Credit: Scan "Metrocross.pdf" in the Internet Archive collection item "AtariSTManuals_201812"; the pin is that file's OCR, as DjVu XML.
Notes: The Atari ST inlay's instructions, in English and Italian. The OCR of the scan is poor (it reads "74 levels" in the English text where the Italian has "24"). The sheet carries no date of its own; 1987 is the year of U.S. Gold's conversions.

The Atari ST instructions call the game the home computer version of the coin-op, trademark and copyright 1985 Namco. They give keys for up, down, left, right, jump, reset and pause, with a joystick option; blue cans score 100 to 5,000 points when kicked and stop the timer for two seconds when jumped on; green cans double the runner's speed; and points come at 50 for every three squares, 2,000 for swapping skateboards, and 1,000 for skating through the bridge.	`image 1, cover sheetimage 2, English instructionsimage 2, Keyboard controlsimage 2, Keyboard controlsimage 2, Keyboard controlsimage 2, Blue cansimage 2, Green cansimage 2, Scoringimage 2, Scoringimage 2, Scoringimage 2, Italian instructions`	Manual
