Object of the game:
(Remember Pac-Man?...)

"You are stuck in a disabled space station which is being invaded by Questors,
the most vicious life form in the universe (!) The only way to survive is to
close all the Space Ports and eliminating those which are already inside.

Close the Space Ports by going over them.  When you've finished, go to the
Teleportation chamber and you will advance to the next deck.  To kill the
Questors, you must pass over the energizing beam in the maze.

Using the Return key, you can temporarily display the Questors' location on 
the locator screen.  You are limited in using this key 3 times on the first
deck, 2 times in the next 3 deck, and it is inoperative after deck 6.

Entering the Teleportation chamber before closing all the Space Ports trans-
ports you back to where you started"

Modes:

Novice - The locator screen shows all details for 5 seconds, when the maze
walls and Questors' locations disappear.  In Advanced mode, both the walls
and Space Port locations disappear after 5 seconds, and the Questors' loc-
ations do not show up at all.

Scoring:

Space port - 10 pts.            Energizer - 50 pts.
Questors - 200/400/600/800 for each Questor
