What follows is a virtually complete translation of the documentation for
Neon Genesis Evangelion on Nintendo 64. Anything omitted from the docs were
omitted because of their irrelevance to game mechanics. If you have any
honest questions or comments then please, feel free to contact me at EVA
UNITII@aol.com. Please do not e-mail me with any trivial matters such as the
"correct" romanization of certain words or how certain sentances are
structured (I.e., You should have written, 'Ikari Shinji' instead of, 'Shinji
Ikari') Otherwise, have a ball with this superb title. I encourage you to
distribute this translation freely but be sure to have the final credits
paragraph included when you do distribute. Also, you may not alter it
without my permission.

SYNCH RATIO
At higher synch ratios, the Eva will be able to perform more difficult
maneuvers. Throws may become more complex or attacks may become more violent.
CHANCE! BERSERKER MODE
Many times, the game may take a suprise turn. Depending on the actions of
the Eva and it's opponents, different actions may unfold. In Mission1, if
the Shinji is taken to a 10% synch ratio and attacked a certain way by the
Angel, the Eva may enter into Berserker Mode. In this mode, the synch ratio
will become 100%. Experiment in other missions to see what unfolds.

Move back or forward with the Analog stick. Holding 'R' will allow a
backward or forward dash in close range while at far range (an arrow will
point to the direction of the angel at far range) it will allow a run.
(Page 17)
AT FIELD
By pressing the V C (Down C) button, the Eva will spread it's AT field. This
will protect it from all attacks so long as the button remains pressed. It
lasts for a brief time. When the AT Field meter is orange, the AT Field may
be spread. If the meter is blue, the AT Field must be allowed to recharge.
Chance! Breaking AT Fields
The only way an AT Field can be penetrated is if it is neutralized by another
AT Field. If both the angel and the Eva spread their AT Field then tapping
the A button and the V C button alternately will allow the Eva to attempt to
break through the Angel's AT Field. The AT meter will rise with each
successful tear.
(Page 18)
LOSING
Once the Eva's HP reach 0, the game is over. There is a chance that the Eva
may reactivate depending on the circumstances. If it does, it will be
allowed new "while running" moves.
(Page 19)
MISSION 03
This mission will have you attempting to target the angel before he targets
you.

the crosshairs meet, they will turn into a circle. This indicates lock-on.
Fire with the A button.
(Page 20)
SECOND CHANCE! EVA UNIT 00 COMES IN FOR SUPPORT!
If you miss the first shot, Eva Unit 00 will come in and shield you just long
enough for a second and final shot. The shield will only last for a few
seconds so make it count.

the target display. Align the angel with the Eva using the meter at the
bottom of the display. Once locked on, enter the prompted commands before
the meter runs out. If successful, you will damage the Angel.
If given a warning, press the B button to dodge the angel's immanent attack.

Current X degrees
Use the Analog stick to adjust the coordinates based on the "need to be
corrected" figures. Be careful not to adjust too steeply as the lance may be
lost. The coordinates must be in the red at the moment of impact or else it
will miss and the game will end.

happens, alternate the A and V C buttons until the power meter is overtaken
by orange. If you succeed, you attack will break through.
(Page 32)
MISSION CLEAR & SAVE
At the end of a successful mission, you will have the opportunity to save.
Select [YES] to save to the currently selected file or [NO] to progress
without saving.
GAME OVER & CONTINUE
If the game ends, you will be asked if you wish to continue. Select [YES] to
replay the current mission or [NO] to end the game.
[EASY] is the only selectable difficulty level at first. [NORMAL] and [HARD]
become available as each difficulty level is completed. New Missions also
become available and will tell the true outcome of the story.........
(Page 33)
SIMULATION MODE
In Simulation Mode, the player may select an Eva pilot to begin training.
There are only a few pilots and test programs originally but more become
available once story mode is completed.
After selecting a pilot and test program, the simulation will begin. In
upper left of the screen is the kill tally and in the upper right is the time
remaining. Pressing ^ C (Up C) will switch between cockpit and first person
views. Depending on the test program, there may or may not be crosshairs to
line up for a lock-on. In all test programs, firing is done with the Z
button. Try not to hit any buildings.
At the end of a simulation, you will be graded. Your grade is based on how
many angels you killed, how many shots were fired, and if any buildings were
destroyed or not. The best ranking is 'S' while the worst is 'F'
