How to Save the Universe

	When the opening screen appears, displaying a neo-revutionary portrait of the savage Genghis Khan, press the Start Button.
	Next, press Select Button to choose whether to guide your starfighter with Attack Control A or Attack Control B. If you select Control A, press the Control Pad in all directions (in a circular motion) to command your craft. If you select Control B, only press Left and Right to rotate through the stars.
	Finally, press the Start Button. Now you're moments away from an all-out confrontation with the Gyrsuian forces of doom. All told, there are 39 zaptifying stages you must battle through. Unfortunately, you only have 4 ships to begin with.
	Once into an orbit of cosmic combat, your mission is to free the 9 planets in our solar system- for those of you who flunked astronomy, those planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Between each planet are 3 Warp Zones loaded with alien attackers and unbridled terror. There are also Challenge Stages (for bonus points, extra ships and Ultra-Lazonic booster pods) that you must blast through.
	Ultimate victory will occur only after you free the solor system's life-generating Sun.

Life Sustaining Weapons

	Initially you're equipped with a solo firing Neo-Tutonic Cannon. But in the heat of battle, Bonus Spheres attached to inter-galactic mines will appear. Blast the mines and then fire into the center of the Bonus Sphere for dual Neo-Bomb-Blastic Cannons. Also, for every bonus sphere destroyed, you'll gain a booster pod for your Ultra-Lazonic Phase bank. Each of these booster pods allows you one phaser firing (you can accumulate up to 7 booster pods). The phaser is an all encompassing destructive device, so be advised to use it wisely.

Dueling with the Aliens

	The secret to your success is to remember that the Gyrusians can only shatter your ship if they're firing or attacking from the middle of the solar system screen. Your survival chances will multiply ten fold if you waste them before they center themselves into standard Gyropian battle formation.
	Be forewarned to not only avoid the attacking deathships, but also a slew of perilous projectiles- including the practally indestructible amoeba and the absolutely indestructible meteors.
