Martianoids – Ultimate Cassette Inlay

Far beyond the Orion Nebula flies a vast Robot ship on a thousand year quest to find new forms and gather knowledge of the Galaxy. The ship was sent on its mission by the Markon Empire and is called “The Markon Dawn” as its return will mark the dawn of a new age for the Markon Dynasty.
Installed on this ship was the largest and most powerful computer the Markons had ever created. With great pride they called this computer “The Brain of Markon”.

You are the Guardian of The Brain of Markon.

Your Ultimate mission is to defend, maintain and activate The Brain in the event of attack by unfriendly Aliens.

GOOD LUCK… YOU WILL NEED IT.

The Mission:

After a long journey with only routine maintenance to do, Markon is suddenly attacked by vicious and barbaric Aliens…THE MARTIANOIDS.

The Martianoids:

The MARTIANOIDS enter your ship, disrupting the passage of programs as they are transmitted through The Brain of Markon, draining your battery in desperate suicidal attacks to destroy you and your ship.

Their Photon Weapons pass through the internal parts of The Brain destroying all Active Components in their path.

Your task is to guide the program from the Transmitter to the Receiver in each sector. When a program is received the internal defenses are activated, thus preventing any further damage in that sector of The Brain.

Beware of Disposal Chutes as your program will fall down these and be lost. If all the Active Components in each sector are destroyed then, the sector is destroyed and can no longer be repaired or activated.

Spare Batteries are located around The Brain for you to use when your charges become low. To defend yourself you have Lasers which destroy internal walls, Active Components, Replacement Cones and Aliens.

To help you in your mission, your Console displays a map which shows your position within The Brain, the position of the program and the status of each sector. Red indicates the sector has been destroyed, White that has been activated and flashing Red and Yellow indicates a sector under attack.

Also your Console displays messages to tell you what is happening within The Brain.
