Energy Warrior
Its the year 2079, the earth is in sad shape as a result of neglect and
chemical erosion. Its people have been decimated by plagues. The few remaining
areas of natural beauty are very precious to those people who remain. You are
the reserve warden, responsible for the maintenance of three of the biggest of
these remaining areas, a forest, a set of oceanic islands and a rocky desert.
The reserves are maintained by aura energy generators, buried deep below the
ground. Unfortunately the Star Cygnis Alpha has gone supernova. One of the
planets that had circled it was home to the Wavaren. Since their home was
lost, they plan to live on your reserve.
Each of the three regions are divided in ten areas. These areas are self
contained and zoned off by force fields. They are kept pristine with their own
power supply of aura energy. It is your job to clear all areas of aliens. Once
an area is cleared of aliens, it will seal off and no other aliens will be
able to enter it. If the aliens succeed in reducing the aura energy of an area
to zero, then the area will die. If you let three areas die in any region, you
will be terminated.
The game provides a Status Control. At any time during the game you want to
receive information on the other areas within a region, press the space bar
and the game will pause allowing you to review the information on the display
console.
Patrol the areas in your J.O.S. fighter. Your fighter has powerful beam lasers
that fire forwards and a limited number of blitz bombs that explode all aliens
on the screen. But if your craft runs out of power, the game is over. Using
your joystick, maneuver your fighter to chase down and destroy the enemy.
Killing a slave robot will cause it to leave a bonus behind. The various
bonuses are: more craft power, more area aura energy, blitz bombs, ext level
and a mystery bonus. Some choices will be hard, grab a bonus to keep you alive
or grab one to keep the region alive.
