rotation. Move your ship forward by pressing Button
3. Press Button 4 to fire lasers at the pirates. The
pirates can be destroyed by colliding with them, but
you will then have to wait for your new pirate-
destroying ship to appear before you can fire more
lasers. The game is over when all the fuel cells
are stolen.
The Pirates
There are six types of pirates. Each new type is faster
and smarter. They can all steal fuel tanks and fire
lasers at you. In a one player game, two pirates of
the first type will appear. If you destroy them, two
pirates of the second type will attempt to steal fuel
cells, and so on. After all six pirate types appear, two
at a time, they will start appearing three at a time.
In a two player game, you start with six of each type
of pirate, appearing 3 at a time.
Getting Hit
If you are hit by a pirate or collide with a pirate or
the other ship (in two player game only), you will
disappear. After a brief delay, you will return from
the side on which you first entered.
