WORLD 1

If you follow these steps carefully then clearing the first world shouldn't be too much of a problem. Begin at level one, in the left-hand corner of the war plan.

Tackle one meteor at a time and don't shoot at all the big boulders at once as the screen will become filled with hundreds of smaller ones, which are a lot harder to shoot or avoid.

In level one, try to pick up a gun power-up - represented by a (G), then go to the bottom centre level and collect another. Your three-way shooter will now be at full power. Destroy the small ship that enters from the left and get the bouncer. Clear the other levels, finishing with the level in the bottom-left of the plan, with the bouncer powered up.

The first end-of-level guardian is best tackled by flying your ship from left to right, so you can shoot the boss as well as the shots that fly towards you. Try to stay at the same vertical position as the guardian. As it closes its doors, rotate 90 degrees and fly away, so that you enter on the other side of the screen. Repeat the same manoeuvre until you have defeated the guardian. If something goes wrong, hide behind the open doors of the ship because the shots can't penetrate them.

If you get killed while trying to kill the end-of-level guardians, when you reappear you will have full shields so you can fly straight into the guardian with your shield up. This should kill the guardian very quickly and easily.

You'll now enter the first warp tunnel. The mines are indestructible and a lot smaller than the rocks. Because of this, the rocks will sometimes block your vision. It's best to move around instead of staying in one place. Focus your eyes on the centre of the tunnel and this will give you more time to react.

WORLD 2

You'll encounter a wave of Stellar Blades. When they appear, they will home in on you and attack. Your best defence here is to keep moving around, so they don't get a chance to locate you.

In the top-centre level, a couple of bombers await you. Beware of the exploding mines they leave behind, they can be destroyed with a couple of well placed shots. In the bottom right level you must tackle four huge Space Balls. Destroy one to break their formation and this will make it easier to take out the rest.

In the bottom-left level you will find a squadron of Trilons. You'll need shields to deal with these. Put your shields up and fly straight towards them as soon as they appear.

When you face the end-of-level guardian, shoot its appendages while evading the tailed eye. When all the appendages are destroyed your shots can penetrate the main body. To defeat the eye, fly backwards and forwards at the edge of the screen and this way it won't be able to home in on you.

The special mission, should you accept it, is a tough one. Firstly, your ship is constantly being pulled to the ground. Secondly you must keep an eye on your fuel gauge. Remember, when you fly through tight spots use your brake by pressing fire. For the warp tunnel, use the same tactics as you did in the first.

WORLD 3

The bombers you face in the top-centre levels leave spinning morph heads behind instead of mines. The heads rotate and breathe fire. When they start to morph from the ball shape, do a runner or you'll wind up dead.

In the bottom-right level you'll have to deal with the Thorn Balls. They spin around, bouncing from the edges of the screen. Stay in the centre of the screen and fire where you want by rotating your ship.

In the bottom-left level an Orbit Plate awaits you and you'll definately need you shields to face it. The Space Worm is best taken out with missiles. Fly your ship around it and try to hit its body parts. If all else fails, put your shields up and make a kamikaze attack.

The guardian is quite easy to defeat. Fly behind it (not too close) and shoot. When it stops, keep your distance and hit it with everything you've got.

The third tunnel sequence features a lot of Thorn Balls on a collision course with your ship. They bounce off the tunnel walls, are much bigger than the mines and are indestructible, so avoid them like the plague.

WORLD 4

This level introduces two new threats: the Speeders and the Beetles.

The Speeders try to home in on you just like the Stellar Blades, but they take more hits to destroy and are affected by inertia. Make sure you keep moving around the screen while you shoot them. The Beetles attack in groups and the best time to shoot at them is when they begin to rotate.

The end-of-level guardian has three phases. To deal with it, you must wait until it spins around, then you must accelerate, fly away and turn around to shoot at it. When it stops it either morphs into a plate or a ball. If it takes the form of a plate you can expect a burst of shots. If it turns itself into a ball, look out for the homing missiles. The best weapon you can use against this guardian is the flamer. Enter the fourth tunnel and make sure you get every energy power-up that you can see because you're goind to need your strength for the final world.

WORLD 5

This world is what your shoot-em-up nightmares are made of. This is where you will face everything the professor throws at you, before he finallyhas a go.

In the top-center level you will encounter waves of Orbit Plates flying from the bottom of the screen to the top. Shooting them won't help, so concentrate on avoiding them and use your shields when you get yourself into a tight spot.

The guardian of this level is the professor himself. He will attack you with and egg-shaped machine which is armed to the teeth. The egg will try to crush you, so keep moving and shooting.

When the egg stop, a hatch will open revealing a flame-thrower or, maybe, a cannon. The flame-thrower has a limited range and it only comes out of the top of the egg.

The other weapons include a missile launcher and a rapid fire plasma rifle. When the egg is destroyed, Professor Schaumund himself will appear, shooting at the sides of the screen at an incredible rate. He is immune to your weapons so concentrate on avoiding his shots and attacks by moving up and down in the top and bottom edges of the screen. Defeat him and the 'I'm really quite good at the really rather hard shoot-em-up Stardust' award will be yours.
