About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear
in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and
understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course
of gameplay may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of
the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being
played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing
a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to
nd this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the
manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

No More USA
I miss the United States.
I remember when you could
drive from state to state…
before Texas seceded from
the Union and when the
U.S. was whole.
But America no longer
exists. She’s split into
regional nation-states; the
militias that formed to defend
each nation haven’t stopped
ghting each other. As they
isolate themselves from their
neighbors by demolishing roads and bridges, the
airplane and the zeppelin
have replaced the car and the train as the only reliable way to
move passengers and cargo from one nation to another.
As the nations make war in the air, so too have air militias
and air pirates taken to the skies to seek—and steal—their
fortunes. There is no federal law anymore; whoever can
protect him- or herself wins—which, looking on the bright
side, makes it great for me and my gang, the Fortune Hunters.
Newspapers and magazines write about me—they seem
to think I’m some kind of hero. “Fighting for the sense of individual freedom and adventure that was lost during the Great
Depression and the collapse of central government,” blah blah
blah. I don’t know about all that—I’m just trying to even the
odds for the underdog and make a little money along the way.
Pirate Time
Money. People like mega-millionaire William Harriman
have a lot of it, and my air pirates need some of it. We’re not
greedy—we only take from those who can afford it. Sure, it’s
not an entirely honest living, but since the stock market crash
and the Great Depression, you have to do what you can to
make it, and what we do best is y rings around other pirates,
militia, cops, and private security in our souped-up planes.
Anyway, rich people just love to tool around in those big,
lush zeppelins. Zeps y along in stately procession, providing
a great aerial platform for operations, or for plundering. Our
Pandora is one of ‘em. It’s got everything our pirate band
needs: shelter, sustenance, and space to plan the next caper.
But I still catch myself eying all those other zeps ying around.
Most of them look like they’re holding some tempting loot…

It’s Good to Have Friends
That’s my life, but no pirate operates alone. To get the big
payoffs, you have to have some help—which means nding
people you can trust. These days, that can be hard to do. I’m
lucky, though. I found some people who are hungry like me,
can y straight, and won’t stab me in the back. I call them the
Fortune Hunters.
Every gang needs a leader though.
That’s where I come in….
Nathan Zachary
My name was “Natan Zingari”
before I changed it. After growing
up wandering from place to place
in the southwestern United States,
I joined the Escadrille Lafayette
(a French air war squadron in the
Great War) at 16 and fought in
Europe under the legendary ace
Eddie Rickenbacker. My military
career was brief as my plane was
brought down by a lucky shot.
Then the Germans stuck me in
a POW camp to rot. While I was
there, I met Dr. Fassenbiender, who
became a dear and lasting friend.
I didn’t want to wait until the war ended to leave the
place, so I escaped. The only place to go was Russia. From
there, I managed to nesse my way into Oxford, and after
graduating, I returned to the good ol’ USA. I put what I learned
into action and made a fortune on Wall Street. The crash of
’29 hit me hard—almost knocked me all the way down to the
street. There was no way I could rejoin the legit world, so I
formed the gang. Together, we put the hurt on some fat cats
and slowly but surely I’ve been getting back the fortune I lost.
“Brooklyn” Betty Charles
Betty is our newest member;
she has a crush on me, I’m sure
of it. I can’t say I don’t give some
of that back—she’s quite a looker.
Betty grew up in a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn, then her mother
sent her to her aunt and uncle’s
in Minnesota. That’s where she
learned how to y her uncle’s crop
dusting plane. After a stint as a
wing walker in the circus, Betty
left to become a commercial pilot,
which is when I met her. I could
tell she was longing for adventure,
so I offered her a position in the
Fortune Hunters.
Big John
Big John is a natural pilot, and
even better, a trustworthy friend.
He’s a gentle giant, but he grew up
in a tough world and is nobody’s
fool. He honed his skills rst with
the Rangers in Texas; now he tends
to identify with the underdog in
any situation. He’s a man of few
words: Some think that makes him
mysterious; I think he just does his
talking with his ying.

