BLOCKADE RUNNER...A 3-D space adventure

You have a commander's eye view of the galaxy in realistic 3-D as you guide
your fleet of 4 merchant space freighters to Earth with vital supplies.  
Hostile aliens have sighted you and forced you into a dangerous asteroid belt.
The skilled commander will avoid the asteroids, destroy Robot mines and alien
ships, contend with fuel shortages, and prevent the deflector shields from
over-heating.

SETTING UP

Set up your ColecoVision(TM) or Adam(TM) according to your owner's manual
using controller 1, 2 or both.  Insert game, and RESET.  The # key pauses
the action; press "0" to resume play.

A TRUE TWO-PLAYER GAME WITH SELF-ADJUSTING LEVELS

The command can be shared by 2 players in BLOCKADE RUNNER.  One person 
controls the ship's speed and direction using the side-buttons and joystick,
while the other fires missiles using the keypad of the second controller.
Players cooperate and join forces as a team; they do not have to alternate
as they do in other video games.
BLOCKADE RUNNER will also self-adjust to the skill level of the player!
The more adept the commander, the more difficult the game.  And the further
the ship travels into the asteroid belt, the greater the effect of 
collisions with rocks.

SURVIVAL DATA

Each freighter is protected with a deflector shield that converts the
kinetic energy of asteroid collisions and space explosions into heat.  If
the shield is allowed to reach the critical temperature, the ship will
self-destruct.  The shield cools slowly with time and by contact with ice
crystals which appear at random (your sonar will alert you).  The ice also
replenishes the limited nuclear fusion fuel that powers the ship.

KNOW THY ENEMY

If bars appear near the sights, you are approaching the edge of the 
asteroid belt.  The ship is about to leave the "Trajectory Corridor" and
since there are more rocks to avoid in this area, it is advisable to resume
a more direct course as soon as possible.  Heat-seeking Robot mines have been 
planted within the belt.  You must attack immediately as they soon explode.
To protect yourself, place the mine in the sights and fire a missile.  The 
missile will actually tract the mine even if it does not remain in the
crosshairs!
Should you survive these dangers, alein ships will emerge and fire circular
plasma blasts at your freighter.  Since these weapons heat your shield by
30%, it is wise to steer clear of them.  The alien ships must be damaged
3 times with missiles before they are obliterated.
