Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi action game where you play as a lone pilot in a dystopian future. Your mission is to destroy a superweapon created by a dictator to save humanity from annihilation. You'll need skill and determination to overcome the formidable defenses and succeed in this desperate fight for survival.
Story
INTRODUCTION
In a future world, much remains the same: the need to protect, the need to preserve. Upon twisted, groaning girders, in the sluice of a castoff generation, society has built weapons beyond its capacity to control. Gone are the safeguards of counter technology, there are no levels left to sink to.
Everything is base and we scrabble for the scraps of redundant ideologies. The die has been cast and the sides have been set. As always, there are those who are determined to rule by force.
It begins with one man - a dictator by any measure - and the creation of a weapon too awesome to contemplate, a weapon no sane being would consider using... Now, at last we react. Finally, perhaps too late, we see that this weapon has to be destroyed... or humanity will perish.
As for me, I'm as desperate to survive as anyone in this defiled world. I have this last, pitiful chance to secure humanity's future. All I've got going for me is skill and the will to live....
It'll take skill to get past His defenses now. Skill to destroy a weapon we never should have allowed to be developed. A weapon we never dared to develop ourselves...
So it's up to me now. The craft is on the launch pad - another willing accomplice in this fetid war. I know what must be done: weapon on weapon, destroy to preserve.
THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY.

PLAYING TUNNEL B1
The object of the game is to carry out each of the compulsory Mission Objectives and progress to the next stage.
To start with, the player is armed with the basic Machine Gun. Any hits sustained by the craft will result in loss of energy (indicated on the ENERGY BAR). When the energy is fully depleted, one life will be lost. This energy may be replenished as may certain kinds of ammunition.
MISSION OBJECTIVES...
The mission objectives are provided in two ways: firstly as a Mission Brief and then as Map Symbols.
•
MISSION BRIEF...
The On-board CPU outlines which phase of the main computer defences are being initiated and what primary and secondary objectives are involved. Negotiate each phase and progress into the Dictator's underworld by overcoming his defenses and fulfilling the mission objectives.
Primary objectives MUST be completed. Secondary objectives are optional, but make progress easier on later levels. The computer will update your mission objectives should the situation call for it. To review the mission brief, select Restate Mission on the Pause Menu.
•
MAP SYMBOLS...
These are marked out on the MAP which may be called up at any time during the game by pressing SELECT.
Both the type and color of these symbols is significant.
RED symbols indicate Primary Mission Objectives that MUST be completed. YELLOW symbols indicate Secondary Mission Objectives that SHOULD be completed. GREEN symbols show optional objectives that may be carried out for bonuses.
The symbols have the following meaning:
•
TARGET.... Destroy whatever appears at this location

Items & Weapons
MACHINE GUN
This basic, weak weapon requires no ammunition and is the fall back support for your craft. Upgrades available: TWIN BARREL and TRIPLE BARREL.
ROCKET
Standard rockets affect a burst area upon impact. Any craft, even the player's, will take damage if caught within this area. Upgrades available: TWIN ROCKETS and SEEKING ROCKETS. Seeking Rockets can be locked onto a target before firing.
MISSILE
Similar to Rockets though with the advantage of being smaller and far more maneuverable. Upgrades available: TWIN MISSILE and SEEKING MISSILE. The Seeking Missile can be locked onto a target before firing.
ARGON LASER
The Argon Laser is primarily used to deplete an opponent's shield capacity, but causes relatively little damage to the target craft. Upgrades available: TWIN LASER and NEON LASER. The Neon laser inflicts twice the normal damage.
FLARES
When an opponent uses Seeking Rockets, firing a flare will attract them away from the player's craft.
MINES
Useful for detonating other minefields, blowing doors or containers, or as a strategic aid in regular combat. Mines are deployed directly before the player's craft and continue to slide along the same trajectory.
SMART BOMB
Affects both craft and firepower in a wide area burst. Only strong armor plating or shields can withstand a smart bomb explosion.
SUPER SMART BOMB
Five individual components must be assembled to create the Super Smart Bomb that releases ten times the energy harnessed by the regular smart bomb. Only the very strongest opponents can hope to withstand such an attack.
BOOSTER
No description provided in the text.
Tips & Maps
ON-BOARD CPU message
Whenever an ON-BOARD CPU message appears, be sure to check your map.
Avoiding being trapped
To avoid becoming trapped in rooms, be sure to keep a careful eye on the timer and generator repair countdown.
Tunnel levels
When you reach the Tunnel levels - DO NOT rush in!
Strafe and Slide controls
Master the Strafe and Slide controls (see Advanced Controls). They will be vital skills for tight timer situations.
Following enemies
Following certain enemies can be a help.
Mines
Mines can be "kicked" as well as placed.
Enemy hits
Some enemies may require more than one hit.
Bl's advanced targeting systems
The Bl's advanced targeting systems ensure missiles and rockets are capable of attacking around corners.
BOOSTER usage
If, while using a BOOSTER, the craft comes to a halt, press the booster button again for a quick burst of acceleration. This is done at the cost of some booster energy.
