Program by Steve Elward 


YEAR - 303 AA (After Apocalypse)
STAR SYSTEM - XAMA 
SOLAR SYSTEM - GALLETRON

Galletron, the largest and most beautiful planet in the solar system, reaches out beyond the radioactive 
dust cloud which has shrouded the system since the intergalactic conflicts of 304 parsecs ago. Since then 
the solar system has been peaceful and the Federation of Interplanetary Trustees (F.I.T.) intend that it 
should stay that way. However, the Aarls — a nation of warmongers - think differently. They enjoy the 
occasional uprising and this time they have decided to intrude on to the area designated as No Man's Land, 
just outside Galletron’s official boundary. This action is in direct confrontation with the Treaty of 
Galletron and must be stopped. Unfortunately, in the interim period of peace, the Aarls have taken the 
opportunity to advance their existing technology to such a degree that a direct attack on them would prove 
disastrous - for whoever was doing the attacking!

A secret survey carried out by the Calletrons, revealed that the Aarls had perfected a highly advanced 
communication network capable of transporting supplies and reinforcements anywhere within the solar 
system. They had also developed a semi-intelligent sentry droid equipped with incredibly powerful weapons, 
and lazer gates with incredible firing capacities. The only possible solution is for a volunteer pilot to 
try to cut the planetary and solar system links with Aarl.


YOUR MISSION

As one of the volunteers, you will first be teleported to the outer planets to disable the links there 
and then on to the next planet to do the same. You have been supplied with a Tiegyr MK 111 Surface Skimmer, 
fully equipped with the latest weaponry including a Positronic Proximity Blaster capable of destroying 
anything of a metallic structure and a Nutrino Magnetron Pulser which is able to disable the discharge 
mechanisms of all standard Aariite weaponry, but this will drain your power supply. You are also equipped 
with 3 regenerative boosters to give you three chances of survival.

You will be beamed to the surface with a small backup crew who will remain hidden in the planet’s shadow 
to avoid detection. Before they hide they will drop off supplies which you may have to search for. If you 
position your Tiegyr over or near the objects, they will automatically be beamed aboard. The items you are 
looking for are Fuel cells, Lazer cells, extra lives and a bonus. On the planet you will be faced with 
several, potentially fatal, hazards. Watch out for the sentries, contact with them will lose you a life. 
It is possible to destroy them but they will be replaced almost immediately. However there are only a set 
number per planet. You Tiegyr has a scanner which will inform you of how many sentries to expect per 
planet.

Once you have destroyed the first communications link, you will be teleported to the next planet by your 
suppport team. You will have to sever the links on 9 planets before reaching Galletron, where the central 
Power House is housed. This takes the form of two large Teslerons and there is a central communications 
dish. Destroy these and you will have accomplished your mission.
