                  INTRODUCTION
                  MOBANTI - your home planet, ten fold the size of earth. It´s 
                  people had lived in total isolation and tranquility for 
                  millenia, they had no words in their language for war and 
                  destruction until an alien race from a distant galaxy called 
                  the Milky Way invaded them. This was an utterly ruthless race 
                  bent on death and destruction for their own gain. 
                  The peaceful people of MOBANTI in the ways of disguise and 
                  dexterity to penetrate their strongholds to find out the 
                  secrets of warfare. 
                  Few scouts returned, but one, Tarly, told you of many things: 
                  "Their world had been at war throughout their entire evolution 
                  and as their machine technology advanced they developed 
                  weapons too powerful even for their aggressive leaders to 
                  handle - eventually, in one final confrontation they destroyed 
                  their own home planet!" 
                  "These barbarians are the last survivors from that planet that 
                  they call ´EARTH´." 
                  The crust of Mobanti has veru little metal. This is why your 
                  race has never developed machines. Your scientists have 
                  instead concentrated on biological technology to create living 
                  structures in your society. 
                  Your scientists have combined your old technology with this 
                  new machine technology to create ARMOURDILLO - your first, and 
                  hopefully last living fighting machine!! 
                  THE GAME PLAY:
                  Control ARMOURDILLO using a joystick in port 2 
                  Push the joystick up and down to adjust the guns and left and 
                  right to move ARMOURDILLO. Press FIRE to shot. 
                  Go to the far left of each city and deactivate the forcefield 
                  by firing into it. An egg-like shuttle will then fly through 
                  the forcefield. This shuttle contains survivors who must be 
                  taken to safety via an emergency tunnel at the right of the 
                  city. 
                  Many ´eggs´ and several cities have to be saved if you are to 
                  avoid the wrath of this human race. 
                  When all the survivors have been rescued from each city a red 
                  light will flash signalling you to drive ARMOURDILLO down the 
                  emergency tunnel.