Dr. Fassenbiender
Dr. Fassenbiender is a scientist
who was forced to work on rocket
planes for those bloody fascists in
Europe during the war. His refusal
to develop new technology for
them eventually landed him in
the German POW camp where
we met. We became fast friends,
and hooked up again after we
had eventually found our separate
ways back to North America. He
resumed his work—this time on
new technology for the Fortune
Hunters. His best development is a
new fuel injection system, which promises to make our planes
more powerful and ef cient. I can’t wait to use it to soup up
my Devastator.
Jokers to Watch Out For
These are just a few folks to watch out for...
Jonathan “Genghis” Kahn
Kahn used to be a friend—now
he stands in the way of what
the Fortune Hunters want. He’s
Chicago’s kingpin, and heads up
our rivals, the Red Skull Legion.
He stops at nothing to get what he
wants. I’ve heard rumors that he’s
hiding a huge zep right in Chicago
somewhere, and his thugs are just
waiting to take us all out. I have a
feeling we’re not done with each
other... yet.
Louis “Wild Card” Thibodeaux
Thibodeaux is a complex man
guided by one force: the urge to
become very rich, even richer than
me. We’re alike in that we know the
quickest way to it: air piracy. That’s
why he formed yet another rival airpirate gang, the Ragin’ Cajuns. To his
friends, Thibodeaux is a calculating
mastermind of the Big Plan. To his
enemies, he’s a deadly and merciless
adversary. Thibodeaux began his
career as a gambler in the Louisiana
bayou and has proven himself to be
extraordinarily good at it, even today.
He’s also the luckiest man I’ve ever met—he can draw just the
right card at the right time, which is how he got his call sign
“Wild Card.” Thibodeaux even became the leader of the Ragin’
Cajuns through shrewd gambling and complete luck. Now he’s
busily occupied with smuggling, bootlegging, and straight-up
piracy.
Maria “Bloody Mar y” Sanchez
The raven-haired beauty Maria
is a complete mystery. All we
know is that she owns a repair
shop out in the Arixo desert. She’s
an incurable thrill seeker and not
above using her looks to get what
she wants. She’s known to live a
dangerous, reckless life. I wouldn’t
mind getting a little reckless with
her myself. But she’s nobody’s fool;
I’d have to earn her respect—I’m not
used to that! Heck, it’d probably do
me good, though.

Our Mission
Our mission as Fortune Hunters started out pretty simple:
Get back the loot we lost. But then things started getting crazy
and now I’m just trying to make things right. I mean, a person
can only take so much before the need for revenge takes over.
This is where you come in—you can help us. Here are some
things you can do:
Steal planes
Blow away rivals with an anti-aircraft gun
Rob some of those tasty big zeps hovering everywhere
Remember, everything comes with a price. The harder we
try to capture the loot, the more enemies show up. Fly a fast
plane, need frequent repairs. Lose touch with comrades, and
be forced to go it alone. That’s why we have a home base.
Rethink, Reload
Pandora is what we call home. This is where we retreat to
swap planes, swap stories, take a breather. It’s where I go to
gure out what to do next. I can always count on Pandora as a
place where I can…

