| Hi! I have this game also, for over a year, and the same story here,
I can't figure it out....doesn't make sense, especially if you don't
know what the objective of the game is...
Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Annie! Wow, somebody else *has* heard of this game...I was
beginning to wonder!
We have figured out a very little bit.
When you begin, there is a Grid map on the left of your screen. It has
some configuration of A's, B's, 1's and 2's. You will see your ship
represented there, too. I do not know what most of that means, but
have discovered this: If you go to the 1's or the 2, you will
encounter enemy ships (either 1 or 2...get it?).
Rotate the ship and move forward (UP and B held down provide a "warp"
speed) until you are on the designated number. Turning is either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
ONce you're there, notice the two "radar" screens at the far lower
right. These show you where you are in relation to the enemy ship.
That is, if it appears to be above you, move up, which on our control
is the DOWN button...go figure. Also, down is UP. VERY hard to get
used to, but basically, you want to center the enemy ship on those
screens.
Now the bottom middle screen, adjacent to the two radar
screens, shows you which direction the enemy is approaching from. Turn
your ship toward it on that screen, being careful to stay centered by
using the two radar screens. If it disappears, check the Grid
map...you are no longer on the target.
Still with me? If you are on right square on the GRid map, have the
ship centered on the radar screens, AND are facing the ship on the
bottom middle screen, you *should* see a huge ship attacking you on the
large main screen. FIRE! Lasers seem to be most effective, but you
will run out of weapons quickly if you just randomly shoot.
THe statistics readout says Enemies...4. As you kill the ships, the
number decreases. Each hit you take is shown on a bar below the bottom
middle screen. GOOD LUCK!!
So far, that's it. I've managed to eliminate all 4 enemies. At this
point, you get a message that says "SECTOR SECURE. PROCEED TO ENEMY
BASE." A new "B" lights up on the Grid map. When I get to it, it's a
large, elusive ball, and nothing seems to affect it. I usually run out
of weapons, or time, or energy.
Hope this is helpful. WISH I COULD GET FURTHER!! The marketing blurb
on the box indicates that all the real action is inside the enemy base,
but I sure as h*ll can't figure out how to get in there.
Bleah to games with no instructions and NO HELP IN NOTES!!! :)
See ya!

| Hi, Anita!!!
YES! I felt the same way when I saw your note posted here!
Thanks for the tips...I have managed now to get to the point you have
explained...the base...and yes, you are right, I have NO IDEA how to
get inside of the BASE!
Do you think that only you and I (both named the same) bought this
game? hahahaha
Keep me posted on your progress...I will try to do the same...but,
it could probably take me some years to figure this one out.
Hope to hear from you soon.
