I can't help her...She's breaking up...She's breaking
up!!...CRACKLE...
After JETMAN's poorly assembled multi-stage rocket
started to disintegrate in warp space, he manages to crash
land on a strange undiscovered world, inhabited by
hundreds of restless aliens intent on the total destruction
of the planet Earth.
Desperate to regain the lost minerals, the aliens initialise their
ancient attack mechanisms. All around, huge missile installa-
tions erupt from deep within the bounds of the planet, sur-
rounded by their own strategic defence stations. Their huge
linoleum shelled missiles glisten in the distant sunlight as the
multitronic warheads auto-arm and poise for attack.
With no hope of help from the nearby and unaware Earth,
JETMAN has to destroy all of the installations single-handed
before the imminent destruction of his home planet. Using only
his Hyperglide Moon Rover to carry the strange equipment and
supply Bridging units, with any other equipment he can find to
complete his mission.
Pity he can't find the operation manuals!
