| | Cassette Cover Game Description | In 5112 the universe as we know it no longer exists. The Earth, as a result of constant wars has been reduced to a charred land mass which is no longer able to support any planet of animal life whatsoever. During the interstellar Space Wars of the Fourth Millenium, the Earth's defence systems had been completely destroyed by the enemy and there had never been enough people, materials or money to produce more armanents, so the Earth had become a sitting target.
The humans who had managed to survive the wars led a miserable life housed in Government shelters, surviving on food supplies which could stop at any time. Life really wasn't much fun! Everyone was just waiting for the enemy to make their final and inevitable decision to destroy the planet completely - and of course all its human inhabitants. However as it's not fun attacking a planet which has no possible means of defending itself they hadn't got round to doing it yet.
Fortunately before all this actually happened, the brilliant Dr Corgill of the W.A.T.N. Laboratories managed to organise an airlift of all the surviving humans. Exactly where he was planning to airlift them was a matter to be sorted out at a later date, in the meantime the important part of the operation was to get the people off Earth as quickly as possible.
The vast civilian carriers took off into space, without a specific destination in mind. The aim was to find somewhere as similar to Earth as possible. However as the weeks became months and the search became more and more desperate, the decision was finally made to travel through the F Dimension, an area of the galaxy about which very little was known.
GAMEPLAY
Your role is as Captain Paul Squires, ace pilot and all round good guy, and it's your duty to protect the civilians from any dangerous life forms they may come up against in the F Dimension. You will fly over the carrier in your sector blasting away at anything that moves and even those things which don't! After two passes over the carrier you will be confronted by the dimension matter transporter coder! Try to shoot at the letters which confront you in the right order so that you reveal the hidden password. Don't worry if you don't manage to get the complete word the first time, you will get the opportunity to get another shot at it.
Most of all - Be careful out there!
CONTROLS
Joystick only |
| |
| | Passwords | You have to pass each level twice, then pass the bonus level to reach the letters.
Shoot the letters in the correct order to "type" the password. When a correct letter is shot, it will be shown on the bottom of the screen next to PASSWORD. If an incorrect letter is shot, the entire password is erased.
Without an emulator, it's impossible to shoot all letters in one try, so you have to "finish" each level at least twice.
Passwords:
| Level 00 | JUNE | | Level 01 | APRIL | | Level 02 | MARCH | | Level 03 | AUGUST | | Level 04 | JANUARY | | Level 05 | OCTOBER |
From Level 06, the same levels repeat. |

| | Note About Chris Harvey | We previously had Chris Harvey listed as a programmer for this software. However, his comment on Lemon64.com proves he was not involved with the C16 version:
"...I was the progammer on this [C64 version], and yes it was rubbish. I actually did it as a favor for Ray Tredoux (the programmer of the C16 version and a good mate of mine). Mark Cooksey (also a good mate of mine since we hired him to do the Airwolf music). It took me about 2 weeks to bang this out because Mastertronic only wanted the C16 if there was a C64 version coming..."
