Cannons

You  are  provided  with  three  anti-molecular  cannons 
per  game  and  unlimited  ammunition.  One  extra  can-
non  will  be  earned  for  every  10,000  points  you  score. 
Although  you  may  earn  a  large  number  of  extra  can-
nons,  the  greatest  number  that  will  be  displayed  at 
the  bottom  of  the  screen  will  be  eight,  any  number 
over  eight  will  still  be  available  for  use.

Direct Hits

Your  cannon  will  be  destroyed  whenever  an  alien  is 
allowed  to  make  direct  contact.  After  a  hit,  you  will

Game Play

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-
tain  a  controlled  defense,  you  are  allowed  to  ZAP  all 
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.