Where to Find Loot
Air pirates know all the best places to nd riches to take
and resources to plunder. Here are the areas where we operate,
and here’s what I know about them.
Sea Haven
This gem is in the Nation of Hollywood. It’s a beautiful place
to moor a boat, and a lot of rich people come and go. Take a
look at the lush landscape, and the beautiful waves lapping up
on the beach...
So of course Sea Haven’s a juicy target for pirates and other
thugs. And look for those cargo and passenger zeps passing
through. Take this down; you’ve got to know a few other things
about Sea Haven...
Pirates
I’m always running into some of the Ragin’ Cajuns, or other
louts like them. They think nothing of harassing innocent businessmen. Or lifting cargo that’s not theirs. (Hey, it’s different
when I do it. Finders keepers.) So keep your wits about you—
look for loot and who you might have to ght for it! Either you’ll
escape with the goods, or you’ll earn some cold, hard cash.
AA guns
All those pirates, all that loot. Some of that loot has to be
protected, some has to be pilfered. You might nd it, well,
advantageous, to man an anti-aircraft gun to shoot away your
rivals. So look around Sea Haven for the AA guns. (
Hint: Some
are high in the mountains; some are down oating on the
water.)
Service stations
Even planes need a little
R&R. If you’ve got the cash,
stop in at your friendly local
service station. You can get xed
up in no time, and be ready to
take on the world again.
You’ll nd the Sea Haven
service station down in the basin,
inside the mountains.
Zeppelins
Whether it’s our own Pandora or some other behemoth in
the sky, big zeps get my attention. I like to circle around them,
because you can always nd something useful. You’ll see what
I mean.
Stationary targets
Those Ragin’ Cajuns are a crafty bunch. They even have
guard towers, where they can keep an eye on intruders. Who
do they think they are, anyway?
Well, with a well-placed shot or two, I can take out those
targets. Whether it’s in Sea Haven or somewhere else, you
have to be ready for those silent, deadly structures.
Volcanoes
What would a paradise be without some ery volcanic
action? And what do you suppose we might nd underneath
that hot magma?
Take note, my fellow pirate. Life is full of opportunities
and challenges. Wherever you are—mountains, desert, sea, or
sky—keep a lookout for your friends and enemies. How you get
the job done is up to you, and the tools you choose.

Arixo
Arixo is the nation that used to be Arizona and New
Mexico. Run by the Arixo Indians, it’s in a tight spot politically
and literally, sandwiched between the Republic of Texas and
the nation of Utah. Arixo is a favorite for pirate gangs because
there are lots of places to hide out. You can enjoy some peace
and quiet—while planning your next move. Rumor is there’s
more in the ground than worms.
Chicago
Chicago, in the Industrial States of America, is a hopping
town, packed with skyscrapers, planes, and elevated trains.
It’s more hazardous to y through the streets of Chicago than it
is to weave through the canyons of Arixo.
Lost City
Not much is known about this place, but we have learned
that it’s another treacherous stretch of land. Large tunnels
were part of some lost city, and they’re big enough to y
through—even get lost in.

Planes
Seems like everyone in North America ies now. With no
roads and no railways, planes are the best way to get around,
especially from one nation to another.
Every pirate gang, militia, and nation tends to favor one
plane over another. The Red Skull Legion likes the Brigand,
the Nation of Hollywood ies the Firebrand, the Navajo go for
the Fury and the Desert Fox. If you see one of these planes in
the sky, you can guess who’s at the controls.
There are three types of aircraft out there: dog ghters, interceptors, and zep-killers. Each type does a speci c job really
well, and you’ve got a lot of models to choose from. Here’s my
basic advice on the planes. They’re not all here, but you get
the general idea. You’ll have to discover more as you y.
Dogfighters
My Fortune Hunters prefer these planes for aerial combat.
They’re great for mixing it up with the bad guys. Dog ghter
planes are good all-purpose aircraft. As you get to be a better
pirate, you’ll have more dog ghting planes to y. These are
just a taste.
Devastator
My Devastator is a
ghter-bomber manufactured by Hughes Aviation,
and it was a radical
design when it came out
in 1932. Its propeller is
at the back of the plane
(called a “pusher”) and its
elevators are located at
the front. It doesn’t have a
tail, so it uses rudders, located
under the wings instead, to help crank it around in turns.
Looks weird but ies great.
Primary weapon: Four machine guns
Secondary weapon: Magnetic rockets
Characteristics of Dogfighters

Devastator
Good Good Good Great all-purpose ghter bomber. Equipped for
primary & secondary
weapons only.
Characteristics of Interceptors

