Atari 2600 Game Instructions - Exocet (Panda)
EXOCETTM
There are eight moving and shooting
directions on the joystick. You can fire by
controlling the direction on the joystick and
pressing the red button.
There are two parts in this game - above
ground and underground. The UFO is under your
control. Press the "RESET" button to start. You
have altogether 8 UFOs. There are two kinds of
cannon towers on the ground, the high ones and
the low ones. You will get 20 points by hitting the
low one and 50 points by hitting the firing part of
the higher one. Note: When moving the UFO,
move it slowly and gradually. Keep the UFO in the
upper-left corner after you finish shooting.
After hitting 10 towers, an underground
tunnel will show up. You have three chances to
enter the tunnel. If you stay outside, the firing
speed of the towers will double. To pass the path,
first, move your UFO to the right of the screen
then down to the left with equal speed. Keep the
UFO as close to the ground as possible and you
will be much safer. If you do not want to enter the
tunnel, you can avoid enemy's firing by returning
to the upper-left corner position.
The underground tunnel will become
narrower as time goes by. You can get 50 points
by hitting a tower. As the number of the towers
you hit increases, the points you get for hitting a
new tower increase. The highest score is 360
points. If you pass the tunnel safely without
hitting any tower, you can also get 20 points. The
firing speed of the towers will double if you still
stay in the tunnel after you've hit 10 towers.
When a certain amount of towers are hit, the
color of the ground will turn blue. (Originally, it's
green.) During this period of time, you can get one
extra UFO as bonus by hitting 10 more towers,
either above ground or underground. The
maximum number of UFOs you can gain is eight.
The firing speed of the towers will become triple
after you've gained all of your eight bonus points.
