As the game begins, you find yourself at the center
of the first galactic sector. From the far corners of
the sector, the alien colonists begin their attack
moving directly toward your position. Rotate the
direction of the cannon by using the Joystick. For
faster rotation, press Button 3 and move the Joystick
at the same time. As the aliens come within range,
fire with Button 4. If it becomes impossible to main-

the aliens at once by pressing Button 2. However,
you are only allowed to use the Zap one time in each
sector.
After you have cleared a sector of alien invaders,
you will be immediately transported to a different
part of the galaxy. Each new sector will be more
challenging, with increasingly aggressive aliens.
