- DEXTERITY SOFTWARE presents JUMPSTAR
-
-
- OVERVIEW
- --------
- Late in the 21st century, human beings discovered the JumpStar just beyond
- their own solar system. By flying a ship into it, a pilot could traverse
- astronomical distances in seconds, visiting remote areas of our galaxy
- never before realized. At last the terrans could travel outside the Sol
- system, make contact with other advanced alien races, and enter a new age
- of scientific discovery.
-
- Humans, however, were not the only species to take notice of the JumpStar.
- Several devious alien worlds had begun sending hostile ships through their
- own JumpStars into the Sol system, attempting to cut off all terran access
- to the rest of the galaxy, bottling the humans inside their own system.
- Many terran ships were lost in the battles which followed, and the enemies
- of Sol began to gain the upper hand. Terran ships were being destroyed
- almost as fast as they could be built, and it looked like the humans might
- never be able to recover. Rumors spread that several of the alien species
- blockading the JumpStar were beginning to team up to conquer earth, to
- strip the planet and split its valuable resources between them. The terran
- scientists back on earth had devised a means to seal the JumpStar
- permanently, but they considered it only a last resort to keep the intruders
- out of their system.
-
- This desperate situation called for a desperate measure. The humans sent
- all of their remaining ships to the JumpStar in a do or die attempt to
- permanently oust the invaders from the Sol system. The fierce space battle
- resulted in high casualties for both sides, so much that every human ship
- was destroyed save one, but the humans were victorious. Since the intruders
- will soon be sending along additional reinforcements which could easily
- overpower the last of the terran fleet, there is only one option left.
- That last terran ship must fly through the JumpStar to the attacking worlds
- and seal the alien Jumpstars from the other side, preventing the invaders
- from ever threatening earth again. You are the pilot of that last ship,
- brave of heart, quick of reflexes, and heroic by nature. Tighten your
- harness and prepare for battle as you fly into the heart of the Jumpstar.
- The fate of the human race is in your hands! Are you ready for the
- challenge?
