You are the last hope! The alien
slimehordes of Fraxull us are
attacking your cities. One by one,
the inhabitants are being
exterminated by the invincible
F raxullan mother ship, that is
shielded in Baltheric antimatter,
making it impossible to destroy.
It can however, be paralyzed
briefly by laser attacks, but then is
able to move more quickly. Be
wary of the transporter beam
since it spells instant death for
your Needlefighter. The F raxullan
mother ship moves relentlessly,
drawing up the helpless natives
and fiendishly carrying them to
Dragonmaw, the sulferous volcano
of death. The volcano is due to
erupt at any time, but be careful of
the explosions that occur
occasionally during the game.
You must evacuate all 18 people
from the City of New Hope before
it is too late, and then on to the
safety of the Verdann Fortress. You
are the sole PROTECTOR!
The Verdann Fortress is located
below the horizontal red bar past
the vertical laser defense networks
that are robot controlled, the Laser
Fields of the Straak. The laser
installations are stationary while
other installations are mobile and
track your Needlefighter. The
armaments for the VerdannFortress
are carefully cloaked in
invisibility shields until after the
eruption of Dragonmaw. At this
time the red energy shields are
dropped and the Verdann Fortress
and it's armaments become available.
In order for the survivors
from the City of New Hope to
reach safetY, they must be placed
in the escape chute located below
the walls of the Fortress. You must
save these innocent victims from
their gruesome destiny.
You launch your Omicrom
Needlefighter from your base
deep inside the Xlarr defense post
