It carried a plaque informing extra-terrestrial beings of the whereabouts of the planet Earth. In 3021AD Pioneer returns aboard an alien space craft wanting to contact Earth. Unfortunately, Steg pirates have boarded and disabled the craft, resulting in the ship's computer setting the self-destruct mechanism. You are the first person to reach the ship after it has crash-landed on Earth. You have a limited time to disarm the self-destruct mechanism before it destroys the planet. On evacuation the alien crew have left behind various weapons and objects which will help you with your mission. They will be revealed by solving and completing the various tasks but you must hurry. Good luck... STATUS PANEL The multi-coloured line at the top of the screen gives your energy. At the bottom of the screen on the left is your score, in the middle the countdown timer and on the right the high score value. The window in the centre of the panel is the weapon and object status.
