How to Play the Game
Start by selecting one or two players on the Game Select Screen. The Player
Select Screen lets you choose to be either Ricky or Mary. Once you've made your
choice, the game begins. There are seven rounds (each round is a different
ship). Each ship holds 12 captives. After you've freed all the captives on one
ship, the EXIT door opens to let you into the alien leader's room. Defeat the
boss and its henchmen and you'll advance to the next ship for more exciting
action.
Extra Lives and Time Limits
You start out with 4 lives. Every time you add 100,000
points, you get another life. There's no time to waste as you rescue the
hostages. You lose one life when time runs out or when you get hit by aliens.
When there are no lives left, the game is over. Map Screen Throughout each ship
are plates marked "MAP". Touch one and a map of the spaceship's layout
will appear. Your position is marked in blue; the captives, in red. ---
"Power up" items Each spaceship comes with lots of different objects.
They'll power you up with super weapons. W - Warp: You can transport from one
place to another within a spaceship.
? - Secret: You receive bonus points.
FB- Fireball: A powerful ball of fire that can wipe out more than one alien
monster.

once.
