THE STORY
You are Hawk Storm, brave and intrepid
warrior of the planet Edos. The sole
source of Life Energy on Edos are the
giant capacitoid crystals that store energy
by day, and regenerate it during the
bitterly cold nights. Now the evil Neviks
have stolen all but two of these crystals.
The incremental power generated by the
crystals is exponential. The power
generated by the remaining two is
insufficient to sustain normal life.
Consequently the remaining Edosians
have entered a Life Suspension Program,
in the hope that you can retrieve the
stolen crystals before the dwindling power
of the remaining crystals is insufficient to
fuel the Life Suspension Program, and the
last civilised life for on Edos perishes for
good.
You have been teleported from the
cocoon-like safety of Edos, to the barren
wastelands inhabited by the Neviks, which
you must diligently search, in your quest to
find the thirty two stolen crystals, and save
your civilisation from extinction.

THE GAME
The long range teleport will only transmit
living organisms, so your primary objective
must be to find and collect some armoury,
either guns and/or stryders, bombs, and
shields. The Neviks are expecting you and
have set many traps to bar your way. Watch
out for crumbling platforms, and beware of fire
pits. Don't get hit by the Neviks' deadly
slimeballs. Avoid the Neviks' gun turrets. You
must enter into deadly combat with the evil
Nevik warriors that will bar your path in their
tireless quest to make you fail in your
mission.
You can utilise the lifts that you will find to
move to different levels; the teleports will
transport you to different locations.
