Getting Started
1. Set up your Genesis and Sega CD according to the instructions in
the Sega CD System instruction Manuel and plug in Control Pad 1.
2. Open the Sega CD disc tray r insert the Iron Helix CD label side up
and close the door,
3. Turn on your TV or monitor, and then turn on your Genesis. The
Sega CD logo should appear on your screen, (If nothing appears,
turn off your TV and Genesis, and make sure everything is set up
correctly.)
4. Press any Button to begin the intro to the game. (You can skip the
first part of the intro by pressing any Button. There are two parts to
the intro, so you'll have to press one of the Buttons twice to get to
the Main Menu.)
5. After the intro is finished, you will be presented with the Main
Menu.
YOUR GOAL is to send a remote-controlled probe on board a renegade
spaceship. Somehow you must find a way to stop the ship before it
delivers a horrible doomsday weapon on an alien planet. The crew of
the ship is dead, but hidden throughout its many rooms are video dues
which may help you destroy the ship and its deadly guardian robot, The
Defender . First, you must search for and find DNA left by the crew, then
you must explore ail of the rooms on board looking for the hidden
videos. Use clues you find to booby-trap the deadly Defender and then
use your wits to stop the ship before it is too late.

How to Play
You must stop the Jeremiah Obrian from reaching and destroying the
peaceful planet of Calliope To do so, you will enter the Obrian with a
remote probe with the purpose of finding a way to stop the ship, The
Obrian has a robotic Defender that hunts down intruders. You have
three probes to work with. Good luck.
There are four phases in iron Helix, You must complete aII four phases in
succession to win the game.
Phase 1; Collecting DNA
Move a round the ship to collect t he Captain, First Officer and eith er the
Chief Engineer or Weapons Officer's DNA. Use your scanner (the circle
around the direction arrows) to locate organic material. When a direc-
lion on the scanner is highlighted, rotate to that direction and use the
robotic arm to scan for samples and acquire DNA.
Phase 2: Locating Video Clues
You need to find two messages: one to stop the Defender robot and the
other to destroy the ship. Use the robotic arm to log onto data ports
when "Message in Data Port" appears on your screen.
Phase 3: Eliminating the Defender
The video dues will give codes that you can use at a location specified
i n th e du e to d est roy the Defe nde r, 0 nee a 11 h at locat ion, use i he s hi p's
computer (in a data port) to enter the access code.
Phase 4: Destroying the Ship
When the Defender is destroyed, you have about five minutes to input
the code to destroy the ship before another Defender is launched, If
you complete these stages flawlessly, you win the game.

The Story
It is far into the future, and the Earth is in a state of cold war with an alien
race known only as the Thanatosians. Humanity, having solved its own
problems of disease and prejudice, has found a new enemy on which to
vent its hatred.
Soon all of Earth's resources are directed towards preparations for an
impending war that could occur on a galactic scale. The Earth s military
i n d ustri a I co m p’lex begins to work feve ris hly on powerful new wea pons
of doom, and tension mounts as armies of ships are deployed.
Somewhere in a highly classified sector of space, a powerful ship carry¬
ing a doomsday weapon is participating in war game maneuvers. The
ship is a Cerberus Gass Destroyer named the Jeremiah Obrian, and it
contains a payload so secret that even the crew is ignorant as to its
exact nature. The ship is carrying a new weapon considered to be the H-
bomb of its era, armed and ready to be used against the Thanatosians,
The war game is terrifyingly realistic, perhaps too realistic for the ship's
computers. The computer takes control of the Obrian and initiates an
attack pi a nf or Calliope, a small Earth-likeThanatosian planet. The ship's
crew and Captain attempt to override the computer, but the computer
fails to recognize the Captain's DNA access code and ignores all at¬
tempts to stop the ship.
Unbeknownst to the crew, the weapon they are carrying contains a
deadly virus which quickly attacks the cells of an organism, mutating
DNA and rendering the body unable to carry out vital metabolic func¬
tions, Within hours, an infected organism dies, deprived of its ability to
manufacture vitai metabolic proteins.
Unable to resist the virus or Interface with the computers, the crew dies
off one by one. The shi p heads towards Cal liope carryi ng a weapon that
will start a war that could end all life in the universe.
Meanwhile, only a few high-ranking officials are aware of the ship's
cargo and programmed target. Precious time elapses before word
reaches military HQ, but by then the Cerberus Obrian is all but unstop¬
pable, programmed to deliver its virulent payload swiftly and with deadly
precision. A high-priority emergency beacon is broadcast in the slim
hope that someone, somewhere, might intercept the ship.
Someone does receive that beacon, and that someone is YOU!

