Introduction
The year is 2673 AD and the galaxy is under seige by aliens from the planet Gorfia. Your mission is to blast your way through wave upon wave of oncoming aliens, surviving long enough to take on and destroy the nerve centre of the alien attack - the Mothership! To do this, you have been given command of the most advanced space fighter in the Universe - the Ultron! But you'll still need lightning reflexes to rise in the ranks from Cadet up to Space Master!
The year is 2673 AD and the galaxy is once more under seige from aliens of the planet Gorfia. Your mission is to destroy the oncoming convoys with speed, skill and dexterity. This time the invaders are more sophisticated and much more determined to eradicate you. But you have the most powerful craft in the universe - the Ultron.
You begin your mission as a Cadet, but may rise through the ranks and become the ultimate Space Master. There are eight ranks to go through and then it gets even harder. Four screens go together to make up one wave. The screens are...
| Space Swarmers | - | Swarming mutants who release hordes of homing missiles. Worth 30 points. |
| Galactic Imps | - | Approaching infantry whose sole aim is to infiltrate your defences. 50 points. |
| Space Warp | - | Aliens that loom out in 3D distracting you with the aim of disintegrating your craft. 100 points. |
| Mothership | - | Blast the aliens' supreme commander, situated in the nerve centre of the Mothership. 200 points. |
Occasionally, a reconnaissance ship will fly past over the scene, dropping missiles. The points for hitting the ship are randomly either 250 or 500 points.
