SPACE JUNK
==========

A space age action puzzler by Miguetelo Art.

A strange signal from an unknown source has been beamed bo our Solar 
System, disrupting the mining bases and refineries that humanity have
dispersed throughout occupied space.

All the robotic worker drones and auxiliary machines have gone crazy
and are now hostile to any human craft that approaches.

Without human intervention, the installations will quickly overheat,
creating a series of explosions that will be catastrophic to the Earth.

Navigate hostile mazes and pilot your craft into the heart of each
installation, shutting them all down before you can return home safely.


INSTRUCTIONS

A malevolent signal of unknown origin has born through the automated 
mining and refining bases that now pepper our solar system.

The unmanned worker drones and devices in these bases have gone berzerk, 
running in overdrive to take apart their places of work from the inside 
out. This has created a potential powder keg situation that, if left to 
proceed unchecked, will destroy our solar system and all life within it.

The machines are designed bo operate for a set period and then cool 
down. Currently, they are running constantly and generating a massive 
amount of heat which is fatal for the reactors that power these giant 
mechanical factories. As they remove more and more of the materials 
surrounding these reactors, the heat generated by their destructive 
activity reaches ever more perilous levels.

To make matters worse, every last one of the moveable robotic parts 
within these bases is now completely hostile to human interference. 
Numerous scientific expeditions have been dispatched to study the 
situation at hand and, on entering the radar field of the installations, 
have been destroyed.

You are mankinds last hope. Your craft is designed to mimic the behaviour 
of the automated devices within the vast space junkyards that these bases 
have now become. It is believed that you will not be directly attacked as 
the automated craft will see you, due to your movement patterns, as one 
of their own. Your ship will spin on its access so it's vital that you 
adapt to this form of movement. Conventional movement is impossible as 
you would immediately be debected by the installation's sensor array and 
destroyed.

You must destroy the pieces of radiated, super heated junk in each area 
with your onboard laser weapon in order to cool that part of the 
installation. Without energy from these pieces the hostile craft will 
have no fuel source and cannot continue to operate.

Once you have destroyed all of the pieces in an area you may move on to 
the next. The section you've just cleared will gradually cool as the 
machines grind to a halt, enabling salvage and study teams to move in.

Cool enough of the installations and the reactor cores can return to a 
nominal temperature.

To conbrol your craft, Keyboard, Kempsbon and Sinclair setups are 
available and can be selected from the title menu once the game has 
loaded.

Good luck, pilot, mankind and the rest of the inhabitants of our solar
system are depending on you!
