NorthStar

Right-scrolling Exolon-type game with nice color graphics and
animation. Ten levels.
Alone it stands, majestic and proud... the final hope to Earth's
savagery and overpopulation ... North Star, a glorious space
station orbiting serene tranquility, too much tranquility ...
preparation should be underway for the final evacuation.
Communications are dead, scientists cannot be raised ...
a dreadful gloom overtakes the population ... has their last
hope gone? Only one can find out, only one has the necessary
powers. That one is you ... a unique being on a mission to
rescue a unique project.
The NORTHSTAR PROJECT, the most highly classified operation ever
to be undertaken by the four Earth-Lords, has gone tragically
wrong....
The year was 2499 and an over-populated Earth was grasped in
starvation. Man fought against man, desperate for food. A meeting
was called and the Earth-Lords decided upon an elaborate plan of
action. A space station would be built. Not an ordinary space
station; it would not hold just 10,20 or even 100 people, but
thousands upon thousands. There they Would be able to produce
foods high in nutritional value, very efficiently and most
importantly very quickly.
The building started and daily flights of scientists and equipment
were sent up. As the years went by the steady flow of flights with
their large loads accelerated the project almost to the point of
completion - until one day when a flight left but never returned.
The station, now called NORTHSTAR was paged from Earth, but there
was no reply.
You have been appointed to fly to NORTHSTAR to find out what is
going on and to resolve any problems you may find.
Arriving on NORTHSTAR you find that the station has been over-run
by an alien hoard. No human survivors can be seen anywhere - are
they really all dead? You notice that the life-support systems are
inoperative, only your robotic implants prevent you from suffocation.
Now your task becomes clear. You must destroy these alien life-forms
and re-activate the life support systems by making your way to the
NORTHSTAR project centre.
