Game Info:

So there you were, pulling up outside your local Foourd dealer in your
clapped out Laader 100L complete with free flowing air intakes, (rust!)
for a test drive.

However, after taking a wrong turn, you find yourself in the middle of the
local alien communities.

And they are not too happy about you being there!!!

You must fight off the alien attacks against you using only your skill and
agility (and the bolt on weaponry sent to you courtesy of Foourd).

To collect the weapon that is indicated on the panel, simply run into the
pod that comes towards you.

Not collecting a pod will advance the weapon indicator.

A pod is only awarded when all the attcking aliens have been destroyed.

Weapons include:
SPINNER: This constantly tops your energy up.
SIDE ARM: This fires sideways. This will only kill aliens that are directly
to the left or right of your ship.
HYPERSPACE: Makes you invincible for a period of time, destroyong all
aliens and meteors.
EXTRA MISSILE: Self explanatory.
EXTRA LIFE: Self explanatory.

Eventually you will reach the end of the alien ghetto and come face to
face with the great big mother of a ship that is used by their leader. This
will take many hits to destroy it although you cannot use missiles.

You may think that all this is too much for your puny senses to bear so
Foourd, in their ultimate wisdom, have included on the T-Bird
an anti-collision shield. However, this only has a limited energy cell and
each collision drains it.

Holding down fire will fire a missile.

This will destroy all aliens or meteors on screen.
