SPECTRON You are the latest in a long line of SPECTRON fighting robots and your only aim in life is to survive; to survive in an arena filled with hostile enemy robots. Armed with a rapid fire laser gun you must blast these mindless machines into clouds of vaporised metal and silicon chips as they move relentlessly towards you. Your reactions will need to be at their peak to survive in this hostile environment, with 4 different strains of robots, each with their own movement characteristics and attack strategies, including the deadly homing missile. To make existence even more difficult an increasing number of electrified fences are placed in the arena as the game progresses to reduce the manoeuvring space. With up to 54 robots and missiles on the screen at the same time and an ever increasing speed, SPECTRON is a game which wilt NEVER be beaten no matter how proficient you may become. Instructions Q = UP A = DOWN B = RIGHT V = LEFT The hostile enemy robots are: SWARMERS Move quite slowly around the screen attempting to hit you. SPEEDERS Similar to Swarmers but faster. LAUNCHERS Moves randomly around the screen and fires missiles. ELECTRON Moves in a random manner and leaves an almost indestructible electronic fence behind it (only about 1 out of every 12 shots will penetrate it. Remember this as it will be important to you in the later stages). MISSILES These are fired by Launchers and home in on you. They are very dangerous. BONUS Each wave has a time bonus which constantly drops during the wave. If the bonus reaches zero before all the enemy are destroyed, that particular wave will finish. Spectron automatically fires In the direction that you are moving. (You can also move diagonally by pressing a combination of keys such as Q & B).
