STORY
Sometime, somewhere, someone is changing the future by 
altering our past. A previously extinct primeval entity is 
being summoned forward through the barriers of time by a 
fanatical sect, whose aim is to disrupt the future balance of 
power. 
As sole survivor of the once elite "time corps" you have been 
chosen by the federation of law and order to thwart this evil 
conspiracy. You are to be transported by molecular disruption 
to combat the entity as it leaps closer to our destiny. 
Unfortunately the locals are not keen on time warriors and 
evil monsters popping up out of nowhere and they tend to get 
upset. 
Luckily you are carrying an energy conversion kit which, if 
used correctly, changes ordinary objects into a powerful array 
of stunningly useful megautilities, be careful... some only 
last a short while. 
Destroying certain hostile characters and objects may leave 
behind a clue as to the identify of one of the conspirarators 
(symbolized by a jigsaw piece) which must be collected, once 
exposed the entity will be forced to make an appearance in 
that time zone in order to destroy you and the evidence, you 
must weaken the monstrosity and force it to retreat whence it 
came and continue your task in another era. 
THE GAME 
You only have a limited energy supply which is depleted each 
time you are hit, but is restored on each level. Use your 
shield with care. 
Collect lemons or worms by walking or flying over them, this 
will enable you to select a different weapon if you so desire. 
To activate the current weapon type (indicated by an arrow 
above the icons) pull down and press fire. 
The icon will then flash, you may have a certain combination 
of different weapons (but some cancel each other out). If 
"fly" has been selected you may take-off by first pulling down 
and then pushing up. 
When you have collected all the pieces and the face has been 
completed then the Primeval Entity will appear and you will 
have to destroy him by continually firing whatever weapons are 
at your command. Once destroyed you will be transported to the 
next time period. 
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST!
