"For a reason unknown to man the surface of Mars has started to break up throwing millions of tiny fragments of rock into space. An asteroid belt has formed around Mars like that of Saturn, and the Martians are terrified as their spaceships are too bulky to negotiate it. They will be stranded on Mars forever if nobody rescues them soon. You have been chosen for this mission. The mother ship will take you as close to the surface as possible and after that you are on your own. You must pilot a small craft through the asteroid belt and land on Mars. Then you must pick up a Martian and get him back to the mother ship. On the way up you have a laser gun which you can use to blast any asteroids out of the way. The Martians may fire the gun as well occasionally. Playing Instructions If you do not have a joystick attached use the following keys: 6 - ROTATE LEFT 9 - ROTATE RIGHT 0 - THRUST/FIRE You score 10 points each time you move closer to the planet but you lose one point every time you use THRUST. The landing platforms are worth different points ie. the largest platform 1/3 100 next largest 1/3 200 smallest 1/3 300 You also get a bonus when you land depending on how much time you have left. On the way up you score 20 points for each asteroid destroyed. Firing your gun also speeds the ship up. You have 3 ships per game and 5 Martians to rescue on each mission. Good Luck!
