                  SCENARIO
                  Congratulations! 
                  You are now the proud owner of the most mega-advanced super 
                  shootem up game ever for your Commodore 64/128. 
                  (Has it loaded yet? If the answer is yes - skip the next 
                  paragraph.) 
                  It is a very strange universe really - isnt it? All those 
                  millions of planets and moons and stars and comets swirling 
                  about in the vastness of space. Imagine what fun it would be 
                  to explore - to boldly go where no boldly goer had boldly gone 
                  before - unless they happened to live there. 
                  Latest research from the Institute of Advanced Research 
                  (I.A.R.) indicated (...loaded yet???) that there are quite a 
                  lot of planets with things living on them. Some of these 
                  things are pretty intelligent like us really. (God this is 
                  awful!) Other of these things are really stupid, like whelks, 
                  for example. 
                  Anyway, to cut a long story short, you have been selected to 
                  explore the universe, boldly seeking out strange and exciting 
                  new worlds. If you find any, your instructions are quite 
                  clear. 
                  BLAST THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THEM!! 
                  As you set off in your remarkably fast and powerful spacecraft 
                  - your mind is tingling with excitement. Slowly you hurtle at 
                  excessive speeds into the void - blasting a stray comet into a 
                  million shimmering pieces! But whats this (theres more!! 
                  Cmon tape turbo - get on with it!!)??? 
                  Your world is suddenly filled with highly useful objects 
                  floating aimlessly in front of you. Things like missiles, 
                  rotate motors, speed up thrusts (I ask you... is this 
                  likely!), shields and - yep - extra lives. Frantically, you 
                  try to capture them. 
                  But whats this (...Again?)!!! Someone else is also trying to 
                  grab these goodies. His shield is impervious to your laser 
                  bolts. Oh no!! And whats this? Its an enormous and highly 
                  populated planet... 
                  WHAM!!! BLAM!!! KERPOW!!! WOW!!! 
                  Its Mega Apocalypse. 
                  Have fun!!
