The Gond has been terrorizing nearby space colonies with its periodic raids of destruction. The time has come to put an end to his reign of terror. You have been selected to pilot an advanced fighter ship with high offensive capabilities. You must enter the cave inside the asteroid where the Gond makes his home, and safely fly through every zone; the Mountain Zone, Rainbow Zone, Styx Zone, Stripe Zone, Bleak Zone, and the City of Mystery where the Gond is rumored to reside. Take the Gond out, and succeed in your mission. Fail, and the colonies will be doomed. | The Gond has been terrorizing nearby space colonies with its periodic raids of destruction.
