Notes
-----
* You can't collect a floating man when invincibility is turned on. Turn is off using '7' to collect the floating man.

*2 You can use this to get out of sticky situations, or when you have collected a crew member from the ship and want to teleport straight to safety :)

*3 You're only allowed two on the screen at one time.

*4 This will only work if you have the "Let Aliens exit ship" selected

Remember - the original game is always there and you don't have to press anything if you don't want any of the features - which is a little different than the usual trainers that only give you options before it decrunches and then you are stuck with your decisions. More accessibility for the player and much more fun overall :)


The story
---------
A rading party from the Rallom Empire has taken over one of Earth's far flung space stations.

The only Earth craft in the vicinity is an out dated Cosmic Cruiser... and you are the pilot.

A priority signal sends you on what could turn out to be a suicidal mission. You have been ordered to save the space station crew at all costs. As you hurtle toward your destiny, a daring plan forms in your mind. The only chance you have is to use your exterior laser cannon to blast open the station portals, then by making use of your body propulsion unit you will have to pluck the crewmen from the station and transport them back to your Cruiser.

Your plan requires split-second timing and nerves of steel. As you transport your ward back to the Cruiser you must make snap decisions, if you use your hand laser the blast will blow the crewmen into space, can you get back to your laser cannon in time to blast the Rallom fighters or will you have to secure the rescued crewmen to a nearby satellite to allow you to move more quickly.

You see the space station in the distance, the adrenalin pumps through your body... will you succeed.


Aim of the game
---------------
By using your external mounted laser cannon you must blast away the portals of the revolving space station to gain access to your imprisoned buddies, but beware, not all the portals contain imprisoned crewmen, some are manned by Rallom warriors.

Sometime after your rescue mission commences added dangers in the form of Rallom Fighters arrive to bomb you with alarming accuracy; this hostile action makes your task infinitely more dangerous and difficult.


Start of the game
-----------------
You may select which method of control you prefer to use, either Joystick or keyboard. Once your selection has been made the game will begin.


Game begins
-----------
Your first priority is to get to your laser cannon, mounted on top of the right hand side of the cruiser. As you pass over the cannon you will lock-on to the gun automatically, using your 'left' and 'right' controls you can guide the direction of your cannon.

To rescue the crewmen you must blast away the portals on the revolving outer rim of the space station.

Once a portal has been opened you may enter the space station through it to see if there is an imprisoned crewman within. You will have to kill all the alien warriors inside before you can get out again.

Now that you have a crewman you must transport him to the open hatch on the top left hand side of your battle cruiser. Be careful to avoid touching one of the floating satellites as the crewmen will be knocked away from you.

The alien warriors who were guarding the crewman being to come after you in an attempt to kill you and re-capture the crewman.

You must destroy the alien warriors by using either your hand gun or the laser cannon. If you fire your hand gun while carrying a crewman he will float away from you and become very vulnerable to marauding aliens.


Play notes
----------
THE SPACEMAN: Can move in any direction on the screen by using the keyboard or joystick. He carries with him a laser pistol at all times.

CREWMAN: They can be collected from open hatchways. As you pass over him he will automatically attach himself to you. If he drifts away because you have bumped into a satellite or have fired your hand gun, he can be retrieved by going after him and bumping into him again.

ALIEN WARRIORS: Emerge from hatchways in the space station, once out they immediately head for the hero and crewman, if they make contact with either they will transport them back to the space station. If the hero is taken back you lose a life. The alien can be destroyed by either your hand laser or the laser cannon.
