THE year is 2036. After decades of endeavour Man has built his first space base — in the asteroid belt. The belt, rich in minerals and ore, is being mined to replenish Earth's dwindling stock. Space Base is the mineral storage depot for long-haul cargo ships to Earth. It also allows the mining ships to re-fuel and gives their crews a chance for well earned rest. However, hostile alien craft from the Andromeda galaxy are also mining the belt and will stop at nothing to prevent any competition from Earth. As Base Commander, your task is to defend the base from attack using its four laser guns. The aliens often come in waves, so be careful not to let your laser overheat during an attack or you will not be able to use it until it has cooled down. Good luck Commander! You're going to need it.
