The Story """"""""" The year is 2001 A.D. and you have finally received your much desired Legal Combat Status from the Planetary Law Federation; "BOUNTY HUNTER". Excited by your successful promotion you prepare to embark for the planet Zybor. Zybor is a sparse planet, sustaining an advanced race of humanoinds, who are programmed to protect four planetary criminals called XTRO II, ARIEL HEAD, MAX PORKA and YOKOHAMA. Many Bount Hunters have tried and many have failed to reap the rewards held in Zybor, and each has received the same fate ... DEATH. You activate your AutoDockSystem and the combat craft slowly lands on the planet surface with a graceful elegance. Suddenly, you receive a message from the Galaxy Police on your communications console: ___________________________ | | | TERMINATION WARRANT | | | | TERM: LICENCE 1 | | ALIAS: XTRO II | | CRIME: SLAVE TRADER | | CREDITS: 100,000 cr. | |_________________________| Never before had you turned down the chance to gain 100,000 credits and it would be a good opportunity to use the Mantronix that you had bought, in the Do-Monic Sector. Equipped with a sophisticaed pulse lazer and a Mk. 1 autoscan camera, the Mantronix can be controlled from your own combat craft. While viewing the planet's landscape and transmitting the pictures back to your craft, it can also collect valuable items and enter into combat. You must find and terminate the four criminals before their humanoids kill your Mantronix. However, the Mantronix must also find eight power cubes which are necessary to reverse the direction of the conveyor belts and essential as fuel for your homeward flight. Pulsators are a vital life source to the criminals and may only be destroyed if you possess the correct equipment. Zybor holds many riches such as diamonds, money, machinery, firearms and spare parts for your Mantronix. Try to collect as much as possible while you are on the planet as it will prove to be a vital source of revenue for further intergalatic trading, but be careful of the Black Holes as they will kill your friend.
