Memlog Hunter.9/thmw1:

'Neat, my little ship. Good name: Hunter. Small and nifty, and it
packs some punchy fire power. I'm damned well going to need it, aren't
I. Got a little carried away putting Hunter through its paces. Never
took that Black Hole seriously enough. Warped me straight here, or
where?

'All I can see are endless crystal constructions, hive-like cities in
space surrounding what look like starcells. On-board comp they control
those blobs which seem to endlessly reconstruct the cities... Oh, yes,
I've had a quick exploratory foray into the nearest hive. It was
quick, because some of those blobs shoot back. Any damage I caused is
repaired already, and the hive sits there gleaming and glistening like
new.'

'On-board comp tells me that the only way home is to take on each and
every one of these crystal cities. Some hope! But then, do I want to
get back? Hell, I can't just sit here, admiring the view, can I? They
don't call me psychoblaster for nothing-I'd better prove them
right...'

INSTRUCTIONS

Hunter's Moon is divided into 16 star systems, each with a number of
levels.  To finish each level, you must collect all Starcells (visible
on radar).  Energy from them gives temporary immunity from Spores
launched by defending Cells. Single White Worker Cells will repair the
cities but cannot be destroyed. When all levels within the current
star map have been finished, you automatically enter the Bonus Game.
Here you will gain a Perma-shield, and will be awarded an extra craft
if you can destroy all eight workers.  Perma-shields are selected from
the main menu and shield you from Spores for the duration of that
level.

When you enter a level, one Starcell will be flashing (on radar only).
If you collect this one before the Status Symbol counts down to zero
you will gain one co-ordinate for Loopspace. When you have either
completed the system or gained all four co-ordinates you will enter
the Bonus Game. This allows experienced players to skip levels.
