Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 102)

First, you must bounce the Yar against the left side of the screen to make the Zorlon Cannon appear.
Also, to make the cannon appear, you need five TRONS. TRONS are units of energy which you can collect
at the following rate:
1. Eat a cell from the shield: 1 TRON
2. Touch the Qotile: 2 TRONS
3. Catch a Zorlon Cannon shot after it bounces off the shield: 4 TRONS
If a Yar bounces of the left side with less than five TRONS, it will not get a shot, but it won't lose the
TRONS it has, either. (Each time a Yar is destroyed, it loses its TRONS). Each Yar has a capacity of 255
TRONS. If a Yar tries to take on more than that, it will short out and the Yar will lose all its TRONS. The
count of TRONS is not displayed on the screen. Yar scouts understand the count instinctively.
Game 6 is the one-player version of ULTIMATE YARS.
Game 7 is the two-player version.
