The Year is 2200 AD. The discovery of Plutonium in heavy quantities in 2025 AD has made Mars the center of mining activity and controversy throughout the galaxy. While the United Nations Earth Council has applied to the Federation of Galactic Realtors for mining rights, the battle for this precious planetary resource is heated. Now, it looks as though all is lost for Earth. Heavy casualties and loss of all warring machines has the majority of forces retreating into the dark Martian caverns waiting for reinforcements, which are not expected for 3 days. You have taken it upon yourself to save Earth's stake in Mars, and have ventured into enemy territory to hijack an enemy P22X WarHawk, a small nuclear powered craft with built in terrain detection and following mechanisms for low ground maneuvers.There are 4 enemy ships you must shoot down by firing your missiles at them. They will sustain 4 hits, the first 3 hits the enemy ships will change color, and the 4'th they will disintegrate. Your ship can also sustain 4 hits, but if you are hit four times you will be destroyed, and must repeat the current level of play.
Your ship (The P22X WarHawk) is capable of firing 5 missiles in rapid succession. However, each missile tube takes a few micro seconds to re-power and firing all 5 missiles in succession will cause a slight lag time until re-arming takes place and you can fire again, leaving you vulnerable to enemy attack.
Finding enemies can be somewhat challenging at times as the enemy pilots also wish to survive and will fly with their best interests in mind. Your radar screen only covers half the playing area, and you may need to fly around a bit to find the enemy. Sometimes you may see them flashing as tiny dots on the horizon, sometimes they will be in right your face and firing hard! Once you have an enemy in your view they cannot escape so long as you follow them, allowing you to gain ground until you can eventually destroy them.
There are 3 levels of play, you will automatically start at level 1. If you are killed, you must repeat the current level before advancing. If you kill all 4 enemy ship you will advance to the next level. The 3 levels of play are:
- Rookie. You are a trainee fighting droid enemy ships.
- Active Pilot. Proceed to active duty with live enemy pilots!
- Commander. You fight the best pilots the enemy has to offer.
