Exzisus/Stage 1

Welcome to the game. Once Exzisus has fully materialized (after he was flying diagonally downwards at a high speed), he will slow down and start flying forwards as the game's main theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 and four Type 1 enemies come flying into view from all four corners of the screen; once you have fired out a shot at all four of these to kill them, you shall receive a 1000-point bonus, and four more Type 1 enemies will come flying into view from all four corners of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will receive another 1000-point bonus and four more Type 1 enemies will come flying into view, from all four corners of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you shall receive a third 1000-point bonus, and a Type 2 enemy will come flying into view from the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at it to kill it, it'll leave a "D" powerup behind; once you have collected it, four more Type 1 enemies will come flying into view from all four corners of the screen.

As they are falling, you shall come to three more Type 4 enemies, that are firing lasers up at you from their positions on the ground; once you've dropped a missile on each of them, to kill them (and the Meteorites have stopped falling), another Type 5 enemy will come walking into view, from the right side of the screen.
