SCENARIO

The year is AD2320 and the Galaxy is in turmoil. With the alien threat ever increasing, 
the lack of experienced assault personnel is severely undermining the defences of 
civilised sectors. You are needed to repel the hostile alien forces - but you have to 
qualify first. Prepare to go to Stripworld - the training ground for all Galactic Fighter 
Pilots!

Initially controlling a Star Fighter, PLASMA CELLS lining the route must be collected and 
taken through the barrier. Upon completion of this level you will take the controls of the 
ground assault vehicle. Manoeuvre the GAV to the next barrier, again collecting Plasma 
Cells to power the waiting Star Fighter. This will continue until you can advance no 
further.

To test you to the simulated alien defences line the way and must be overcome. Ground 
skimming projectiles, intelligent missiles, enemy star fighters, mine barriers and many 
more obstacles will challenge even the most advanced Fighter Pilot.


GAME PLAY

You begin with four lives (one CBM 64/128). Each time your craft is destroyed a life is 
lost. Extra lives are gained by collecting the PLASMA CELLS (the remains of the nuclear 
generators). If your craft is hit whilst carrying one or more cells one cell will be 
destroyed whilst saving you from destruction. The number of Plasma cells carried through 
determines the number of lives for the next level.

If you loose all of your lives beyond level two CENTRAL COMMAND will send you back one 
level.

HOSTILE ALL TERRAIN ENCOUNTER has 30 levels, divided into three stages.

Levels 1-10 Trainee 
Levels 11 - 20 Fighter Pilot 
Levels 21-30 Commander

Upon completion of levels 11/21 all subsequent games will begin at these levels. To return 
to level 1 the game must be reloaded.

SMART BOMB (CBM64/128 Version Only)
Touching the smart bomb causes it to detonate, destroying everything on screen except your 
ship. This includes any Plasma cells that your ship may be carrying.
