OBJECT OF THE GAME
     To collect 8 cartridges around the complex and to activate the
cartridge slots by de-activating the 8 active terminals, allowing the
cartridges to be inserted into the cartridges slots.  The 8 cartridge
slots are all located in one room somewhere in the complex.  When your
droid is near to the cartridge room you are warned by the proximity
alert in the centre of the score panel.

THE SUB-GAME
     To enter the sub-game, push the joystick up at an active terminal
(indicated by a yellow light).  Once in the terminal, the object is to
shoot the data-bus on the right hand side of the screen within a set
time limit.  This is made difficult by rotating drivers in front of the
bus. The drivers must be shot away by continuous laser fire.  Also, the
piece fired from the drivers must be avoided as they deplete the timer
in the top left of the screen.  As well as the pieces of the drivers
flying towards you, occasionally icons will appear.  There are four of
these icons, and to use one, simply let it float into your cannon.  The
coloured icon with and 'R' on it will enable rapid fire if collected.
The metallic looking 'S' icon will slow up your cannon for 5 seconds,
leaving you vulnerable to the flying debris from the drivers.  The
coloured 'D'-shaped icon will decrease the timer by 10 seconds,
resulting in your having less time to destroy the bus, and the last
icon, a metallic bullet-shaped object, will increase the timer by 10
seconds.
     If you fail to complete the sub-game, your droid loses some of his
energy supply.  Each time you complete the sub-game, a cartridge slot in
the cartridge room is activated.  Then you find the room and insert the
cartridge you have collected.  Up to three cartridges can be carried at
one time (shown at the bottom of the panel).

CARTRIDGES
     Cartridges are purple, and are found in housing magazines which
have a red light on top of them.

FUEL
     Re-fueling can be done at re-fueling points located randomly around
the complex.  These are identified by the oscillating graph on their
screens.  Pushing up on the joystick and pressing the fire button
replenishes energy, pushing down and pressing fire deplenishes it.
Energy costs you score.  Warnings appear on screen when your energy gets
too low or too high.

TERMINALS
     These resemble computer terminals, and have information scrolling
on them.  If the light is yellow, it is active, if it's red then it's
inactive.

DROIDS
     The droids found throughout the complex have different
characteristics and strengths.  Some retreat, others continue to bump
you, and some bounce off you and fire a laser at you.  The different
types of droid will become apparent during the game.
