Erebus
/ Virgin Games
1986
Screenshots: « play/stop »
Scenario
Amongst the silent stars is the almost forgotten planet Erebus. Erebus is a natural
planet but has been heavily developed for the refinement of Earth's waste products
into useful gases and chemicals. There is danger in these refinement processes
and Erebus is fully automated, requiring very little intervention from man, except
occasional maintenance.
However, observers of the skies noticed activity around Erebus and further investigation
revealed that special missions from the nearby planet of Hadebus were behaving
suspiciously, especially as they are sworn enemies of Earth! In fact they are
turning the automated refinement processes of Erebus to their own ends to produce
a nerve gas so noxious, once manufactured in quantity the Earth's population could
be obliterated!
You are the chosen to eliminate the Hadeans from the refinery, you need not spare
your laser fire, as these aliens are mortal enemies of Earthlings. So go forth
and purify the universe!
Quick start instructions
To load press Shift and Run/Stop. Joystick Port 1. Joystick to move in four directions,
button to fire. All the aliens are mortal enemies of mankind so kill anything
that moves! Avoid solid or projecting objects. Kill enough aliens to gain access
to the dimension ducts to pass to the next section.
General instructions
The refinery is split into different levels of circular sections interlinked by
dimension ducts. You must completely orbit each section eliminating as many of
the enemy as posible and then you may gain access to the dimension duct. You will
have to fight hard in this 30 second section of the game but it is the only way
to progress to the next section. If you fight well at this point you can gain
an extra life as well as mega points. You must be careful as Erebus is a built-up
planet and you must not collide with any projecting buildings or solid objects.
Control panel
You will see information about your current score, hi-score, the name of the section
you are in and lights depicting how many lives you have. On the right-hand side
of the panel the orbicator shows how far round the section you have got.
