In the year 2199, the Spaceship 'Epic' was caught in a 

plasma storm and forced off course through a space

warp into unknown space.  Due to damage sustained

during the storm, the 'Epic' has been forced down to

an apparently uninhabited planted for urgent repairs.



Whilst on-planet, the ship, unknown by the crew,

became infected with an alien life form (ALF).



Repairs made, the ship set off on its journey home to

Altontron.  It was then they became aware of the ALF.

Investigations of the ALF by the medical centre

produced the following data.



1)  The ALF was a virus type of creature with an

     incubation period of 12 days.

2)  After 12 days. it metamorphosed into pools of

     slime with the ability to grow and move.

3)  After a short period, it then became into a slime

     walking monster.

4)  The final transformation was into a large walking

     slime throwing monster, some of which appear

     to have the power to turn invisible.



Several crew members have been killed on contact

with the ALF.  The captain of the Epic gave the order to

abandon ship and the crew teleported to a nearby

planetoid to await rescue.  The last crew member to 

leave, activated the ships into clean system whose

Servo droids would hunt and destroy only ALF's on

the ship.  On hitting an ALF, they self destruct, leaving

their energy rolls behind.



Also activated was a mayday message:



	TSS - EPIC TO UFP COMMAND

	SHIP OVERRUN WITH ALF'S 

	            SEND N.E.I.L.

	DROIDS KILL ALL LIFEFORAAAAARRRHHH!!!



Take the part of N.E.I.L., the half human, half cyborg,

mercenary who can go where no human can go.



Arriving at the location of the TSS Epic, you have

teleported aboard to clear the ship of ALF's in order

for the crew to return and continue their voyage.



At the bottom right of the screen are three Icons.

From top to bottom these are:



OXYGEN COUNTER - If this reaches 0, N.E.I.L. loses a

life.  This Icon will flash if 1 energy cell will transfer the

energy into this.



AMMO COUNTER - If this reaches 0, you are out of

ammo.  Should you have two energy cells, pressing 

space will increment the ammo counter.



SMART BOMB - This requires 3 energy cells.  Pressing

'space' to activate will destroy all ALF's in the room.



So there you have it, the mission is yours if you accept

it.  Good Luck.

MARQUE LOAD "". ENTONCES ENTER.



En el ano 2199, la astronave 'Epic' fué forzade por una tormenta de plasma a

abandonar su rumbo a través de una alabeo espacial hacia espacio desconocido.

Debido a las averias sufridas durante la tormenta, 'Epic' ha sido obligado a tomar

tierra en un planeta aparentemente desierto par llevar a cabo urgentes reparaciones.



Mientras estaba en el planeta, la aeronave, sin el conocimiento de la tipulación, ha

sido infectado por una vida ajena (ALF).



Investigación de ALF por el centre médico produce la siguiente información:



1)  ALF es un ser tipo virus con un periodo de incubación de 12 dias.



2)  Deispués de 12 dias, se transforma en charcos de cieno que pueden crecer y

    moverse.



3)  Después de cierto tiempo corto, se convierten en un monstruo de cieno ambulante.



4)  La metamorfosis final es en un gran monstruo con la capacidad de lanzar cieno,

     algunos de los cuales poséen el poder de hacerse invisibles.



Varios de la tripulación han muerto al tocar el ALF.  El Capitán del 'Epic' f ha dado la

orden de abandonar la aeronave y de teleportar la tripulación a un planetoide cercano

y alli esperar el rescate.



El último que salga de la tripulación, activa el sistema de Limpieza cuyos robots Servo

perseguiran y destruiran solamente los ALF de la aeronave.  Cuando se alimentan de

ALF, se autodestruyen, dejando detrás sus unidades de energia.



Tamien se activa un mensaje de socorro:



	TTS - EPIC AL CUARTEL GENERAL UFP

	    AERONAVE INFESTADA POR ALF

                           ENVIEN N.E.I.L.

	ROBOTS MATANDO TODA VIDA AAAAARRRRHH!!!



Toma la parte de N.E.I.L., el mercenario mitad ser humano, mitad robot cyborg, capaz

de ir donde non lo puede hacer un ser humano.



Al llegar donde está la Epic, te has teleportado a bordo para eliminar a ALF y permitir

que la tripulación vuelva y continue su viaje.



Al lado derecho de la pantalla hay tres simbolos.  De arriba a abajo estas son:



CONTADOR DE OXIGENO - Si alcanza 0.  N.E.I.L. pierde una vida.  Este simbolo

destellerá si I unidad de eneergia transfiries su energia a el.



CONTADOR DE MUNICIONES - Si alcanza 0, no tienes municiones.  Si tuvieras dos

unidades de energia; pulsando 'space' hará subir al contador.



BOMBA SMART - Aqui necesitas 3 unidades de energia.  Pulsando 'space' para

activarla, destruirá todo el ALF en la habitación.



O sea que hay lo tienes, la misión es tya, si la acéptas.  Beuna Suerte.
