SCENARIO
--------
The  warrior returns from his conquest in the Soviet block to
find  his services  are required on another WORLD! The female
leader  of the  planet Magenta  has been  kidnapped by  alien
terrorists  who  are now  holding  her  world to  ransom.  In
return  for  his aid, the  Magentans have given the warrior a
devastating  high-velocity  Gyro laser and a matter converter
that,  when  sufficiently charged, will cybernetically mutate
him  into  an Elite Mechanical  Combat Unit. In this form, he
should be able to defeat anything the terrorists can throw at
him...  or so the Magentans have told him.


GAMEPLAY
--------
LEVEL 1
Begin your mission in the forest area outside the terrorists'
stronghold.  Automated seentry  robots patrol  this area  and
are  programmed  to  destroy  any alien  organism  that  they
encounter.  Beware, enemy air support is on the way.

LEVEL 2
Upon  leaving the  forest,  you  enter the  ruins  of a  city
decimated  by  repeated  rescue attempts  by  the  Megentans.
Terrorist  artillery stalks  the rubble, ever ready for a new
attack.  Destroy  as many of  these as you can while avoiding
energy discharges from power generators...

LEVEL 3
Moving  underground  to avoid the  full force of a terrorists
attack,   you   find  yourself  confronted  with  evil  alien
hatchlings.  Carve a  way through  these horrible  creatures.
If  you think  these nasties  are bad...  wait until  you see
their mother!

LEVEL 4
Back  into  the open  again for a  roof-top battle where your
agility,  speed and  skill are  critical. Avoid  falling into
oblivion  while  fighting energy discharging skulls and other
surprises as you get closer to your goal!

LEVEL 5
Now you have breached all of their defences, enter and search
the  prison ship.  Locate and free the world leader but watch
out,  they are  not going  to let  you get  to her  without a
fight!
