In ZONE 1 you must wipe out all of the android troops before you can continue to the Second zone. In ZONE 2 you can use your bombs to annihilate enemy submarines. In ZONE 3 you must find Dr. Vardos and destroy him! On Screen --------- Your score is on the top left hand corner of the screen. Below that are your FUEL & BOMB level sliders. You will lose a life if you run out of FUEL. Therefore there are fuel canisters scattered around each zone. To collect these just go into them. On the right is a Bonus counter, this will be added to your score upon successful completion of each zone. BEWARE: if you are too slow the bonus will become negative. (ie: Kiss goodbye your score!) Below the bonus is an ENEMY counter, as you kill each alien it will click down one. When it reaches 0 you have completed that zone. Along the bottom of the screen is an alien scanner for the present zone, your indicator starts at the far right hand side and as you move up through the zone your indicator moves left. All the other symbols on the scanner are aliens and must be destroyed!
