Why are you out in space conquering space aliens and what does a worm hole have
to do with anything?

Well, the story goes like this...

While exploring uncharted space, you were accidently sucked into a worm hole.  
Your ship was transported to another galaxy where you are considered the ENEMY.
You will come across many alien races who, out of there own fear, will do 
everything in there power to destroy you and your ship.


PLAYING THE GAME:
Enemy shots damage your shields.  Try to shoot the enemies as soon as possible,
or they will track you down and ram your ship.  this will cause more damage 
than their shots.  With a little practice, You should be able to out manuever 
enemy ships. 
 
Some enemies take multiple shots to destroy.  Periodically an enemy will drop
ENERGY PODS or MEGA-BOMBS when they are killed.  Energy pods increase your 
total stored energy.  Mega-Bombs can wipe out an entire wave of enemy ships.
You can store up to 5 MEGA-BOMBS for use in emergency situations.

At the begining of each level you are given full energy.  Energy can be used
several different ways.  When you fire repeatedly, you will drain a small amount
of energy.  This can be replenished by not firing for a while.  The shield will
drain energy from your reserves each time you are hit.  When your energy runs 
low you cannot take many hits without being destroyed.

SPACE PILOT has a Rookie mode for new pilots who want to learn the tricks to 
becoming veteran pilots.  To enter Rookie mode, from the main screen enter "R"
for ROOKIE GAME or use the arrow keys to highlight your choice and hit ENTER.
