REARGUARD IS A DEFENDER-LIKE GAME.THE OBJECT IS TO SHOOT TEN OF THE
LITTLE GREEN CREATURES WHO SCURRY ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN
TRYING TO STEAL YOUR PODS. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS YOU GO ON TO THE
NEXT LEVEL.DURING THE GAME YOU WILL FIND SHIPS WITH 'F' AND 'S' ON
THEM. THESE ARE FOR FUEL AND SHIELDS RESPECTIVELY. YOU NEED TO SHOOT
THESE IN ORDER TO GET WHAT THEY HAVE. THEY ALSO CHANGE FROM F TO S
DURING THEIR FLIGHT. THE SHIELD PROTECTS YOU FROM BEING DESTROYED, BUT
IT IS LIMITED AS IS YOUR FUEL. EVERY SO OFTEN A LARGE SHIP WILL FLY UP
FROM BEHIND YOU. YOU MUST SHOOT THIS SHIP AND THEN WAIT FOR THE POD TO
FALL OUT OF IT ONTO THE GROUND. AFTER IT DOES THIS YOU SHOULD FLY DOWN
AND TOUCH IT WITH YOUR SHIP IN ORDER TO GET IT. THE PODS ARE WORTH
FUEL SHIELD AND OTHER POINTS LATER. THE EASIEST WAY TO PLAY THIS GAME
IS WITH THE JOYSTICK. THE BOTTOM BUTTON FIRES AND THE TOP BUTTON GIVES
YOU A LITTLE EXTRA THRUST. PUSHING THE JOYSTICK FOREWARD MAKES YOU
SPEED UP AND PULLING BACK ON IT SLOWS YOU DOWN.
