DESCRIPTION
Very unusual platform type game involving using four different
droids to collect some sheep droids.

CONTROLS:
Caps-Space = Alternating Left and Right
A-Enter = Down
Q-P = Up
I-S = Fire

INSTRUCTIONS
You have flown to the planet Andromadous with your droid to
capture Ramboids, a male form of alien sheep.  They only have an
active life of twenty minutes, so to teleport them back to Earth
in a suitable form you will have to move fast.  As time runs out
you must control your droid up through the hundreds of free
Ramboids to gain access to the cavern entrance. The left hand
status panel will then show which order the Ramboids have to be
coerced into the teleport receptor, 4 or more Ramboids correctly
installed will allow you to move to the next cavern.

Being a bit stupid the Ramboids only move in a certain pattern,
either up right bump, down left bump or vice versa.

The droid has three modes of operation as shown on the bottom of
the control panel.  A quick press on the fire button will alter
mode from fly, to dig, into tunnelling.  A long press will show
the location of all the remaining Ramboids.  Tunnelling correctly
is probably the most important skill required to succeed in
capturing all the Ramboids in all 20 caverns.

When you have another go, the password system will allow you to
start where you left off.

NOTES
Very eccentric but original game.  Also very difficult!  It
includes a password system to return to later levels, which I`m
sure you'll agree is vital!
