===Every Second Counts - You Are the Last Hope!===
Load the Protector II cartridge into your Texas Instruments 99/4A Computer as explained in your computer owner's manual, and turn on your computer.
In order to transport people from one city to another, you must "hook" each person, one at a time, by passing immediately above the person that you wish to lift. You will know when they are hooked as they will stop waving their arms. After hooking them you must ascend and the person will cling to the bottom of your Needlefighter. In order to "drop" a person you merely fly over the area where you wish to deposit the person (making sure that they touch the disembarking area) and he/ she will pop off.
All of the people must first bebrought to the City of New Hopebefore the barrier to the VerdannFortress will be opened. It ispossible (in some of the easierlevels) to catch people before theysink into the mouth of Dragonmaw.This maneuver requiresgreat skill and timing. Also theunpredictability of the volcaniceruptions makes this a very riskyprocedure.procedureThe aliens and fate conspire against you at every turn. The Fraxullan mother ship launches Xytonic PULSE-TRACKERS to destroy you. These fiendish trackers pursue you across the skies. They are persistent and will destroy your passengers (and/ or the Needlefighter) if they make contact with them. Be wary of the CHOMPERS, an indigenous life form. They are powerful and unpredictable. In fact, they eat Needlefighters for breakfast! Also, there are rocket bases all over the surface of the planet. These rockets fire in many directions. You may destroy rocket installations by hitting them with laser cannon fire when they turn red. PainstakinglY, after every man, woman and child have been flown past Dragonmaw and placed in the City of New Hope, the volcano will erupt, starting a lava flow that inevitably destroys the City of New Hope. It is here that you find out if you passed the ultimate test. Your mouth is dry, and the sweat trickles down your face, as you strain against the impossible odds. There is no time to think, only to do! It has fallen on your shoulders, you are the last hope.You are the PROTECTOR!