Desert Fox
Excellent Fair Good Fast, fast, fast!
Goes fast, but turns slow.
Characteristics of Zep-Killers
Plane Speed Agility Firepower Strengths / Weaknesses
Brigand Fair Fair Excellent Guns in front and back
make this plane double the
trouble! If you’re ghting
with a Brigand, watch out
for those guns!
Interceptors
The fastest planes in the sky. May lose a bit in repower and
maneuverability, but they make up for it in speed.
Desert Fox
The Desert Fox is both fast
and heavily armed. It can
skim across the dunes at
lightning speed, so you
can take out opponents
before they know what’s
hit ‘em.
Primary weapon: Four machine guns
Secondary weapon: Mini-rockets
Page 10

Zep-Killers
These babies are the heavy iron. They might not move
very fast or turn very sharp, but let me tell you, zep-killers
are nearly impossible to bring down, and they’re loaded with
repower. They really bag those zeppelins.
Brigand
The Brigand is very
popular because of its reliability and rugged construction. It’s small but heavy
and well-built. Guns in front
and a turret in back make
chasing Brigands a bit of a
problem. If you’re chasing
one, just keep yourself at the
Brigand’s 5 o’clock position,
and you’ll do OK. If you’re ying one, those big guns in the
back give you an advantage.
Primary weapon: Quad cannons
Secondary weapon: Concussion rocket
Specialty Planes
Some planes defy categorization because of their specialized functions. Here are two of my favorites.
Mini-Gyro
These little guys are more of a
threat than most pirates give them
credit for. Their repower is weak,
but they can turn on a dime.
They’re slow, so they‘re easy
to catch, but once you catch
a mini-gyro, it’s tough to
get a good aim on it. It’s got great
sniper capabilities, too. While you’re trying to
get a bead, it’ll y around you in circles, nickel-and-diming
you to death. But if you can get your guns on one, it falls
apart after a few good shots.
Primary weapon: Twin machine guns
Secondary weapon: Sniper cannon
Seaplane
The Seaplane is a versatile
machine—Thibodeaux likes it. It’s
really handy for water operations,
like boarding ships or taking out
coastal guards. The Seaplane
is rugged enough for the high
seas, but nimble enough to
engage in some air-to-air
combat, too. And, it’s been
known to down a Zep or two…
Primary weapon: Twin cannons
Secondary weapon: Triple missile
But What About the Other Planes?!
In the course of a quest, you’ll nd you can upgrade your
plane, or nd other aircraft to um... liberate.
Stealing a plane’s pretty easy. Look around for a
blinking icon of an airplane parked somewhere. Fly
close enough to the plane, press the X button, and
jump into your new ride!
Upgrading is pretty easy, too. Look for the upgrade
tokens (you see ‘em everywhere), or get them awarded
to you for completing missions. Take those tokens
and your cash to the Pandora, and buy yourself an
upgraded plane.

How to Fly
All of my Fortune Hunters are expert aviators—you’ve gotta
be when you y at high speeds through canyon gaps no wider
than a doorway. But it’s really instinct that makes a great pilot.
Controlling the plane is easy: Just steer where you want to
go, and you’re there. You can also speed up for a short time
by pressing the Y button, or slow it down with air brakes by
pressing the B button. If bad guys are bearing down on you, try
some special moves (see how below). That’s all there is to it.
You still need the guts to sit in the cockpit and take the big risks
for big money—but that’s what being a pirate is all about.
Showing Off with Special Moves
So, you want to y with the best? Try some special moves.
Pull off death-defying rolls, the famous Immelmann, and other
tricks designed to get you out of trouble. Just click the Right
thumbstick, then move it to one side or the other. You’ll get a
different move depending on the combination. Go ahead, give
it a try!
Quick Tips
• In a dog ght, press B to make a tighter turn. But don’t sit
on the brakes! Tap B once or twice, and then zero in.
• If the enemy is behind you, slam out an Immelmann
to turn around on him. (Click and move your right
thumbstick.)
• Don’t be afraid to roll your airplane to get through tight
spots, like canyons, in between buildings, or around other
airplanes. Use the Right thumbstick to roll your plane.

