A.E.

First came Sonys, then Toyotas, and then, from the research labs of
|
|||
|
Mitsubishubuku, the A.E. Designed as a pollution-fighting robot
|
|||
|
intended to save the world, the A.E. slipped through quality control out
|
|||
|
into the unsuspecting universe. While the fate of the Free World does
|
|||
|
not depend upon getting rid of the A.E., they have become a nuisance,
|
|||
|
much like motorcycle gangs or geese on the runway.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Mitsubishubuku Company, in conjunction with Broderbund Software, has
|
|||
|
made this disk available to computer owners to allow us to aid in
|
|||
|
controlling this pest. Note: the A.E. is not an endangered species.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A.E. is the Japanese word for <20>ray<61>, as in Manta Ray or Sting Ray.
|

Instructions:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After you boot the front side of the disk, turn it over and load the
|
|||
|
flip side by pressing the spacebar. If you want ot speed up this
|
|||
|
process, you can skip part of the title screen by pressing the spacebar
|
|||
|
right after the initial boot up.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Controls:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Use joystick or paddle. Press button 0 to start play. Joystick or
|
|||
|
paddle controls left/right movement. Button 0 launches anti-AE blaster
|
|||
|
missiles. Letting go of button 0 causes launched missile to detonate.
|
|||
|
To destroy the waves of AE, you must detonate your missiles directly in
|
|||
|
their path.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Objective:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Your task is to drive these pestering waves of AE from the earth and
|
|||
|
push them far off the planet to the outer wastelands of the known
|
|||
|
universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You start with three missile batteries. There are 8 levels of play as
|
|||
|
you drive the AE deeper and deeper into space. To move onto the next
|
|||
|
level, you must make at least three perfect attacks--more than three as
|
|||
|
you move to advanced levels. A perfect attack is when you annihilate
|
|||
|
every AE in a wave using your missiles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Only when you have pushed the AE all the way up and out of our corner of
|
|||
|
the cosmos, to about 600 billion light years up and to the left of the
|
|||
|
Milky Way, will the finally leave us alone. We hope.
