MEGA-APOCALYPSE
Martech Games / Electronic Arts


Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of a mega-advanced shoot 'em up for your
mega-computer.
(Has it loaded yet? If the answer is Yes - skip the next paragraph.)

It is a very strange Universe really - isn't it? All those millions of
planets and moons and stars and comets swirling about in the vastness
of space. Imagine what fun it would be to explore - to boldly go where
no boldly goer had boldly gone before - unless they happened to live
there. Latest research from the Institute of Advanced Research (I.A.R.)
indicated (... loaded yet???) that there are quite a lot of planets
with things living on them. Some of these things are pretty intelligent
like us really. (God this is awful!) Other of these things are really
stupid, like whelks, for example. Anyway, to cut a long story short,
you have been selected to explore the Universe, boldly seeking out
strange and exciting new worlds. If you find any, your instructions
are quite clear. BLAST THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you set off in your remarkably fast and powerful spacecraft - your
mind is tingling with excitement. Slowly you hurtle at excessive
speeds into the void - blasting a stray comet into a million
shimmering pieces! But what's this (... there's more!! c'mon tape
turbo - get on with it).

Your world is suddenly filled with highly useful objects floating
aimlessly in front of you. Things like missiles, rotate motors,
speed-up thrusts (I ask you ... is this likely!) shields and - yep -
extra lives. Frantically, you try to capture them. But what's this!!!
(... Again?) Someone else is also trying to grab the goodies. His
shield is impervious to your laser bolts. Oh No! And what's this? It's
an enormous and highly populated planet ...
WHAM!!! BLAM!!! KERPOW!!! WOW!!! It's Mega-Apocalypse.

Have fun!!!
