Game Introduction

The lower half of the screen looks like the blue surface of a moon or planet. There are men lined up the right side of the screen and alien ships fly out, swirl around the screen and eventually try to grab the men. The ships fly up the side and then across the top where you have a chance to shoot them and reclaim your man. At the end of the level the men from the side of the screen are counted and you are given bonus points for each one remaining. When the men are grabbed from the side they say "Help Me! Help Me!" and if you save them from the alien ships it says "Very Good". The aliens also taunt you with "We'll be back" -- all of this being in a monotone and cheap sounding voice. It also says "Lucky!" for each man that the aliens did not grab.
