- Background
- ----------
- Because of your skill in handling highly manoeverable craft, you are hired
- by the Galactic Mining Association to recover crystals from the open caverns
- of a distant planet.
- You are teleported in to the mines, and you must recover all the crystals
- before your employers open a Warp Gate to let you leave. This will appear
- at the spot where you entered the mine, and you only have a short time to
- reach it.
-
- The caverns are populated by alien creatures protecting their property.

- Scoring
- -------
- You receive points for each crystal you collect, and for each enemy you destroy
- But the real points come in the form of bonuses.
- You get a time bonus at the end of a level, so the faster you complete the level
- the more points you get,
- There are also special bonuses for big points, which you must discover for yourself
-

-
- Enemies/Obstacles
- -----------------
-
- The main denizens of the mines are the Turrets, which track you down and
- fire at you.
- Beware also of loose rocks which tumble should you get near them.
- Further hampering your quest are gravity fields which the aliens have created.
- Some of these will repel your ship if it comes within range, while others
- will attract your ship. Colliding with these fields themselves is harmless,
- but they make your navigation through the tunels more hazardous.
- Later on you will discover many more callenging enemies to defeat or escape,
- like alien craft, proximity mines, Gravity emitters, volcanoes, and homing missiles.
