Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 97)

May the force be with you!
You and your opponent blast off into space. Each player controls one Star Ship with the Joystick
Controller. The object is to score points by shooting your opponent's Star Ship with missiles fired by the
red button on your Joystick Controller. Aim the nose of your Star Ship in the direction you want to fire.
Space War games last ten minutes or until one player scores ten points. Player's scores appear at the top of
the playfield and are color coordinated with the Star Ships. The two lines to the right of your score refer to
fuel and missile supply. The top line is the fuel gauge; the bottom line is the amount of missiles remaining.
Each player begins with eight missiles. Once the arsenal is depleted, the game will automatically reset each
player with eight more missiles ONLY when both players are out of missiles. In most War games, fuel
cannot be resupplied. In games 6 and 7, players can refuel and resupply missiles by docking with the
Starbase. Fuel is used by adding "thrust" to your Star Ship or by putting your Ship into Hyperspace.

SPACE SHUTTLE GAMES
If you have mastered the early games, you are ready to try Space Shuttle. Connect your Star Ship with
the Space Module to score. Recommended strategy is to first match your Star Ship's speed to the Space
Module's speed. Then slowly maneuver your Star Ship towards the Space Module. During Shuttle games
the Star Ships have an unlimited supply of fuel. In one-player games, you control one Star Ship with the
left Joystick Controller and compete against the clock. You have ten minutes to score a maximum ten
