STORM ARROWS

METHOD OF PLAY

Use the right joystick to maneuver your land skimmer throught the treacherous 
streets of Talon Alpha in an effort to evade and destroy the Imperial Storm 
Arrows which pursue you relentlessly. Be aware of the Imperial Pursuit Cruiser 
as it rapidly homes in on you and lays contact mines which, if not destroyed, 
will eventually turn into deadly Storm Arrows. the mines start turning into
Storm Arrows when only one Storm Arrow is left. Press the right joystick button
to fire torpedos - only one torpedo can be on the screen at a time. A dynamic
meter at the top right of the screen indicates the number of torpedos available
each round. A torpedo refueling station will appear at randoml; get it quickly
to recharge a portion of your supply of torpedos.

SCORING

Points for destroying a Storm Arrow start at 50 and increase each round up to
a maximum of 200. For destroyinh a Pursuit Cruiser or capturing the torpedo
refueling station you earn between 200-900 points. Bonus timer points are 
awarded if you complete each round before the round timer goes to zero. The
amount of points you receive is equal to the value of the timer when you finish
the round.
