Protect & Destroy!
Ten years ago, after the devastating robot wars of 2084 caused mankind to seek out new sources of minerals and fuel on other planets in the solar system, the first source located was on Jupiter’s moon IO.

A handful of brave people were despatched to IO to mine the moon and send the valuable minerals back to earth. Shortly after their arrival, a previously unknown alien intelligence on Jupiter, decided to destroy the human invaders plundering their moon and so despatched their most hostile fighting machines to wipe them out.

Now, in 2095, they have managed to establish a base on 3 more of Jupiters moons, known as Callisto, Ganymede and the ice moon Europa. They are slowly winning the battle in the hope that they will one day defeat the aliens’ command center on Jupiter and return to Earth as heroic space warriors with their valuable cargo.

YOUR MISSION starts on IO. You must destroy all the aliens you encounter, whilst protecting the ten people assigned to each moon. Rescue the people by taking them to the Dropzone landing pad alongside the single survival colony. Survive past all 4 moons and you will have earned your reward of being trans-warped back home to earth, 500 million miles away, to a hero’s welcome.

You have a heavily armed jet-pack with a range of powerful weapons and a limited duration indestructible cloaking device. On each level you must collect the Bonuses and Powerups to get the special weapons, vital to your survival.

There are ten levels of action per moon followed by a final planet guardian. If you get past that you will warp on to the next moon. If you defeat all the aliens on all four moons you will end up on Jupiter itself, where you will face one almighty final onslaught and the mother of all planet guardians. If you survive past all of this you will have earned your reward of being trans-warped back home to our beautifull blue earth, 500 million miles away.

Failure to keep at least one person alive on the surface or in the Dropzone base, will result in the volcano stabiliser becoming disfunctional causing massive eruptions all over the moonscape, making your survival onto the next moon much more difficult.
