                  STORY
                  Amongst the silent stars is the almost forgotten planet 
                  Erebus. Erebus is a natural planet, but has been heavily 
                  developed for the refinement of Earth´s waste products into 
                  useful gases and chemicals. There is danger in these 
                  refinement processess and Erebus is fully automated, requiring 
                  very little intervention from man, except occasional 
                  maintainence. 
                  However, observes of the skies noticed activity around Erebus 
                  and further investigation revealed that special missions from 
                  the nearby planet of Hadebus were behaving suspiciously, 
                  especially as they are sworn enemies of Earth! In fact they 
                  are turning the automated refinement processes of Erebus to 
                  their own ends to produce a nerve gas so noxious, once 
                  manufactured in quantity the Earth´s population could be 
                  obliterated! 
                  You are the chosen to eliminate the Hadeans from the refinery, 
                  you need not spare your laser fire, as these aliens are mortal 
                  enemies of Earthlings. 
                  So go forth and purify the universe! 
                  QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
                  Joystick in Port one. 
                  Joystick to move in four directions, button to FIRE. 
                  All the aliens are mortal enemies of mankind so kill anything 
                  that moves! 
                  Avoid solid or projecting objects. 
                  Kill enough aliens to gain access to the dimension ducts to 
                  pass to the next section. 
                  GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
                  The refinery is split into different levels of circular 
                  sections interlinked by dimension ducts. You must completely 
                  orbit each section eliminating as many of the enemy as 
                  possible and the you may gain access to the dimension duct. 
                  You will have to fight hard in this 30 second section of the 
                  game but it is the only way to progress to the next section. 
                  If you fight well at this point you can gain an extra life as 
                  well as mega points. 
                  You must be careful as Erebus is a build-up planet and you 
                  must not collide with any projecting buildings or solid 
                  objects. 
                  CONTROL PANEL
                  You will see information about your current score, hi-score, 
                  the name of the section you are in and lights depicting how 
                  many lives you have. On the righthand side of the panel the 
                  orbitcator shows how far round the section you have got.
