NorthStar

Right-scrolling Exolon-type game with nice color graphics and

animation. Ten levels.

Alone it stands, majestic and proud... the final hope to Earth's

savagery and overpopulation ... North Star, a glorious space

station orbiting serene tranquility, too much tranquility ...

preparation should be underway for the final evacuation.

Communications are dead, scientists cannot be raised ...

a dreadful gloom overtakes the population ... has their last

hope gone? Only one can find out, only one has the necessary

powers. That one is you ... a unique being on a mission to

rescue a unique project.

The NORTHSTAR PROJECT, the most highly classified operation ever

to be undertaken by the four Earth-Lords, has gone tragically

wrong....

The year was 2499 and an over-populated Earth was grasped in

starvation. Man fought against man, desperate for food. A meeting

was called and the Earth-Lords decided upon an elaborate plan of

action. A space station would be built. Not an ordinary space

station; it would not hold just 10,20 or even 100 people, but

thousands upon thousands. There they Would be able to produce

foods high in nutritional value, very efficiently and most

importantly very quickly.

The building started and daily flights of scientists and equipment

were sent up. As the years went by the steady flow of flights with

their large loads accelerated the project almost to the point of

completion - until one day when a flight left but never returned.

The station, now called NORTHSTAR was paged from Earth, but there

was no reply.

You have been appointed to fly to NORTHSTAR to find out what is

going on and to resolve any problems you may find.

Arriving on NORTHSTAR you find that the station has been over-run

by an alien hoard. No human survivors can be seen anywhere - are

they really all dead? You notice that the life-support systems are

inoperative, only your robotic implants prevent you from suffocation.

Now your task becomes clear. You must destroy these alien life-forms

and re-activate the life support systems by making your way to the

NORTHSTAR project centre.
