INSTRUCTIONS:
YOU ARE THE COMMANDER OF A STRATEGIC MISSILE SILO SOMEWHERE IN KANSAS.
YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO REPEL THE ENEMY'S STRATEGIC STRIKE WITH YOUR ARSENAL
OF SPRINT MISSILES AND PARTICLE BEAM WEAPONS.
AS THE ENEMY MISSILES ENTER YOUR AIRSPACE (100 MILE ALTITUDE), THEY COME ONTO
THE SCREEN WITH A COMPUTER-ASSIGNED TARGET NUMBER (1-9 OR A-Z).
(THE SCREEN COVERS THE ALTITUDE RANGE 0-100 MILES, AND THE WIDTH OF THE
SCREEN CORRESPONDS TO ABOUT 80 MILES.) IF AN ENEMY MISSILE LEAVES THE SCREEN
TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THEN YOUR SILO WILL BE SAFE.
FIRE CONTROL:
TO FIRE A SPRINT MISSILE OR PARTICLE BEAM AT A TARGET, SIMPLY TYPE ITS NUMBER
ON THE NUMERIC KEY ROW AT THE TOP OF THE KEYBOARD.
NOTE THAT SOMETIMES SEVERAL HITS ARE REQUIRED TO DESTROY A MISSILE (THIS IS A
FUNCTION OF DIFFICULTY LEVEL), ALSO THAT OCCASIONALLY A MISSILE WILL EXPLODE
AT HIGH ALTITUDE TO CONFUSE YOU AND OBSCURE VISION (YOU CAN'T SEE MISSILES
INSIDE THE EXPLOSION RESIDUE).
MIRVS:
BE WARNED THAT THE ENEMY HAS PERFECTED MIRVS AND ANY MISSILE IS LIKELY TO
SPLIT INTO 2 OR MORE AT ANY TIME!
SCORE:
YOU GET 1 POINT FOR EVERY RV YOU DESTROY, PLUS 9 BONUS POINTS IF YOU DESTROY
IT WHILE AT HIGH ALTITUDE.
GAME:
THE GAME CONTINUES UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN NUKED 3 TIMES (RVS SCORE 3 HITS).
