Imagine yourself as the commander of a small, intergalactic scout ship. You have just arrived at the entrance of a planetoid that harbors within it the mother ship of your enemy's forces. Your mission is to penetrate the defenses and destroy the mother ship. The defenses consist of a twisting tunnel blocked in places by deadly force fields. Your blasters have no effect on the force fields, but you can blast through the "air locks" of the fields, if you can get a head-on shot at them. Your forward progress is inexorable while you try to avoid the walls and force fields. Occasionally this will be impossible so your one hope is to jump into hyperspace by pushing forward on the joystick. This five-second burst wilI carry you safely beyond a force field, but you must emerge in the tunnel beyond (not in a wall) or you will crash. Hyperspace travel exhausts your precious fuel at a prodigious rate, so only use it when you must.
