STAR FARCE
Mastertronic

You must destroy all fighting craft on Earth and then obliterate
every last Earthling in a desperate attempt to save the Universe.
The future is in your hands!


SCENARIO

It was intolerable. Earth people were paranoid. Every
time a benevolent race from a nearby star system
extended a tentative hand of friendship, Earth took it as
an aggressive gesture and sent a fighting force to
obliterate the whole lot of them.

Now, the rest of the Universe was feeling sorely depleted
and very angry. The time had come to do something.
So, the remaining races of the Universe selected a single
being to pilot a minuscule craft to Earth, destroy all
Earth's command ships, annihilate their fighter and
refuelling craft, eradicate every last Earthling, and
above all have a jolly good time.

You are this being, in this last, most ridiculously
destructive battle of them all. You must single-handedly
put a stop to this Star Farce and save the Universe.


GAMEPLAY

You must battle your way through 32 stages and destroy
the command ship at the end of each one. A warning
fanfare sounds before the appearance of a command ship
and it must be destroyed before it leaves the screen or
the stage is repeated.

You are given three ships with which to complete this
mission. However, certain land installations, when shot
several times, open up with the possibility of revealing
an extra one. Also on the land there are several fighter
and refuelling craft which, if destroyed, give a bonus at
the end of the stage.

	FIGHTER CRAFT			REFUELLING CRAFT

For your assistance, the aliens back home
have teleported some equipment canisters
to your vicinity. When shot these reveal an
extra pod which, if touched, connects
to your ship to give you much improved
fire power.

	EXTRA POD			TELEPORT SQUARE

Access to, and from, the enormous caverns
under the Earth's surface can be gained by
touching teleport squares. Stages can be
completed underground by destroying the
large training ships, which are similar to the
command ships but contain some of Earth's
finest pilots.
