CETI 21 

The Story:

After a successful discovery of a moon, CETI 21. Planet Earth transported only the good members of the human race to this planet. The bad people were left to perish on Earth's decaying soil. However there were problems that lied ahead on CETI 21. Although the moon was owned by the humans. Aliens were able to attack against mankind.

Luckily, humans built defence systems, which operate through the core command centre inside at the Sentinel Security Plant. Should any alien ship approach the planet, our defence systems will obliterate it. 

For many years this defence system was highly successful. That was until last night, while our system was undergoing an OS update. The computer crashed. Our defences got shut down. The aliens managed to pursue their way past through the Sentinel Security plant. Now they have reached the central core of the centre and rigged out defence systems. A new super computer was built. Instead of protecting us. The defence systems have now turned against us. It is no longer safe for the humans to go outside of their own settlements. A new war has begun!

Luckily we have build a new drone, ULTRAX 18, in which no humans need to fly inside the transport. It is a fast low-level flying, and fast laser firing aircraft. Only one person can control this aircraft. That is of course YOU!

 There is hope that one day we are saved once more. You must save us!

PLAYING THE GAME

This is a game for 1 player only. You can use any joystick port for your C64 gaming device.

The object of this game is to guide ULTRAX 18 across three different levels, battling against rogue defences (security defences that turned against you) and the aliens, that approach you. Collect 'P' marked pods for bonus points. 2,000 points in fact. That could push you further towards gaining extra drones.

There are three different zones in which to battle across:

OUTSIDE ON CETI 21

You start outside ULTRAX HQ, in which your drone was manufactured. You have to fly across the moon base. Battle your away against moving alien ships, rogue 4 way firing tanks. Also you must battle against the black defence devices, which have turned against you. At the end of this stage (Should you go far enough), you must fight or survive a battle against a alien giant space ship. 15 hits will destroy it.

SENTINEL SECURITY PLANT

After successfully defeating the alien space craft. You will enter Sentinel Security plant. A high security plant, with very high walls. Avoid crashing into those walls, else a drone will be wasted. Out to stop you are yet more aliens, rogue devices, and a high voltage electro pulses. At the end of this stage, you will have to fight or survive against a giant alien security device. 15 Shoots will destroy it once more.
THE CENTRAL CORE

The final stage in your mission is the underground core centre of Sentinel Security. You must locate and destroy 3 systems of the mainframe computer. Before you can do that. You must continue to fight against more aliens, and robobugs. Avoid crashing into any high-voltage electric wires or walls. Also watch out for more security devices and fight robobugs. 

If you destroy the mainframe computer, the aliens would have had enough and peace will be restored on CETI 21.

BONUS POINTS

To score a large sum of points, you need to defeat giant aliens, and/or collect 'P' pods. Every pod gives you 2000 points. Which is something very handy, should you want extra lives awarded.

EXTRA DRONES

For every 10,000 points scored, you will be awarded extra drones.

PENALTIES

While playing this game. As well as bonus points, from killing large aliens, and collecting pods. There are also an automatic life-loss situation. As a penalty, every drone, parked on the runway shot will result to a life deducted from the lives counter. If the counter shows no lives, and the drone is not in spawn mode. It will self destruct, and the game will be over.
