BOSCONIAN 87
The time had come at last. The domination of the Orbitals had to end, and this was the only chancer. It was time for mankind to regain their place as the rulers of Earth, Therefore the petty states that were left after the aliens had destroyed the old order in the disastrous "Rock War" - when they had rained meteoric destruction down on Earth from their orbiting Spacestations - had put aside their differences for one final effort to regain their independence. They had built a space-worthy Starfighter and equipped it with the best technology that they could acquire. Of course the aliens withheld their most sophisticated devices, that was how they kept the world enslaved. However, due to the secret nature of the project, only one such craft could be built- The Aliens must not be allowed to let their dreaded missiles loose again. Your mission is tofiy the only space craft available to destroy the orbital Spacestations. This is the last chance for the people of Earth, for their orbiting masters will never again allow them even this slim chance to regain their freedom. You must not fail! Be careful, space is full of debris and mines. The aliens have plenty of fighter craft, and they are faster than yours! Only a true hero can save the Earth!
