Story: The loveable alien Turbie wanted to go on a killing spree one day and decided to take a ride to the primitive planet earth and kill hordes of humans.  By the time though that his ship got there, it was shot out of the sky by some sort of self propelled explosion device.  Jumping from his spaceship, he lands on a small building and greets the local law enforcement with his particular brand of happiness, though the humans might not be his only worry...


Tips:
  -Extra weapons and lives can be found in some levels.  Most however are not in plain view and may require the player to jump onto a platform or get to an area that is off of the main route to the end of the level.
  -Bosses may follow a particular pattern in their behaviour.  To beat them, learn their pattern and anticipate their actions.
  -Once you finish the game, a new difficulty option will be opened up.
  -There is a secret ending sequence for those who finish the game by restricting themselves at the hardest difficulty in a certain way.  If you're up for the challenge, try and see if you can reveal it.

Video Driver:
  -The default video driver is sphere_gl.dll at windowed 2x mode.  If the fps is sluggish, try switching to interpolated32.dll with direct scale mode, or standard32.dll.  All modes should be windowed.
