Your screen is divided into three sections. Each one shows you vital mission data: _______________________________ GAUGES A. |-----> | A | Energy Shield | |---------|---------------------| Photon Torp. | | | | Warp Drive |-----> | A | B | <----b. Radar | | | Scanner | | | |---------|---------------------| | | <----C. Viewer | C | |-------------------------------| Shield Force> | D | Indicator ------------------------------- A. GUAGES - Tracks your score (Strategy Training Units) and monitors Enterprise defenses and weapons. Energy Shields (green squares) and Warp Drives (blue lines) are your two defenses. Photon Torpedoes (red squares) and Phasers (not shown on guage) are your two weapons. Energy Shields - Activate automatically; protect Enterprise from enemy fire and damage. Warp Drives - Activate by pushing red fire button while pulling back joystick to gain high-speed maneuverability. Photon Torpedoes - Pull joystick back to destroy enemies in direct path of your Starship. Phasers - Activate unlimited number to destroy only one enemy at a time by pushing fire button. B. RADAR SCANNERS - Your overhead view of the battle zone. Shows you the position of the Enterprise and your Starbase while it maps the constantly changing location of obstacles and enemies. C. VIEWER - Simulates a 3-D view of the enemy and obstacle encounters. It's the view from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. D. SHIELD FORCE INDICATOR - The band at the bottom of your screen changes color alerting you to the status of your Energy Shields. * Yellow - 3 or more shields available. * Orange - 2 shields in operation. * Light Red - 1 shield remaining. * Dark Red - ALERT! Starship Defenses Down! GAME PLAY - Now you are ready to play STAR TREK. The game is divided into ten Sectors (different skill levels). Each Sector has six different rounds. 1. Klingon Encounter 4. Klingon Encounter 2. Klingon Encounter 5. Klingon Encounter 3. Asteroid Field or Meteor Shower 6. NOMAD Guide the Enterprise safely through a round of play and you automat- ically enter the next one. After surviving all six rounds in a sector, you automatically move to the next. As you advance, your enemies become more aggressive and dangerous and your victories more rewarding! KLINGON ENCOUNTERS - In your quest to destroy NOMAD, you must first survive the attacks of the Klingon Battle Cruisers and Anti-Matter Saucers. The enemy vessels have the following characteristics: The Red Klingons ignore the Enterprise but try to destroy the Starbases. If a Red Klingon destroys a Starbase it turns white and sets out to ram the Enterprise. The Purple Klingons seek to destroy the Enterprise with Plasma Energy Orbs. They will keep enough distance from the Enterprise to avoid collision while attacking. When Red Klingons turn white, Purple Klingons also turn white and try to ram the Enterprise. Yellow Anti-Matter Saucers appear randomly. If the saucer collides with the Enterprise, it attaches itself to the ship and drains all Warp Drive Energy. All defenses and weapons are available for use during Klingon Encounters. If you dock with green Starbases, (by flying into them), damage to the Enterprise is repaired. An Energy Shield, a Photon Torpedo, and a Warp Drive unit are added to your Starship's armory, if needed. You may dock with a Starbase only once in each round. After docking, the Starbase changes from green to blue. ASTEROID FIELDS / METEOR SHOWERS After surviving two rounds of Klingon Encounters and random attacks from Anti-Matter Saucers, your Starship must maneuver through Asteroid Fields or Meteor Showers, seeking Starbases. Asteroids and Meteors move across your screen from left to right, faster than the Enterprise. replenish your supplies as you prepare for your ultimate challenge! NOMAD is your greatest danger. His destruction is your greatest victory! You must hunt down and destroy NOMAD while avoiding its deadly missles and the mines it lays in your path. If you strike a mine or are hit by one of NOMAD's missles, your supplies are depleted. Skillful maneuvering and rapid fire of your Phasers are the key to your success. If you destroy NOMAD, the screen flashes a spectrum of colors and you receive maximum bonus points. Your Starship advances to the first round of the next, more difficult Sector. Remember, your success means safety for the Federation! STRATEGIC TIPS Ater playing STAR TREK several times, you'll discover which techniques work best for you. Here are some tips you will find helpful in your mission: THE KLINGON ENCOUNTER * Keep the Enterprise moving - Klingons can't easliy destroy a moving target. * Store up Photon Torpedoes for later sectors when enemy Klingons are more numerous. * Learn how to get Klingons to persue the Enterprise in a line, and easily destroy them with one Photon blast. THE ANTI-MATTER SAUCER * It always moves away from the Enterprise; to destroy it, make a swift about-face and fire away. YOUR STARBASES * Dock with your Starbase in early rounds to build supplies for more difficult rounds. * Try NOT to dock in later rounds for increased bonus STU's. ASTEROID FIELD / METEOR SHOWER * You can only use your Enterprise steering controls. * Wind your way through obstacles by lightly moving joystick left or right to turn and immediately let Enterprise center itself. * Only for wide sweeping turns should you HOLD the joystick left or right. * During this round, relax and replenish Enterprise supplies and prepare for NOMAD. NOMAD * Be patient, observe MOMAD's movements. * NOMAD has a tendency to place mines in a cluster, steer carefully towards the mines to trak NOMAD. * Avoid hitting or shooting mines, they will explode and deplete your supplies. * Effective use of Warp Drive can allow you to position yourself near NOMAD.
