Planet Mongo! © 1984 Rodney, Fred.
Planet Mongo has a nuclear waste disposal problem. Within 99 ticks on the clock, 100 points must be played (bonus on 200, 300, etc.). If the clock strikes 0, the planet explodes with complete nuclear meltdown.
Cloud layers form, continents collide, the planet spins and breaks apart from the force. Finally, the planet cools and forms a dense globe in space. The satellite, a nuclear waste disposal unit, can still be seen orbiting Planet Mongo and the Game Over" flag appears. Squeeze trigger 1 to replay.
With joystick 1 you can move the crosshairs (X=Y/2). Knob 1 controls the rate of movement (Delta X, Delta Y). Move the crosshairs over the satellite to score points. The satellite will move toward your position in a spacecraft beyond the satellites orbit. The satellite will move away (toward the top of the screen) as it completes its orbit. Orbit movement is random but curves are smooth and movement can be predicted.
