GAME STORY:

It is the year 2173. Planet Earth was full of peace and hope, until
one day - while everybody was fast asleep in bed, snoozin' away,
dreaming of good things. Aliens hovered above the towns and cities
searching for a good source for an invasion. The humble tomato. 
The very next day, everybody woke up to hear on the radio that an
unexpected series of objects are floating above the city. Scientists
looked above their telescopes noticing that it is a tomato. When saw
tomatoes floating above the sky. They found it to be hilarious.
Unfortunately, what they thought were hilarious, turned into horror.
One of the tomatoes swooped down, and sucked a victim. The city was
turned into turmoil. People panicked and they started running for 
their lives. Some of which were just too dumb to even enter back
to their flat and office buildings. 

The president called for help, and thankfully help comes at hand, by
a world's famous heroic leader in the technology market, and Skyship
industry ... YOU ... That's right, you are the chosen one.

PLAYING THE GAME:

Use a joystick plugged into port 2.

Your mission is to pilot your Skyship through the towns of cities,
which are infested with deadly mutant tomatoes. Blast your mega
double laser beams at 'em. They are the main cause for chaos. Luckily
for you that's your only mission ... Or is it?

Seriously not. Your mission is to travel all the way across several
towns and cities, and countryside. Not only do you have to shoot the
tomatoes, but you also have to rescue the people who are stranded 
on top of buildings or elsewhere. Simply pick them up in the right
place, but DO NOT CRASH INTO MOUNTAINS, BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES or any
other background. (Light houses you will go past).

At the end of your journey, blasting through the small tomatoes. You
will end up facing the final ordeal by fighting against the MEGA
TOMATO. This evil guardian requires 50 shots before it gets destroyed.
Those tomatoes will try their best to destroy your space craft if
they get near to you - or you get near to them.

Can you save the world from complete fruity chaos, or will the Mega
Tomato dominate this planet?. ... I say good luck pilot. Get blasting.
