   This is rather unusual mixture of
militants and the simulator. Action
occurs on the asteroid, which produces valuable explosive - 
DETONITE. Suddenly attacked by an unknown asteroid spaceship 
landed fighting robots. They immediately began to destroy the 
rig. To stop the enemies and clear them asteroid Command 
commanders to a conflict for you. In the order you have been 
isolated either tank, or skimmer, armed with a set of two 
lasers (for shooting air and ground targets).

Fuel for the batteries of the laser is DETONITE, it allows you 
to charge weapons, using resource asteroid.


   The entire asteroid is divided into 6
zones. You must destroy all
robots in each zone, and teleport to the next.

   After the game starts immediately
press I. In this case you
get into the menu where you can change the management and see
All the function keys. Exit from any menu - SPACE.
Exit from the main menu - 4.

   Now it is time to consider the game screen.

   In the upper left corner shows you the number of available
Fuel & Supplies DETONITE. If
You are out of fuel, you can immediately restart the game
(Feature 5 in the menu). If the end DETONITE, then you stop 
shooting. The letter next to rates of fuel and DETONITE

indicates the mode of laser operation (M
- Aerial targets, G - Ground).
Just below the game screen shows your horizontal and vertical 
coordinates. The right is a strip of indicator energy, and more 
to the right - light transmission levels (six vertically 
arranged squares). To the left of the game screen shows the 
number of lives (Six small rectangles) and a number of areas - 
from 0 7. The middle, above the playing window is a small 
monitorchik - an indicator approach missiles. In the upper 
right corner is the radar.



   On the asteroid are four types of objects:

   - FUEL MINING OPERATION - plant generating fuel. Spent fuel 
can pick up by moving the target on the plant

and pressing B.


   - DETONITE MINING OPERATION -
Station mining DETONITE (his
You too can pick up).


   - TERRORPOD LEG N FACTORY -
Factory Research terrorpodov (robots). To get
the ability to teleport to
the next zone, you must use the B button factory, gained 100% 
research. The square that corresponds to the zone where you are,

flashes. If not, then you are either destroyed
not all terrorpodov or
collected insufficient DETONITE (information about the cause of 
failure appears in a special window at the bottom of the game 
screen). 


   - RADAR BEACON - a radar installation, providing the work
radar in that part of the zone, where it
located, as well as serving to
teleport to another area.

   All it would not be so difficult
if you do not have to constantly flying missiles, which when 
hit relieve a lifetime. From these You can dodge missiles, but

You can knock them. For this
switch to the W key on the air and shoot a little laser
right image rockets. For
Switching back to destroy ground targets lower sight below the 
horizon level. When Thus you, though, will come into motion 
(it's something to me the most and do not like missiles).


   The second danger for you are the enemy terrorpody.
Kill you - for them more
important than the destruction of
buildings. When injected into the robot, he turns into a pile 
of rubble, but this does not mean that you destroy it. 
Terrorpod has the ability to regenerate. Point to the remains 
of the robot, you'll see how it is deactivated (in percent). 
You must bring the percentage of deactivation to 100, shooting 
on the fragments. Only then robot will be completely destroyed.


   To rebuild their shattered
terrorpodami buildings can, point to their fragments and 
pressing R. But be careful - do not restore mistakenly enemy 
robots. 

   Press the M mode is
card. In this mode, you can move, but, although
Movement on the map much faster and clearer, I would not advise 
you to do this. The point that the fuel is spent moving many 
times more.



   In my opinion, the most difficult
zone in the game is the first,
because of the lack of fuel and
DETONITE you have to hunt for alternate terrorpodami with the 
campaigns of resources. At the same time charges to the laser 
can result in the worst possible moment (when you are almost 
finished off robot) and there is always the risk of not

run to the nearest gas station
fuel. If you're still
will destroy all terrorpodov in the first zone, not in a hurry
teleport to the next.
Wait a little longer, knocking the rocket flying up, and wait 
until the plants do not accumulate a maximum of resources. Then 
the "stroll" in the area, collecting all the resources

are possible (not
map mode). Do this several times until you earn
decent capacity (20-25 thousand of fuel and DETONITE). Now
passage of all other zones
will be to find a fast (in map view) and
destroying enemy robots and
Waiting until one of the factories
TERRORPOD LEG attains 100%.

   At the end of the game you will receive a congratulatory 
message of the victory and the game starts again.


   Attention! In any case not
pressed to the bottom of the chart (the vertical coordinate is 
zero), since when the lower edge of a rocket you lose a life 
(no matter how great the difference is your horizontal 
coordinates).
