SPECTRON

You are the latest in a long line of
SPECTRON fighting robots and your only
aim in life is to survive; to survive in an
arena filled with hostile enemy robots.
Armed with a rapid fire laser gun you
must blast these mindless machines into
clouds of vaporised metal and silicon chips
as they move relentlessly towards you.
Your reactions will need to be at their
peak to survive in this hostile environment,
with 4 different strains of robots, each with
their own movement characteristics and
attack strategies, including the deadly
homing missile.

To make existence even more difficult an
increasing number of electrified fences are
placed in the arena as the game progresses
to reduce the manoeuvring space.
With up to 54 robots and missiles on the
screen at the same time and an ever
increasing speed, SPECTRON is a game
which wilt NEVER be beaten no matter
how proficient you may become.

Instructions

Q = UP
A = DOWN
B = RIGHT
V = LEFT

The hostile enemy robots are:

SWARMERS

Move quite slowly around the screen
attempting to hit you.

SPEEDERS

Similar to Swarmers but faster.

LAUNCHERS

Moves randomly around the screen and
fires missiles.

ELECTRON

Moves in a random manner and leaves an
almost indestructible electronic fence
behind it (only about 1 out of every 12 shots
will penetrate it. Remember this as it will be
important to you in the later stages).

MISSILES

These are fired by Launchers and home in
on you. They are very dangerous.

BONUS

Each wave has a time bonus which
constantly drops during the wave. If the
bonus reaches zero before all the enemy are
destroyed, that particular wave will finish.

Spectron automatically fires In the
direction that you are moving. (You can
also move diagonally by pressing a
combination of keys such as Q & B).
