GRAVITON  1.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
----------
Because of your skill in handling highly manoeverable craft, you are hired
by the Galactic Mining Association to recover crystals from the open caverns 
of a distant planet.
You are teleported in to the mines, and you must recover all the crystals 
before your employers open a Warp Gate to let you leave. This will appear 
at the spot where you entered the mine, and you only have a short time to 
reach it.

The caverns are populated by alien creatures protecting their property.

Scoring
-------
You receive points for each crystal you collect, and for each enemy you destroy
But the real points come in the form of bonuses. 
You get a time bonus at the end of a level, so the faster you complete the level
the more points you get,
There are also special bonuses for big points, which you must discover for yourself

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enemies/Obstacles
-----------------

The main denizens of the mines are the Turrets, which track you down and 
fire at you.
Beware also of loose rocks which tumble should you get near them.
Further hampering your quest are gravity fields which the aliens have created.
Some of these will repel your ship if it comes within range, while others
will attract your ship. Colliding with these fields themselves is harmless, 
but they make your navigation through the tunels more hazardous.
Later on you will discover many more callenging enemies to defeat or escape,
like alien craft, proximity mines, Gravity emitters, volcanoes, and homing missiles.
