Try and get as many kills as possible as they can be turned into credits later on so you can upgrade your tank. There are over 20 different weapons and power-ups to destroy your enemies with! There are 12 main levels, 4 End of Level Bosses and 4 stores to upgrade your tank. 2. Main Menu ========== After the Title screen you will see the main menu. The player has the following choices: * Start Game - Starts a new game. * Load Game - Loads a previously saved game. * Credits - Displays the game credits. * Quit Game - Ends the game. Use the mouse to click on your selection. 3. Screen Display ============== TOP LEFT OF SCREEN: Skull & crossbones counter shows the amount of kills made throughout the game.

Weapons/Power-ups ================== During the game weapons and power-ups will be generated on the screen. The player always starts with the default weapon. When new weapons appear on the screen drive over them to collect them, this will automatically upgrade your weapon. Weapon power ups look like containers with a small flashing icon representing the weapon. E.g. 3-Way shot is a container with a '3' on it. If you collect a weapon which has autofire enabled then holding the space bar will continually fire this weapon. On losing a life you will be put back to your default weapon. When you go on to the next level you take your current weapon with you. 6. Upgrading your Tank ================== After each set of three levels you will go to a hardware store to upgrade your tank. The amount of kills you have gained gets turned into credits so you can then purchase weapons and power ups. Use the mouse to select which items you want to buy. If you do not have enough credits to buy anything you will be asked to exit. To exit the store click on the 'Exit' button in the bottom left of the screen. 7. End of Level Bosses ================== After each tank upgrade you will face an End of Level Boss. There is no time limit to this section so you just need to concentrate on killing the boss. The energy level of the boss will appear in the top left of the screen. When the energy of the boss reaches zero you have defeated it. 8. Save/Load Game =============== After each main boss you get the choice to save your progress. A screen will appear asking if you'd like to save your game. Press Y on the keyboard to save your game or press N on the keyboard to just continue. If you save your game and then lose all your lives then when back at the main menu click on LOAD GAME and you will be returned to that point. The Load Game feature still works even if you exit the game and come back to it later on. Contact Information =============== Got a problem with your game? Want some hints and tips on how to play?