IRON HELIX
Where You Come In
You are on board the Science Ship Indiana, it is poorly manned and
weaponless,, but it does have a powerful tractor beam. It could latch
o nto t he Qbrian an d low you a long wh i le you fi g Lire out a wa y to stop it,
Your ship may be slow, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for with
navigational accuracy. You're able to plot an intercept course and pro¬
ceed to the correct coordinates.
With a potentially deadly virus on-board, your only option is to send in
a probe and hope it can get past whatever defense mechanisms the
ship might possess. The only hope of destroying the ship or disarming
the weapon is your Darwin 5 probe. With just six hours before the
Obrian breaches Thanatosian space, you have little time to spare.
The Zoological Probe you carry can only observe and gather
microsamples of organic life. It cannot attack or even defend itself, but
it can interface with the Obrian 1 s computers, and that just might be
enough for you to sabotage the mission and avert a holocaust.
The Main Menu
Once the introduction is complete, you will be at the Main Menu. The
Main Menu consists of three numbers at the top of the screen (the Skill
Levels), and four o ptio ns be I o w t he Ski II Le ve I s: Beg i n N e w Ga me, Loa d

Playing Iron Helix
To successfully finish Iron Heiix, you must complete four separate phases
of the game, A status screen will inform you when you complete each
phase.
Phase Collecting DNA
To complete Phase l r you need to locate three different DNA samples
from high-ranking crewmembers (Captain William Parrish, First Officer
Catherine Ingram and either Chief Engineer Joseph Geast or Weapons
Officer Robert Benedetti), These crew members' DNA will allow you
access to computer banks and secured areas of the ship.
Finding DNA Samples
The Scan Direction Indicator circling the Probe Direction Controls will
alert you to organic material in your probe's immediate area. The Indi¬
cator will highlight in the direction where you should turn to scan the
material. To scan for DNA, maneuver your probe so that the highlight is
on the to p of th e circ I e (th i s m ea n s the sa m p I e i s directly in front of yo u}.
iUH DaiCTOMlhlHCATC*.
Once you are facing the direction of the sample, use Button A and the
location of the material will blink on your video monitor (if the default
Pre-Scan mode is ON). First move the robotic arm to the circular cross
hairs on the screen. When the cross hairs blink, you may hit Button A if
you wish to acquire the sample. The sample will then be stored in the
probe's data bank. (Only three DNA samples can be stored at a time, If
you want to remove a sample, hit the START Button to access the
probe's computer and select the DNA BANK option to remove the
sample.)

Staying Alive
You must constantly avoid the Defender to stay alive while collecting
the clues you need to advance to the next phase. Remember that you
only have three probes to work with, so do your best to avoid getting
killed.
There are three map displays you need to use to navigate through the
ship and keep track of the Defender. [Use Button C to switch between
the three maps,)
You can also temporarily confuse the Defender by jamming it. When
the Defender is dose to your probe, the circle around your Direction
Controls will flash yelfow. If you are in immediate danger, this circle will
flash red. You can then use Button® to jam and disorient the Defender.
(Jamming does deplete your probe's energy which could then result in
probe failure.) NOTE: Jamming is more effective when you move after
you jam.
Phase 2: Locating Video Clues
Once you get the three DNA samples you need, your probe's power will
be restored and you must then find the video messages left by the
crew. You need to Find at least f wo distinct types of messages. One will
show a way to eliminate the Defender, and the other will show you a
way to stop the ship. These messages are located on various computer
data ports in rooms throughout the ship.
fi
Dwx ftw CttifOii
Accessing Data Ports
When you are at a location that has a video message in the data port,
you will see "Message in Data Port" on your screen. Use your probe's
arm (Britton A) to hook up to the data port, After the message is played
once, the key parts of the information will be recorded as notes in your
computer database. The clue can be called up by hitting the START
Sutton and choosing NOTES,

IRON HELIX
Phase 3: Eliminating the Defender
Once you have found the two video clues necessary to complete the
game, you must use the one that explains how to disable or destroy the
Defender robot first. NOTE: You may find and use more than one of
each clue (in case the Defender re-launches).
Using Access Codes
Some of the dues will explain how to defeat the Defender. Listen care¬
fully to the video, goto the location indicated in the due, and then use
the ship's computers to execute the access code that will stop the ro¬
bot, You can access the computers by linking with the data port speci¬
fied in the clue.
Phase 4: Destroying the Ship
Once the Defender is out of the way, you have about five minutes to
input the access code to stop the ship. If you wait too long, another
Defender will be launched. Move your probe to the location given on
the video message and hook up with the data port there. After you
enter the access code, congratulations! You J re victorious and the uni¬
verse Is safe agai n. Try ag a i n on a h ig her level where t he Defender gets
nastier and the dues are harder to find.

