How to play
Insert the game pak into your NES, and turn on your computer. Use the SELECT
BUTTON to choose a one- or two-palyer game. Game A is for the beginner and
game B is for the expert. If you want to pause the game, press the START
BUTTON after the game started. Press again to resume the game. Use the pad to
move your spaceship to the direction you wish. Press A BUTTON to shoot the
LASER beam and B BUTTON to launch the smart bombs.
You start out with three spaceships and five smart bombs. The Laser beam is
unlimited. On the upper left corner of the screen, you see your score, the
number of ships remain, and the number of the smart bombs left. You must
maneuver your spaceship and shoot the LASER beam at the aliens. Use smart bomb
to clear all the aliens in screen at once. But remember, you only have limited
number of bombs. You also must save the resident being abducted by shooting
the enemies. When you see the sparkling square on the screen, it is the gate
to the other side of the planet. You may jump into the gate to get the other
side, where you will encounter more enemies, or you may choose to stay and
fight. To clear the wave, you must kill all the aliens, but some aliens may be
neglected. It is for you to find out which alien may be neglected to clear the
waves. If you do not kill all the aliens as quickly as possible, you may find
yourself surrounded by more aliens than when you started. Use your smart bomb
and warp gate wisely. Well, it is time for you to go to save the planet, Good
luck!

Playing tips
You will be travelling at very high speed, so try not run into aliens. You
must remember, that using warp gate and getting to the other side will not
save you from fighting with aliens. You may encounter enemies, which may be
tougher than the one you were fighting. Using the smart bomb is nice, but
remember you only have five to begin with. Try to save residents from being
abducted, each saved resident will give you the bonus points. You may find
yourself in the situation where you are surrounded by many aliens, even
though you thought you cleared them all. Don't panic, start fighting with the
closer alien, then work your way out. If it does not help, use a smart bomb.
