INSTRUCTIONS

18       It's  just  like  Galaxian  /  Galaga,  you  know how to play Galaxian/
19       Galaga, stop bothering me.  (Ship  follows  the  mouse,  button  fires.
20       Auto-fire  by  holding  it down, so no-one accuses me of breaking their
21       mouse!)
22
23       The xgalaxy-hyperspace version features some new weapons and  different
24       gameplay.
