Intellivision Productions 10Video - Manual (Page 14)

The sky is falling! You’re the laser battery commander and HERE THEY COME!....an attack of
multicolored meteors with an occasional spinning bomb that will blow up one of your guns if
you let it hit land. To make things more interesting there are some guided missiles and an
attack UFO to dodge. As you score goes higher, so does the excitement!

5. Hit as many rocks as you can…every one that lands reduces your score.
6. Try to hit every white “Spinner”, because when the Spinner hits the ground you will lose one laser gun.
7. The game level will change with every 2,000 points, and is displayed in the lower right hand corner. You will also receive another Lift to fight with.
8. Pulsating guided missiles are trying to seek and destroy your active laser gun to blow it up on impact! Do your best to get underneath it and shoot it
out of the sky. If the missile gets to the ground, sometimes it will hone in on your laser and flying horizontally. If this happens, your only chance of
escape is to go into Hyperspace! (move instantly to another place).
