Saint Dragon - Manual

SCENARIO

On a far distant planet you must prepare to fight the final battle! An evil
force of monster machines has risen to conquer the Galaxy. One by one the
peaceful races of the Galaxy have been attacked and enslaved by the
Cyborg Monsters. None has the strength to stand against the power of the
Cyborgs, until one lone rebel rises from within the ranks of the
mechanised monsters. Part dragon, part machine, the Cyborg Warrior
fights back against its tyrant masters. The Galaxy has a Hero. Hope
returns to the hearts of the people at the rise of the Armoured Champion
they call, "Saint Dragon". In this reverse of the Saint George legend
you must fly the armoured Dragonship through five levels of non-stop
destruction. Choose between fireballs, bouncing bombs, ring lasers and
turret weapons to blast your way through the armoured pumas, mechanical
cobras, giant cyborg bull and a host of other mutant machines. But
remember fire power isn't everything! Your ship has an armoured tail.
Use it well and you may just survive.
