The Empire Fights Back
----------------------

The Aim of the Game:

Three intergalactic wars during the past Millenium have weakened the Empre
which is now fighting to regain it's power and status.

A rebel colony of mutants have taken over an old warship and are seeding
the galaxy with deadly space mines in an attempt to gain control over the
Empire.

You have been selected to pilot the miniature space craft 'Air Wolf 2000'
and must enter the massive space mines to disable their control cores.

Unfortunetly, you have limited energy, so during your trips to the space
mines try to avoid contact with the meteorites and stay on course (centre
of the radar scanner). Inside the mines you must control your own robot
and can only survive by understanding the movement patterns of the service
drones.

Select which of the five mines to tackle first but beware of the fifth,
it is linked to the other four and you need to conquer these first to
open all channels.

Hints & Tips:

   loss.
2. Once inside a mine use your main view screen which shows how many
   cores need disabling.
3. Avoid all contact with the drones inside the complex of the mine.
4. Gates will open in the first four mines enabling you to conquer the fifth.
5. Study the movement patterns of the drones.
