UBBORN ENOUGH TO PREFER A.HANDICAP TO A

UR PLANETARY SHIELDS.  THEY CALL IT.A PL
ANET MASHER.  IF WE DON'T AGREE TO.THEIR
 TERMS, IT DESTROYS THE EARTH."..    "WH

Y WANT EARTH FREE OF ALL.HUMANS BY NOON 
FRIDAY.  NEEDLESS TO.SAY, WE DON'T HAVE 
THE RESOURCES TO.MOVE 12 BILLION PEOPLE

PHEROID?"..    "IT'S THE ONLY SHIP SMALL
 ENOUGH.TO SLIP THROUGH THEIR DETECTION.
DEVICES," TUCKER INTONES...    DEAR GOD,
 NO!  NOT A SPHEROID!.THEY ARE SO SMALL 
AND VULNERABLE,.SCARCELY LARGE ENOUGH TO
 SQUEEZE INTO..WHAT'S WORSE, THEY ARE VE
RY DIFFICULT.TO MANEUVER, THEIR TINY RET
ROS BARELY.CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING THE CR
AFT.EXCEPT IN A WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT..
THE HUGE PLANET MASHER IS SURE TO.HAVE A
 GRAVITY FIELD...    YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD 
IN YOUR HANDS.BUT THE COMMANDER TUGS AT 
YOU, HANDING.YOU A FLIGHT SUIT, THREE EN
ERGON.TABLETS AND A COKE TO WASH THEM DO
WN.WITH.  "HERE, SON, TAKE THESE."..    
TUCKER IS BEHAVING STRANGELY, NOT.AT ALL
 HIS USUAL IRREVERENT, BRASH.SELF.  HE'S
 APPARENTLY JUST AS AFRAID.AS YOU.  YOU 
CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES..YOU PAUSE, FEELI
NG RARE PITY FOR HIM..THE TREPIDATIONS O

AME..    PLUG YOUR JOYSTICK IN PORT 2...
    THE OBJECTIVE OF SPHEROID IS TO.DEST
ROY THE AUTOMATED PLANET MASHER.BEFORE I
T CARRIES OUT ITS PROGRAM AND.DESTROYS T
HE EARTH.....    HOWEVER, THE SPHEROID, 
A TOTALLY.AUTOMATED CRAFT, WAS NEVER INT
ENDED.TO HOST A LIVING PILOT. THUS IT WA
S.NOT DESIGNED FOR SAFETY.  EVERY 10,000
.SECONDS, A PULSE OF PLASMA ENERGY.WILL 
SWEEP THE DECK.  10,000 SECONDS.IS 2.78 
HOURS BUT THE TIME IS.CONDENSED DURING G
AME PLAY.  YOU MUST.WATCH YOUR CLOCK AND
 BE OUT OF THE.LEVEL BEFORE IT REACHES Z
ERO...    THE PLASMA DRUMS THAT POWER TH
E.SHIP ARE LINED UP ALONG THE WALLS,.PUL
SATING WITH POWER, DEADLY TO THE.TOUCH, 
EVEN THROUGH THE ONE-INCH.ARMOR OF YOUR 
HULL.....    IN THE HIGHER LEVELS, WHERE
 THE.PLASMA ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH MAGNETI
C.CONDUITS, YOU ARE IN EVEN GREATER.PERI
L.  FIREBALLS OF PURE ENERGY ZIP.THROUGH
 THE DECKS, CAPABLE OF.DESTROYING ANYTHI
NG THEY TOUCH.  IT.TAKES PERFECT TIMING 
TO GET PAST.THESE...    THE SHIP IS SO H
AZARDOUS YOU'D.THINK IT WAS A DELIBERATE
 SECURITY.SYSTEM, BUT THE SPHEROID ITSEL
F IS.ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST (OR SHOULD I SA
Y.SMALLEST) PROBLEMS.  IT IS NOT VERY.MA
NEUVERABLE AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO.BRING T
O A COMPLETE STOP.....JEFF'S ADVICE: WHE
N IN CLOSE QUARTERS.WITH PLASMA DRUMS, I
T MAY BE BEST TO.FORCE A COMPLETE STOP I
N ORDER TO GET.YOUR BEARINGS.  THE SPHER
OID IS.RESPONSIVE TO QUICK, DELICATE NUD
GES.OF THE JOYSTICK.  REMEMBER, THIS IS 
A.SURGICAL STRIKE.  THE FIRE BUTTON WILL
.GIVE YOU ADDED BRAKING/THRUSTING.POWER.
..             HOW TO PLAY..    TO MOVE,
 POINT THE JOYSTICK IN.THE DIRECTION THA
T YOU WANT TO GO..TO STOP, PUSH THE JOYS
TICK IN THE.OPPOSITE DIRECTION UNTIL YOU
 SLOW TO.A HALT.  USE THE FIREBUTTON TO 
GAIN.AN EXTRA BURST OF SPEED OR BRAKES..
.    ON EACH DECK YOU START IN THE.UPPER
-LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN..YOU MIG
HT HAVE TO LOOK VERY CLOSELY.DUE TO THE 
CRAFT'S SMALL SIZE.  THE.EXIT TO THE NEX
T DECK IS A YELLOW.CIRCLE WITH A DOT IN 
THE CENTER OF IT..AVOIDING THE PLASMA DR
UMS, YOU RACE.AGAINST THE CLOCK TO MAKE 
IT TO EACH.LEVEL.  REMEMBER, A PULSE OF 
ENERGY.WILL COURSE THROUGH THE DECK AND 
FRY.YOU IF YOU STAY TOO LONG...    YOUR 
SCORE IS TABULATED ON HOW.FAST YOU CAN F
INISH EACH LEVEL.  IF.YOU RUN OUT OF SPH
EROIDS, THE GAME.IS OVER.  ONCE YOU ACTI
VATE THE SELF-.DESTRUCT, YOU MUST EXIT O
R BE BLOWN.UP ALONG WITH THE ENEMY...   
       THINGS TO LOOK FOR..   IF YOU BUM
P INTO A WALL AND A.QUSTION MARK APAPEAR
S IN THE UPPER.RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE 
SCREEN, YOU.MIGHT WANT TO TRY RUNNING IN
TO THE.QUESTION MARK IN ORDER TO ENTER T
HE.SUBLEVEL.  THE SUBLEVEL MIGHT LEAD TO
.A SHORTCUT OR DISASTER.  SKIPPING.LEVEL
S THROUGH THE SHORTCUTS MIGHT.INCREASE Y
OOUR CHANCES OF FINISHING.THE GAME BUT Y
OU'LL MISS THE.OPPORTUNITY TO RACK UP PO
INTS.  THERE.IS A HIGH SCORE LIST TO CON
SIDER......    THERE ARE EXTRA SPHEROIDS
 LOCATED.THROUGHOUT THE SHIP, IF YOU KNO
W HOW.TO FIND THEM AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
.DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY BUMPING INTO.THE
 WALLS IN DIFFERENT PLACES LOOKING.FOR S
ECRET PASSAGES.  THERE'S ONE IN.EVERY LE
VEL EXCEPT THE LAST ONE,.NUMBER #10.  SO
ME PROVIDE WARPS TO.LATER LEVELS, SOME P
ROVIDE EXTRA.LIVES AND SOME ARE JUST THE
RE TO GIVE.YOU A HARD TIME.  LEARN THEM 
AND.YOU'LL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE THE

 THE ENTIRE PLANET IS.DEPENDING ON YOU.
