2. THE GAME
========
The alien is advancing onto Earth, their only interest is
victory. They have launched a massive attack onto major
military base. You are given the assignment to protect the
Base.
Your only weapon is the Super Gun. Launch your explosive ammo
and detonate them in the sky to destroy incoming alien's missiles.
You have limited ammo at "\
your disposal, so use it wisely. The number of ammo you
have is indicated below the Super Gun.
As you managed to counteract each of the enemy attack,
they will become angrier. Each subsequent attack will be
more intense than the last. Watch out for enemy report.
The central Gun computer can only control 5 ammo at any one
time, and you can only detonate the ammo above the safety
height.
Each Barrack and Gun base can take a maximum of 3 hits
before it is destroyed. 'Damage indicator' is located below
each base. The maximum hit is selectable at the start of the
game.
Be prepared... this battle will last day and night.

destroyed.
