-
- Z.A.R. is Zone of Artificial Resources. It is used by humans as a
- base for mastering distant space - production factories which
- manufacture space rockets, robots, artificial satellites and other
- "iron" for expansion to other galaxies, controlled by computer
- network. As you've probably already guessed, where there is the
- network, there is the failure of the computer system. If you had
- thought so, you are completely right. The computer's ability to
- error has made Z.A.R. like a death producing factory. Humans have
- decided to return Z.A.R. and have transmitted the spaceship with the
- Hermit (player) onboard with a limited supply of arms.
