Their mission: destroy Earth! In remote corners of the globe, these evil invaders have built four land bases -- each designed to drain Earth's energy and "feed" it to their space station. In just a few days, the power drain will be complete. Then the alien space station will vaporize Earth with a deadly laser blast. Only you can stop the horror! You must fight the alien forces, destroy the enemy bases and blow up the alien space station. But how? Our top scientists have created a special fighter jet just for you -- the F-14VTS. Whether you're soaring over mountain tops at Mach 3, or floating any challenge! It's equipped with a spy satellite viewer that lets you see your plane from above as you fly it. And it's loaded with incredible [Page 4] weapons! Addition firepower is available at your own space station! Nobody said it would be easy! These devious alien will attack you with everything they've got -- from conventional planes and tanks to the most bizarre alien weaponry. You must be ready for anything! After destroying the enemy bases, you face your final challenge: the dreaded alien space station. There's only one weapon powerful enough to destroy it -- the top-secret Neutron Cannon. Unfortunatley, our scientists haven't finished developing it yet! They're working like crazy underground caverns to complete the project, but they need your help! (As if you didn't have enough to do!) You must drop much needed supplies to them before the secret weapon can be completed. Have fun Captain! It's time to fry smoe aliens!

You will encounter a variety of hostile aircraft and ground forces trying to shoot you down. Earn points and extra lives by blasting the various enemy forces. An enemy land base consists of 5 heavily armored domes that are joined together. The center dome has a protective force field which cannot be destroyed until all the other domes have been blown up. When the entire base has been destroyed, you will automatically proceed to the next part of your mission. SPEED CONTROL: During various land base battles, an enemy chase plane will suddenly appear. At this time, your plane's speed control will be activated automatically. Use the speed control to help avoid this plane. To vary your speed, do the following: * To decrease speed -- Press the SELECT BUTTON while pressing the control pad down. * To increase speed -- Press the SELECT BUTTON while pressing the control pad up. [Page 12] [Destroy Enemy Fighter Planes]__________________________________ In 8 of the missions you must shoot down enemy fighter jets in air-to-air combat! You could be flying over calm ocean waters, a barren desert, a polar ice cap or who knows what! But wherever you find yourself -- be alert! There could be a bogey on your tail -- and a heat-seeking missile! Use the square box in front of your plane to aim at enemies. Then use cannon fire or your Phoenix missiles to shoot down as many enemy planes as possible. Remember, you have a limited supply of missiles! Try to earn as many points as possible without getting shot down, you also earn 1 credit toward buying weapons at your space station. [Page 13] [Space Station Docking]________________________________________ After successfully completing a mission, you will return to your space station to buy additional weapons. Your plane will automatically approach the space station and drift toward the top of it. Before you can enter the space station, you must position the plane directly in front of the rotating docking bay. HOW TO DOCK: Lightly tap the control pad down and up until the plane stops exactly in the center of the rotating docking bay. (You may also have to center your plane by moving it left or right.) Press BUTTON B when the rotating bay is exactly horizontal and aligned with the plane's wings. Careful! If your timing is off, you'll miss the entrance and crash. Buying Weapons Once you have successfully entered the space station, the WEAPONS MENU will appear. Use credits earned in battle to buy weapons. Purchase as many weapons as you wish, untily our plane is fully outfitted or you run out of credits. [Page 14] Here's how to buy weapons: 1. SELECT WEAPON CATEGORY: Press the control pad up or down for the weapon catagory you want. Press BUTTON A to select it. A weapons screen will appear. 2. BUY WEAPON: First, make sure you have enough credits to buy the weapon you want. Then press BUTTON A to buy a weapon. Press BUTTON A again to buy additional weapons. Note: If you plane is fully loaded with a particular weapon, you won't be able to buy additional weapons of that type. When you have finished buying a weapon, press the control pad down to select RETURN TO MENU. Then press BUTTON A to return to the menu. Follow the same procedure explained in steps 1 and 2 to purchase other types of weapons. EXIT SPACE STATION: Press the control pad up or down to select Next Mission. Press BUTTON A to exit space station and begin your next mission. [Page 15] [Drop Supplies In Crosses]_______________________________________ Deep in underground caverns, scientists are hard at work on a top-secret weapon! They're nearly finished building a Neutron Cannon -- the only weapon powerful enough to blow up the alien space station. You must drop much-needed supplies to the scientists in missions 2 and 6. DROPPING SUPPLIES: Search for two large crosses on which to drop the supplies. (Along the way, earn points by blasting the various enemy forces.) As your plane approaches a cross, press BUTTON B. You must time your drop exactly or you'll miss your target. If you miss, try again on your next pass over the target. Be sure to keep your eye on the FUEL GAUGE. You may run out of fuel if you pass over your targets too many times. [Page 16] [Pick up Scientist]______________________________________________ During the game, you must find and rescue two scientists. In mission 4, one scientist has the detonation device needed for the secret weapon. In mission 8, the other scientist has the firing mechanism which will activate the secret weapon! Earn points by blasting the various enemy attack forces, as you search for each scientist. An armed perimeter defense system guards the entrance, start blasting away! The center pyramid has a protective force field which cannot be destroyed until the defense system has been blown up. When the center pyramid has been destroyed, the rescued scientist will climb aboard your plane. After you have picked up the scientist in mission, your secret weapon is complete. Soon it will be time to attach the alien space station! [Page 17] [Destroy Alien Space Station]__________________________________ You've done well to get this far, Captain. Now get ready for the final assault! As soon as you approach the alien space station, start firing your secret weapon by pressing BUTTON A. To destroy the station, you must blow up all the outer pods first, and then the center eye. [Page 18] [Entering High Scores]_____________________________________________ At the end of each game, enter you name next to your high score. Here's how: Press the control pad left of right to select the first letter in your name. Then press BUTTON A. Follow the same procedure for the rest of the letters in your name.
