Cosmic Battlezones

1. Lunar Jetman
   I can't hold her... She's breaking up... She's breaking up!! ... Crackle ...
   
   After Jetman's poorly assembled multi-stage rocket started to disintegrate in warp space, he manages to crash land on a strange undiscovered world, inhabited by hundreds of restless aliens intent on the total destruction of the planet Earth.
   
   Desperate to regain lost minerals, the aliens initialise their ancient attack mechanisms.
   
   With no hope of help from the nearby and unaware Earth, Jetman has to destroy all of the installations single-handed before the imminent destruction of his home planet. Using only his Hyperglide Moon Rover to carry the strange equipment and supply Bridging units, with any other equipment he can find to complete his mission.
   
   Pity he can't find the operation minerals!
2. Jetpac
   The Acme Interstellar Transport Company is delivering Spaceship Kits to various planets in the solar systems throughout the Galaxy; and a chief test pilot, all you have to do is assemble the Rockets, and thrust onto your next destination. But, as you don't often get the chance of a free trip across the Galaxy and space travel is, oh so expensive, now is your chance to get rich. You might just as well stop off on several planets on your journey, collect the odd sack o precious gems, elements or gold and take them back with you.
   
   Sounds simple, doesn't it?
   
   But! Before you go and make yourself the richest person in the whole Universe, you must remember to refuel your Spaceship, every time you land on a planet, with six fuel pods. Any other goodies you collect are tours to keep. Upon landing, you will find yourself equipped with the very latest Hydrovac. Jetpac, which can automatically air lift almost any rocket stage, fuel pod or valuables you care to land upon, and release them over the rocketship base, plus mega powerful, Quad Photon Laser Phasers, to blast any nasty, mean, little aliens who might object to your visit.
3. Alien 8
   Long long ago ... in a distant galaxy on a distant dying planet, the last of the guardians prepare their starship for its final journey. All of the libraries, records and knowledge have been stored aboard the vessel, along with the very best of their cryogenically preserved race.
   
   The planet's final end draws near as the last, most vital piece of equipment is loaded aboard, activated and the hatchways closed. The Ultimate evolution Alien 8 cybot whirrs into an artificial cybernetic rush of intelligence.
   
   All hatchways are scaled, as the starship prepares for its long uninterrupted journey into the inky void of space.

Lunar Jetman

I can't hold her... She's breaking up... She's breaking up!!... Crackle...

After Jetman's poorly assembled multi-stage rocket started to disintegrate in warp space, he manages to crash land on a strange undiscovered world, inhabited by hundreds of restless aliens intent on the total destruction of the planet Earth. Desperate to regain the lost minerals, the aliens initialise their ancient attack mechanisms. All around, huge missile installations erupt from deep within the bounds of the planet, surrounded by their own strategic defence stations.

Their huge lioleum shelled missiles glisten in the distant sunlight as the multitronic warheads Auto-arm and poise for attack. With no hope of help from the nearby and unaware Earth, Jetman has to destroy all of the installations single-handed before the imminent destruction of his home planet. Using only his Hyperglide Moon Rover to carry the strange equipment and supply Bridging units, with any other equipment he can find to complete his mission.

Pity he can't find the operation manuals!

Alien 8

The Planet

Long long ago... in a distant galaxy, on a distant dying planet, the last of the guardians prepare their starship for its final journey. All of the libraries, records and knowledge have been stored aboard the vessel, along with the very best of their cryogenically preserved race.

The planet's final end draws near as the last, most vital piece of equipment is loaded abroad, activated, and the hatchways closed. The Ultimate evolution, Alien 8 cybot whirrs into an artificial cybernetic rsh of intelligence.

All hatchways are sealed, as the starship prepares for its long, uninterrupted journey into the inky void of space.

The Journey

Aeons pass and still the Alien 8 unit is functioning perfectly, gliding swiftly and silently around on multi-sealed-thermotion bearings in waxolight shrouds. The very pinnacle of robotic development from a now long dead planet, on its immense task of keeping the cryogenically immersed cryonaughts activated by preseving and maintaining their life support systems and waiting...

The long journey is near completion as the central computer alerts you to the nearing of the predestined solar syste. The dust of aeons lies heavy on the ageing data banks of the central computing core, tired from centuries of repetitive computing and recomputing, at last activating the final sequential landing operations.

The craft begins its final slowing sequence several hundred light years from the destined planet and as, almost immediately the starship slows to sub-hyperwarp speeds, is open to attack. All the starship main defence systems have remained unactivated, as the reverse polarity negative-ion thrusters battle and strain to halt the enormous bulk of the ship.

The main computer reports Alien penetration in almost all areas of the ship and all life support systems have become damaged and deactivated. All cryogenic systems must be reactivated before autophase thrusting systems manoeuvre the ship into its semi-cyclic planetary orbit, at 0 light years from the planet.

Your programming insists that you complete the mission and restore all cryogenic life support systems to operation.

The Starship

1. The starship is at risk to Alien instruction at lower than hyper-warp speeds. As lesser beings have not yet developed the mental ability to contemplate travel at this speed, hyper-warp is relatively safe and untroubled. Once the starship's speed falls below hyper-warp speed; upon its approach, at several hundred light years from the planet, it will become vulnerable to attack and Alien intrusion.
2. Once the starship has slowed down into sub-hyper-warp speeds, and enters semi-cyclic orbit the ship will not have enough fuel to enable a recovery to be made.
3. The starship is equipped with indestructable multi-control directional robodroids.

Alien 8 Programming

1. All cryonaughts must remain activated.
2. Locate and recover all thermolec valves and Alien 8 replacement packs.
3. Ensure all thermolec valves are in the currect sockets, to ensure continuing activation.
4. Locate and activate all cryogenic chambers.
5. All cryonaughts must remain activated prior to the planet being reached, for them to effect the final landing sequence.
6. You have been issued with five initial replacement packs, other packs may be located throughout the starship. These will prolong your existence upon damage by collisions, etc.

Failure to complete any of the above will mean: that you have not fulfilled your programming, and you may be subect to re-programming. Should you fail to fulfil your programming then the ship and all cryonaughts will be lost.
