Note: When playing a 2-player game, the same character will be cloned for

amount of Xenos in time, the space station will be declared "cleared of
Xenos" and a bonus will be awarded. If you fail to clear out the Xenos,
then the space station will be declared "overrun by Xenos" and no special
bonus will be awarded.
Split screen play: In a 2-player game, each player may independently
explore different parts of the various space stations.
Health: Player is awarded 1000 Health units at the beginning of each game.
When all Health is gone, the game is over. As you, the player, are
injured by attacking Xenos, your Health will decrease. When game is over,
you must start a new game. There is no way to continue.
There are two ways to regain Health. One is by picking up special objects,
the other is by successfully clearing a space station of Xenos. The award
for clearing a space station of Xenos is 200 Health units.
