MISSION: ASTEROID is an introduction to the HI-RES ADVENTURE family of games. This adventure is slightly easier and a little shorter than our other HI-RES ADVENTURE games. MISSION: ASTEROID is designed to acquaint beginning Adventure players to the wonderful world of Hi-Res Adventure.

In this adventure you find that an Asteroid is about to hit the Earth and destroy it. It is your mission, as an Astronaut, to rocket to the Asteroid and blow it up before it reaches Earth. You must fight through the Red Tape at Mission Control, then enter the Rocket Ship and learn how to fly it. I hope you have a flight plan or you will never find your way through space to the Asteroid. Be careful with the explosives, as they can be very dangerous if not handled correctly. This game should provide weeks of Adventure.

OVER A HUNDRED HI-RES PICTURES. (Looks great on b/w and color televisions).

FULL 21-COLORED HI-RES GRAPHICS. (Each room a work of art).

YOUR GAME MAY BE SAVED FOR LATER CONTINUANCE.

THIS EXCITING GRAPHIC GAME WILL CHALLENGE YOUR IMAGINATION AND TEST YOUR CREATIVITY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!### ATARI SOFTWAREfromOn-Line Systems

MISSION: ASTEROID

HI-RES ADVENTURE #0

There is a terrible tragedy about to happen to Earth. A small planet, also called an Asteroid is speeding through space directly toward Earth. This particular Asteroid was one of many small planets revolving about the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Somehow, this Asteroid jumped its orbit and is now threatening the life of every living soul on Earth. The only way to stop the Asteroid is to blow it up in Space before it gets to Earth.

As an Astronaut, you are assigned the duty of rocketing to the Asteroid and blowing it up. There is no time to lose, though. If you don't do things exactly right and don't travel fast enough, there will be DISASTER.

The Asteroid will hit the Earth at a pre-determined time. You are wearing a watch, which if checked periodically, will let you know how much time you have left.

Be careful, don't waste any time, and you will save us all from certain destruction. Good luck!

MISSIONASTEROID

A terrible tragedy is about to happen... An asteroid of incredible size is headed for a direct collision with the Earth. The predicted impact could destroy all life here — unless something is done quickly.

As an astronaut, it's your duty to rocket to the asteroid and attempt to alter its course. There's no time to lose! If you don't do things exactly right and travel fast enough, there will be DISASTER!

The asteroid will collide with Earth at a pre-determined time. You are wearing a watch, which, if checked periodically, will let you know how much time you have left.

If you're quick and careful, you will save us all from oblivion. If not, don't bother landing on Earth again, you will have no home to return to... Good luck!
