   You are an alien, who has been captured and you are now trapped in a space   
   cell.  You want to escape, but in order to do this, you need to complete a   
   task.  That particular task is to simply blap the ball with your spacebat   
   and clear each intergalactic zone from all of the bricks simply by bashing   
   at them.  Aliens will appear and are pretty much helpful.  Watch out for   
   the red zone.  Should the ball hit a red zone, a shield will be lost.  Once   
   all shields are down, a life will be lost.  Bonuses will be scored with any   
   remaining shields left after level completion.  Collect power ups, and have   
   loads of fun.

           SPRINT 1 FOR THE C64   
   *************************************   
      
   In 1978 Atari's wholly-owned subsidiary Kee Games released the arcade game   
   "Sprint 1".  It was a one-player sequel of the earlier two-player   
   car-racing game "Sprint 2" from 1976.  The arcade machine was based on a   
   6502 microprocessor.   
      
   Now ported to the Commodore 64 computer by just running the original arcade   
   game program on the C64.  The arcade machine's video and sound hardware are   
   emulated by specific C64 routines.  Played with the joystick instead of the   
   original's steering, gear shift, and accelerator pedal.
