SCENARIO
The warrior returns from his conquest in the Soviet block to find his
service are required on another WORLD! The female leader of the
planet Magenta has been kidnapped by alien terrorists who are
now holding her world to ransom. In return from his aid, the
Magentans have given the warrior a devastating high-velocity
Gyro laser and a matter converter that, when sufficiently charged,
will cybernetically mutate him into an Elite Mechanical Combat
Unit. In this form, he should be able to defeat anything the
terrorists can throw at him... or so the Magentans have told him.

GAME PLAY

LEVEL 1
Begin your mission in the forest area outside the terrorists'
stronghold. Automated sentry robots patrol this area and are
programmed to destroy any alien organism that they encounter.
Beware, enemy air support is on the way.

LEVEL 2
Upon leaving the forest, you enter the ruins of a city decimated by
repeated rescue attempts by the Megentans. Terrorist artillery
stalks the rubble, ever ready for a new attack. Destroy as many of
these as you can while avoiding energy discharges from power
generators.

LEVEL 3
Moving underground to avoid the full force of a terrorist attack, you
find yourself confronted with evil alien hatchings. Carve a way
through these horrible creatures. If you think these nasties are bad...
wait until you meet their mother!

LEVEL 4
Back in the open again for a roof-top battle where your agility
speed and skill are critical. Avoid falling into oblivion while fighting
energy discharging skulls and other surprises as you get closer to
your goal!

LEVEL 5
Now you have breached all of their defences, enter and search the
prison ship. Locate and free the world leader but watch out, they are
not going to let you get to her without a fight!
