NORTHSTAR DOCUMENTATION
The NORTHSTAR PROJECT, the most highly classified operation ever
to be undertaken by the four Earth Lords, has gone tragically
wrong......
The year is 2499 and an over-populated Earth was grasped in
starvation. Man fought against man, desperate for food. A meeting
was called and the Earth Lords decided upon an eleborate plan of
action. A station would be built. Not an ordinary space station:it
would not hold just 10,20 or even 100 people, but thousands upon
thousands. There they would be able to produce foods high in
nutrional value, very efficiently and most importantly very
quickly.
The building started and daily flights of scientists were sent up.
As the years went by the steady flow of flights with their large
loads accelerated the project almost to the point of completion-
until one day when a flight left but never returned. The station,
now called NORTHSTAR was paged from Earth, but there was no reply.
You have been appointed to fly to the NORTHSTAR to find out what's
going on and to resolve any problems you may find.
Arriving on NORTHSTAR you find that the station has been overun
by an alien hoard. No human survivors can be seen anywhere - are
they really all dead ? You noticed that the life support systems
are in-operative, only your robotic implants prevent you from
suffocation.
Now your task becomes clear. You must destroy these alien life
forms and reactivate the life support systems by making your way
to the NORTHSTAR project centre.
HOW TO PLAY
The scrolling screen displays you, your enemy and the various
obstacles you encounter. Your score, lives remaining, oxygen
level, and any weapons collected are also shown.
BONUS PODS:These can contain either an oxygen bonus, a score
bonus, or a weapon bonus.
WEAPONS: At the start of the game your only weapon is your
robotic arm. There are a further 5 weapons to collect, and the use
of each will be obvious. The smart bomb is the only weapon that
uses a special key other than left, right, up, down and
fire. Should you be killed you will lose one of your weapons, but
this can be recollected.

towards you and collect everything that floats away from you.