The Iron Helix screen takes the form of a remote interface. You are
controlling the probe from on board the Indiana using a remote control
device. Following is a description of each function or display on this
device.
Video Feedback Screen
This shows a view as seen from your probe. As you move about, this
screen will display rooms and corridors, it also is used to display PNA
samples when they are scanned.
Probe Direction Controls
When these arrows glow green, it means that your probe can move in
that direction. (Use the O-Pad for direction control.) If the up arrow is
red, there is a door in front of your probe that can be opened by press¬
ing UP on the D-Pad.

IRON HELIX
Scan Direction Indicator/
Threat Warning Light
Around the Probe Direction Controls is a circular LED that serves a dual
pu rpose, If on e of t he four com pass poin ts on t his drc ie is highlig hted r it
means that there's an organic sample in that direction, (Turn to the
appropriate direction and use Button A to scan for the sample,)
The ci rc Ie also d o u bl es a s a Th re at Wa rn i ng Light, If th e circl e is I it g ree n,
the Defender robot is within a safe distance, if the circle turns yellow,
the Defender is nearby and within jamming range. And, if the circle
turns red, the Defender is almost on top of you.
Power Level Indicator
This green bar shows how much power your probe has remaining.
Every time you scan for DM A or use the jamming device, the power levei
drops. If you run out of power, you can no longer jam; your probe will
eventually shut down and be destroyed.
Map Display Screen
This screen displays one of three maps showing different decks of the
ship, (Use Button C to switch between maps,) The first map shows the
location of your probe (indicated by a triangle). The second map tracks
the location of the Defender (indicated by a square). The third map
shows a side view of all the levels of the ship and both the probe and
the Defender,

Hints and Tips
If you're having t rouble fig wring out what to do, how to stay alive, how
to win the game or If you just want some general dues and hints r read
this section,.
WARNING! Reading this portion of the manual will greatly reduce the
challenge of figuring out the game for yourself and could reduce your
playing time.
For additional help, you can call our Hint-line at 1 -900-773-HINT {$.95
per m j n ute). If you're under 18, don't forget to ask yo ur pa rents before
you call The Hint-line requires a Touch-Tone telephone and is only
available in the U.S.
Skill Levels
* Skill Levels above Level 1 are more challenging. Not only is the
Defender faster, it is also smarter. Every time you open a door or
plug into a data port, the Defender will move towards that loca¬
tion , (You ca n use thi s as a way to lure t he Defender to its death or
to lure it away from areas you wish to explore.}
DNA
* There are three levels of crew DNA, High-ranking crew DNA will
allow you to access the video messages and computers. These are
the Commander (WiIJiam Parrish), Lieutenant Commander
(Catherine Ingram}, Chief Engineer (Joseph Geist) and the Weap¬
ons Specialist {Robert Benedetti).

IRON HELIX
* The Medical Officer (Jacob Blatman) and the Security Officer
(Tatyana Semenovsky) are crew members who had access to most
of the ship, but not to the codes for the weapons or ship controls.
Their ON A will act as skeleton keys, allowing you to travel freely
throughout most of the rooms where you r ll find the higher level
DNA.
Other crew members' DNA will provide access to some rooms,
depending on that crew member's function and rank. Non-human
DNA will not help you,
* In Level 2 and Level 3, high-ranking DNA will always be found in
rooms, never in hallways or common areas. The higher the level,
the fewer the number of DNA clues and video messages.
Rooms
* Rooms you may have thought were inaccessible may not actually
be locked at all times. There may be important information con¬
tained within.
Movement
* Use ladder chutes to move undetected between floors. But be
careful! The Defender moves quickly in ladder chutes, but does not
use elevators,
* There Es a "secret" dead-end ladder chute that the Defender won't
use. You can hide in it undetected,
