Hello there!

I am searching some information about this game i used to play a lot on my NMS.
It was a cartrigde. But there was a book with instruction in the box?
Maybe some information about the plot?

Thanks for anyone who could give me some information on that game.

See you!

PS: sorry for my english, I am just a french man

Polaris, your english is very good
But don't take my word for it : I am french speaking also !!
Unfortunately, I cannot help you on that game, although I am also interested in knowing how to play this game.

Bonsoir et à bientôt !

Maybe some nice hints:

Did you know that, at the map, you can have a pre-emptive "look" into the purple, yellow and red "enemy-batches" to see which enemy types they contain?
This is done by moving your cursor over them and pushing [SHIFT] (or button B on your bâton du plaisir ofcourse)...

Also, you can select which stage (1-12) to start at the title screen using [UP] and [DOWN].

You can't destroy the M-SHIP without L-3WAY and R-3WAY.
Also, try to get MISSILES as soon as possible.

Finally, you can always retreat in between enemy-batches in case you sustained too much damage.
Before attacking a "wave", select WARP instead of MISSILE.
This way, you can return to one of your bases (blue) to reload your shield and fuel.
Just make sure that you don't stall to much, thus allowing any enemy-batch to draw too close to one of your bases, else it costs a lot of money to repair the damage.

If you want to, I can give some more tips.

Greetings,

John

Geez, does a guy using a nickname like "DemonSeed" in reality have an ordinary name like "John"?

Almost right.

I'm actually called DemonSeed, but my friends nicknamed me "John" because that sounds less evil.

Hi john!

Thanks for all that tips, i allready master the use of strategic mars.
Homing is also a good weapon against the M-Ship but expensive.
I am really looking toward someone who can provide me the manual.
But if you got other tips i am ready to hear them...

Thanks again and see you.

Hi!

I have two other question about this game: when you are docked on earth or an outpost there is a string called "DEFENCE" that is always 100 %...
Does that as something to do with the status of the base you are docked at?
Does the "REPAIR" option for 3000 has something to do with that?

Since i play this game i have never seen the defence goes under 100%...
Is it an unfinished feature of this game?

Thanks you much for someone who can help.
see you.
