it works similar to when you select ITEMS. Parts are accessories that
increase Gally's abilities. They can raise her maximum energy level, or increase
her attack damage. This option IS available in battle mode also.

 OPTION -
Almost the same as the option screen at the beginning of the game. You can still
select message speed and change sound. However the options for sound are
switched [MONO] is now on the left, [STEREO] on the right. Also the next line I
couldn't translate. It says something like "maku of battle time
appearance:off/on"

 LOAD -
Sends you to the LOAD screen. (see pg5)

 RETURN -
Returns you to the game in progress...


STATUS PARAMETERS
This window at the bottom of the status screen displays Gally's vital
statistics. It lists the following:

The window is interactive. As you select an item, weapon or part, the window
will show the change (in blue numbers) if you use or equip the item.



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg12)

   DECKMEN   

USING DECKMEN
A typical deckman looks like a metal cylinder with fat cheeks and lips, and
bolts for eyes. Comes with one robot hand. When outdoors they come equipped with
a small base with feet. These perform the interface for the Factory and its
services. They can let you save, or sell you items, enhance your body or cash in
your bounties.

FACTORY-33
The authority center of Scrapirontown. Inside there are 6 cylinders, each with a
deckman inside. #1 handles game saves, #2 handles hunting results, #3 gives you
fighting results, #4 is the items shop, #5 is the weapons shop, and #6 is the
cyberne. Cylinders 1, 2, and 3 are on the left side. Cylinders 4, 5, and 6 are
on the right. Just walk up to a cylinder and press . The first cylinder
you should go to is cylinder-3. There you can register as a "hunter-warrior."
Please see pages 13-15.

BEING A HUNTER-WARRIOR
Hunter-warriors are essentially bounty hunters. Check reward listing at FACTORY-
33. Then go hunt down the criminals and terminate them. Return to Factory-33 to
receive cash (in chips) for each kill. There you can also spend your money on
weapons, items, or body enhancements.

USING THE REWARD LIST
Once you register as a hunter-warrior, you can go to Factory-33 and talk to the
"netman," the robot in the center of FACTORY-33. It will show you the reward
list, a listing of all the criminals wanted by FACTORY-33. It displays their
name, height, weight, DNA code, and picture. It also lists the reward for each
criminal.



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg13)

These following pages describe the functions of each FACTORY-33 cylinder.

1) GAME SAVE
When you come here you can save your game. First you will be presented with a
window listing the following:

[MEMORY CARD1]
[MEMORY CARD2]
[CANCEL]

After choosing a memory card, you will be presented with the save screen, which
works similar to the load screen. Choose a data slot to save your game. You will
see a message asking if you want to save.

[YES] [NO]

After the game saves, press cancel or repeatedly until you return to the
deckman.

2) HUNTING RESULTS
You come here to receive cash (in chips) for each enemy you kill. Each enemy
type will be listed as well as how many. The total cash will be added to your
account listed in the upper right corner. Press to exit.

3) FIGHTING RESULTS
This deckman will give you a running tally of all the enemies you killed in the
game. In order to access this menu, when you first talk to the deckman you have
to choose the second reply (the one with the question mark). You can use the
direction pad to scroll up and down the list. Press when done.

When Gally first comes to FACTORY-33 she must register as a hunter-warrior. Come
to Cylinder-3 to register. The deckman will give her a brain bar code and then
she can go hunting!



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg14)

4) ITEM SHOP
At the item shop you can buy non-weapon items. Basically it sells repair kits
which heal Gally, Plasma Supplies which replenish her Plasma levels, or (latter
in the game) parts which she can equip to increase her ability in battle.

5) WEAPONS SHOP
The weapon shop offers weapons to increase the damage she can deliver in battle.
There are two types of weapons: blades and missiles. Although she can fight very
well bare handed, she increases her attack power if she carries some sort of
blade or knife. The second type, missiles, includes any throwable item, missile
or ammo (guns). Missiles items are one-use only items (except guns which use up
ammo). However you can buy as many as you have funds for.

When using the shop, there are three selections to choose from:

[BUY] [SELL] [EXIT]


BUY
Select "buy" and the store lists what it has to sell and the cost
of each item. Use the direction pad to scroll down the list.
Press to select an item to buy. If the item is a
missile-type item, then a message will ask you how many do you
wish to buy.Move the cursor to add or subtract from the quantity.

They deckman will then list the price and ask if you wish to
purchase the item.

[YES] [NO]

Select yes and the item will be placed in your inventory. If it
is equipable, another message will ask if you want to equip it.
Select [YES] or [NO] again. Press to exit the buy screen.

SELL
Select "sell" and a list of YOUR items appear. Operating the
"Selling" menu is similar to the "buying" menu. Items will sell
for half the its original cost. Also certain items are not
sellable.
Select [YES] or [NO] to confirm sale.

EXIT
Select "exit" and press to leave the menu. You can also
press .



---------------------------------------------------------------- (pg15)

6) CYBERNE
The Cyberne can replenish Gally's health and plasma or give her a tune-up. A
tune-up increases one of her parameters, either Maximum Health Energy, Attack
Power, or Defense Strength. You can see her current stats at the bottom of the
screen.

HEALTH: [current health] MAXIMUM HEALTH: [max. health]
PLASMA: [current plasma level]
ATTACK: [attack power] DEFENSE: [defense strength]

When you first enter the Cyberne, move the direction pad then press to
select one of 3 options:

[BODY RECOVERY] [TUNE-UP] [EXIT]

PLASMA LEVEL
Selecting this will replenish her plasma energy to
maximum.

TUNE-UP
This will permanently increase the abilities of her
current cyborg body. You can have multiple upgrades to each
attribute, but the cost of each successive upgrade increases
also.

There are three choices:

HEALTH TUNE-UP
This increases her maximum amount of health energy. It
also replenishes her health to the new maximum and also
replenishes her plasma to full too.

ATTACK TUNE-UP
Increases the damage she can inflict with her attacks.
