LICENCE
-------
Cosmic Invaders, in all machine readable formats and the
written documentation accompanying them, are copyrighted.
The purchase of Cosmic Invaders conveys to the purchaser
a licence to use Cosmic Invaders for his/her own use and
not for sale or free distribution to others.  No other
licence, expressed or implied, is granted.

WELCOME TO COSMIC INVADERS
--------------------------
1.    TURN OFF POWER SWITCH
2.    Load cartridge into cartridge port.
3.    Plug in joysticks to left and right ports.
4.    Turn on power switch.

When you play this game, a "rack" of invaders (8 x 6) will
appear on the screen.  You must destroy them all before you
are destroyed by a bomb or they reach the earth (bottom of
the screen).  You start the game with four missile bases
and lose one every time you get hit.  The object of the game
is to obtain a high score by destroying as many invaders as
you can.

SCORING
-------
  10 points for each invader in the bottom two rows
  20 points for each invader in the middle two rows
  30 points for each invader in the top two rows
  A 500 point bonus is scored for each rack destroyed.

A mystery invader, worth between 50 and 300 points, appears
at intervals and moves across the back of the screen from
left to right.

There is also a shield which is the blue line just above the
castles. Missiles fired from the base will go through it,
but bombs dropped by the invaders will explode upon impact.
When hit by a bomb, the shield will become inoperative for
a few seconds.

PLAYING THE GAME
----------------
The machine first asks your name, type this and press the
"ENTER" key.  Next, type the level of difficulty you require
(0 is best initially) and press the "ENTER" key again.

Note, that if you do not answer the questions within a few
seconds a computer demonstration of the game starts.  To
escape from this demonstration mode, press the "ENTER" key.
While playing the game, the base is moved by using the right
and left arrow keys and the missiles fired by hitting the
space bar.  The shield is moved using the "1" and "2" keys.
The base can also be moved into hyperspace, i.e. instantly
moved to a random position, by pressing the "Y" key.

If joystick control is desired to control the base and shield,
press the "X" key. Pressing "X" again will return control to
the keyboard. The joystick controls are:-

            Right joystick  - base control
            Right button    - fires missile
            Left joystick   - shield control
            Left button     - puts your base into hyperspace

Dragon Data/Spectral Associates hope you enjoy Cosmic Invaders
as much as we did while creating it.  Have a good time.
