Aim of the game
Playing as either Jake or Duke, you must rescue Professor Sarah
Bellum and the enslaved hostages before they are turned into Robo-
Zombies. Find and break into the food and bomb lockers to get special
weapons to help you destroy the evil Reptilons.
Game play
The object of the game is to progress through the factories
of Planet X rescuing the hostages and destroying their Reptilon guards.
To activate the elevators you encounter, find the power switch and turn
it on. This will allow you to reach the "Port-O-Matic" and exit the
level.
Around the complex of factories you will find lockers that contain
food, extra energy, more bombs or sometimes special weapons that will
increase your chances of survival. When destroyed, some of the
Reptilons will leave behind green crystals that enhance your "ray
power". The more crystals you collect, the more devastating your
weapon will become.
To rescue the hostages simply run into them and they will be beamed
aboard your rescue ship which is orbiting Planet X. Some of the
hostages, however, have been imprisoned in glass cases. To unlock the
cases you must find the computer console that controls them and
destroy it with your ray gun.
Every three levels you will encounter an Evil Reptilon which can only
be destroyed by continuous shooting and bombing. Watch out - each
Reptilon has its own form of defence! At the end of each factory, you
will be shown a bonus screen where you are rewarded for each freed
hostage on that level. If you have rescued a full shuttle load of
hostages you are awarded an extra bar of energy.

A tongue-in-cheek and rather entertaining game!
