GAME PLAY

---------

Your ship is soaring over the vast blue horizon — suddenly an entire 

fleet of Galaxians come winging in from deep space! There is no time to

get help — you are the only one who can stop the GALAXIANS. 



You start the game by using one ot your three ships. Slide the ship 

from right to left to dodge Galaxian fire while you blast the invaders.

If you are hit your second ship will move into action — hit again and 

your third ship will come into service, but that is your final chance 

until you score 5,000 points when you are rewarded with an extra ship. 



The Galaxians line up according to their rank with bright yellow 

Commanders at the top directing the attack and protected by a row of 

red Hornets, then a row of purple Emissaries, and finally three rows of

blue Drones. 



If a Commander is destroyed while attacking, the Galaxians cease firing

for a few seconds to mourn his loss; this is your chance to blast the 

Hornets, Emmissaries and Drones. 



Zapping the Galaxians in flight earns you a higher score. Between 

shots, your next missile sits on the nose of your ship, you can destroy

an onrushing attacker by just touching him with it. 



If you succeed in destroying the entire fleet a new wave of Galaxians 

appear. 



To hold the game press the H key. To resume game play press the H key 

again.
