- ***** DAN DARE 2 *****
-
- After more than a year's silence the Mekon stirs again from his
- hideout in deep space. His ambition to be ruler of the Earth has not
- shaken in its resolve.
- This time the Mekon has instigated immense scientific development and
- has produced a new, genetically engineered race..... the SUPERTREENS!
- He has also constructed a spaceship to launch his dastardly creations
- on the Earth and is now on his way! Only Colonel Dan Dare can defeat
- the Mekon and the only way to do it is FACE TO FACE!
-
- DAN'S MISSION
- There are four levels to the Mekon's ship, each level houses deadly
- Supertreens, enclosed in Plexiglass Life Support Bubbles. Dan must
- penetrate all four levels, locate all the Supertreens and sabotage
- their control boxes before the level destruct sequence scatters them
- into the Earth's atmosphere. When all control boxes have been shot,
- Dan has to reach the passage connecting the present level with the
- next one.
-
- MEKONS MISSION
- Like Dan, the Mekon, with the help of his Treens, must also locate all
- the Supertreens. When found, he manually activates their life support
- control boxes and ejects them into space.
-
- LIVES
- The player starts the game on level one with six lives. A life is
- represented on the bottom score panel by a small dot. The game will
- end if either all six lives are lost, or the player is caught on the
- level-destruct blast unprotected. Extra lives are awarded for every
- fifty thousand points scored. Extra energy objects can be picked up
- which will replenish the stamina bar.
-
- ESCAPE FROM THE SPACESHIP
- On level four there is an escape Pod, although it's portable operation
- unit has been moved elsewhere to prevent easy escape. The Pod's
- advanced computer detection system allows only Vesuvian life forms to
- operate it - this may be a huge problem for Dan!
