Publisher Description
-80 Space Raiders is the most comprehensive, realistic space combat simulation available for the TRS-80 microcomputer. The Space Raiders simulation places you inside the United Federation of Planet's Starship Defiant, from which you can look out into space and see the stars of the Galaxy as you fly past at many times the speed of light. You'll experience realistic sensations of space travel as you see thousands of stars appearing in the distance ahead of you wan then parting before you as you flash past.
Space Raiders goes beyond the scope of simple computer games: you should not expect to fully understand the details of the simulation without spending several days in the serious study of this manual. As you study, you'll learn more than the rules of the game. You'll learn about celestial navigation, energy management, tactical and strategic combat maneuvers, and how to control a severely damaged starship.
This manual also contains information regarding the three main tasks which await your completion during each mission: finding the enemy convoy, destroying each enemy ship in combat, and returning to your home starbase.
The Federation is Counting on you. Good Luck!
