Twilight Zone
=============

Scenario
========

We now have control; you are entering the TWILIGHT ZONE.

We are a much superior race, far more advanced than you mere humans.
We inhabit the Twilight Zone, which is another dimension parallel to
your own.

We have brought you to the Twilight Zone to amuse ourselves. You see
because of our vastly superior brains, our bodies became practically
obsolete a few eons ago. So to derive any physical pleasure we enter
your dimension and then remove certain humans for our games.

Each yaron we create a whole new game, so that we will not become
bored. And I must say that this yaron we have created the best game
ever in our history.

The game consists of ten zones; each one harder than the last. You
have control of two lazers one on the horizontal and one on the
vertical planes of the screen. If either one of your lazers happens to
be destroyed then your remaining base is crippled and you will lose a
life.

Your journey through each zone is determined by time and not by your
score, but the more aliens you shoot the more points you will get.

Each successive zone gives you another different alien to contend
with; and each has its own particular attack pattern.

If you lose four lives before you reach the Ultima Zone (zone 10); we
will kill you. So now you know the rules prepare to play Earthling. We
wish you the worst of luck.

   beginning.
3. Type LOAD""
4. Press PLAY on the cassette recorder.
5. TWILIGHT ZONE will now load automatically and the word PROGRAM will
   now appear at the top left-hand corner of your screen. When the
   word Program leaves the screen the main introduction panel will

   rewind the cassette, adjust the VOLUME control on the recorder and
   try again. NOTE: Full loading instructions can be found in your
   Spectrum manual.

TO PLAY
=======

You can move each lazer base independently; so just keep moving and
blasting away and maybe you might be lucky and survive into the next
zone; but your luck can't last forever. What a shame. Ha-Ha!!
