INSTRUCTIONS

Playing as either Jake or Duke, you must rescue Professor Sarah

Bellum and the enslaved hostages before they are turned into

Robo-Zombies. Find and break into the food and bomb lockers to

get special weapons to help you destroy the evil Reptilons.



The object of the game is to progress through the factories of

Planet X rescuing the hostages and destroying their Reptilon

guards.  To activate the elevators you encounter, find the power

switch and turn it on. This will allow you to reach the

"Port-O-Matic" and exit the level.



Around the complex of factories you will find lockers that

contain food, extra energy, more bombs or sometimes special

weapons that will increase your chances of survival. When

destroyed, some of the Reptilons will leave behind green crystals

that enhance your "ray power". The more crystals you collect, the

more devastating your weapon will become.



To rescue the hostages simply run into them and they will be

beamed aboard your rescue ship which is orbiting Planet X. Some

of the hostages, however, have been imprisoned in glass cases.

To unlock the cases you must find the computer console that

controls them and destroy it with your ray gun.



Every three levels you will encounter an Evil Reptilon which can

only be destroyed by continuous shooting and bombing. Watch out

- each Reptilon has its own form of defence! At the end of each

factory, you will be shown a bonus screen where you are rewarded

for each freed hostage on that level. If you have rescued a full

shuttle load of hostages you are awarded an extra bar of energy.
