			A long time ago,
			in a galaxy far, far away



			IT IS A DARK TIME FOR
			THE REBELS. THE EMPIRE HAS
			LAUNCHED THOUSANDS OF PROBOTS	
			IN SEARCH OF THE REBEL HIDEOUT.
			THE EMPIRE FEAR THE STRENGTH OF
			THE FORCE WITHIN ONE REBEL.
			... LUKE SKYWALKER ...
		



Instructions
------------

Stage 1 - Probe Droids

The empire has launched thousands of imperial probe droids to discover the
location of the rebel base. Your task is to shoot them down before they discover
the power generator. Once a probe droid has located the generator, it will start 
to transmit (emit transmitting sound as well as flash). Destroy these within 10 
seconds or the empire will know of you existance and launch its second attack

Plasma shots    	     =    25
Probe Droid	   	     =   150
Probe Droid (Transmitting)   = 1,500



Stage 2 - Imperial Walkers

Take on the walking behemoths and prevent them from destroying the power generator.
These creatures are equipped with an advaced sheild technology, leaving only 2 
vunerable spots. The head (front visor only) and the legs. The head can be destroyed 
with 10 well placed hits. The front legs can be taken out with a single tow cable.
Aiding the AT-ATs are the smaller, but just as aggresive AT-STs. Again, their armour
is inpenatrable except for the front visor. 5 direct visor shots will kill this chicken
beast. You can gain additional bonus point by flying between the legs of the AT-ATs.

Plasma shots    	     =    25
AT-ST (head shot)            =    25
AT-ST (destroyed)            = 1,000
AT-AT (head shot)            =    50
AT-AT (destroyed)            = 5,000
AT-AT (tow cabled)           = 2,500

Trick flying                 = 1,000 , 2,000 , 4,000 , 8,000 etc


Stage 3 - Tie Attack

The imperial forces are attempting to hinder your escape ! Face the fleet Head taking 
on squadrons of tie fighters.

Plasma shots    	     =    25
Tie Fighter                  = 1,000
Tie Bomber                   = 1,500


Stage 4 - The Asteroid belt

Avoid the asteroids at all costs. Lasers are useless against these chunks of rock, so just 
sit back and dodge, dodge, dodge ! Remeber, the chances of successfully navigating 
an asteroid feild are approximatly 3720 : 1 !!!


JEDI letters are awarded for completeing various things thru each wave. Shooting 
a number of enemies or simply surviving the wave (asteroids)


For collecting all four JEDI letters you will be awarded 50,000


Good luck, and may the force be with you ... always.