tuned up.
Secondary Weapons
No pirate is satis ed with a stock plane. You have to soup it
up. Luckily, Dr. Fassenbiender developed something very tasty:
Each plane has its own, unique secondary weapon. Find out
all its characteristics when you choose your plane. Don’t have
enough ammo? There are balloons suspended in out-of-theway areas, with crates dangling from them. Fly to one and your
ammo increases automatically. You can tell what a secondary
weapon does by its shape and color. Each one can only be used
a few times, so we’ve learned to use ’em carefully.
Fireball cannon Burns enemy planes with a big blast
of re. The enemy plane catches re and burns for a few
seconds, causing damage.
Tesla Cannon A sneaky weapon that shoots an arc of
electricity, which latches onto a plane, overloading its
electrical system and causing damage.
Rocket Swarm
A small bunch of tiny rockets that can
damage several enemy planes at once (if your aim is
good enough).
Concussion Rockets Not terribly maneuverable, but
they have a powerful warhead capable of damaging
multiple targets in one huge explosion.
Re-arm Boost your ammo by ying into this icon.

AA Gun
Sometimes the best weapon for the job isn’t on your plane
at all. It’s on the ground, in the form of a big ol’ powerful antiaircraft gun. AA guns are great for holding position and taking
care of enemy airplanes. You can control some guns; other
guns just shoot at you when you’re in the air.

Dog ght: It’s a free-for-all battle for the skies! If you
shoot someone down, you get a point, but if you plow into
the ground, you lose a point. The player to hit the point limit
rst—or with the most points at the end of the time limit—wins!
Team Dog ght: Shoot down the enemy pilots, but be
careful you don’t shoot your buddies in the back! If you shoot
an enemy down, you get a point for the team, but if you
commit suicide or shoot down a teammate, you lose a point.
The team to hit the point limit rst—or with more points at the
end of the time limit—wins!
Page 15
26
27
Flag Heist: Capture the enemy team’s ag and return it to
your base—capturing the enemy ag is the only way to score.
First team to hit the point limit or with more points at the end
of the time limit wins!
Keep Away:
Grab the artifact you want and the clock starts
ticking, but watch out—everyone else wants it, too! Every
second you have the artifact, you accumulate time. If your total
time hits the required time limit, or if you have the most time
at the end of the game’s time limit, you win!
Team Accumulate:
Grab the artifact you want for your
team and the team clock starts ticking, and this time you’ve
got your friends to protect you! If your team’s combined time
hits the required time limit or if your team has accumulated the
most time at the end of the time limit, you win!
Wild Chicken: There’s a wild chicken on the loose, and
you’ve got to get it! Why? Because the other team wants it too,
that’s why! Shoot down planes from the other team for points,
or capture the chicken for big points! Get that bird by running
into it and returning it to your base. The team with the most
points at the end of game time wins the game!
Where to Fly
You can’t just y off into the wild blue yonder without a
clue—or a map. There’s a map for every nation-state you’ll
y into, and once there, you and your pals will nd lots to do!
Here are some suggestions…
Sea Haven
Fly around the giant caldera surrounded by smaller islands
during a moonlit night.
Recommended game: Wild Chicken!
Arixo
A giant winged statue dominates the landscape in this large
map marked by deep and intertwined canyons.
Recommended game: Dog ghting!
Lost City
Fly inside the massive caverns of the Lost City, where you’ll
nd giant statues, dinosaur bones, carved heads, lost temples,
and secret passageways.
Recommended game: Flag Heist!
Chicago
Fly among and through the skyscrapers; keep an eye
behind you for enemies, but keep the other eye out front so you
don’t y straight into a wall!
Recommended game: Keep Away!
Windy City
It’s a dark and stormy night—and you’re ying right
through it. Watch out for thick fog, enemy bullets, and the freak
lightning bolt!
Recommended game: Flag Heist!
Take Off!
Consider yourself pre- ighted and ready for takeoff. You’re
gonna love being an air pirate! Just keep your eyes peeled,
your guns ready, and your airplane in sharp condition. Don’t be
shy about visiting the Pandora or the service station if you need
some help or advice. The adventure is just beginning…
