Far beyond the Orion Nebula flies a vast Robot ship
on a thousand year quest to find new forms and
gather knowledge of the Galaxy. The ship was sent
on its mission by the Markon Empire and is called
The Markon Dawn
as its return will mark the dawn
of a new age for the Markon Dynasty.
Installed on this ship was the largest and most powerful computer the Markons had ever created. With great pride they called this computer "The Brain of Markon". You are the Guardian of The Brain of Markon. Your Ultimate mission is to defend, maintain and activate The Brain in the event of attack by unfriendly Aliens.
After a long journey with only routine maintenance to do, The Markon Dawn is suddenly attacked by vicious and barbaric Aliens...
The MARTIANOIDS enter your ship, disrupting the passage of programs
as they are transmitted through the The Brain of Markon, draining
your Battery in a desperate suicidal attacks to destroy you and
your ship. Their Photon Weapons pass through the internal parts of
the The Brain destroying all Active Components in their path.
Your task is to guide the program from the Transmitter to the
Receiver in each sector. When a program is received the internal
defences are activated, thus preventing any further damage in that
sector of The Brain. Beware of Disposal Chutes as your program will
fall down these and be lost. You must repair any damaged Active
Components using the Replacement Cones. If all the Active Components
in a sector are destroyed, then that sector is destroyed and can no
longer be repaired or activated. Spare Batteries are located around
The Brain for you to use when your charges become low. To defend
yourself you have Lasers which destroy Internal Walls, Active
Components, Replacements Cones and Aliens.
To help you in your mission, your Console displays a map which shows
your position within The Brain, the position of the program and the
status of each sector. Red indicates that sector has been destroyed.
White that it has been activated and flashing Red and Yellow indicates
a sector under attack. Also your Console displays messages to tell you
what is happening within The Brain.
