YARS' RETURN(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)

The brand new groundbreaking sequel to the original Yar’s Revenge(TM)!

After enduring countless centuries of tyranny under the rule of the Qotile Empire, the Yarians plan an assault deep within the hive of the Qotile Homeworld. Three brave Yarians are sent to venture deep within the heavily guarded underground complex of the Qotiles. Their ultimate objective – the Master Qotile chambers and to do battle head to head against the Master Qotiles. Once defeated, move your Yarian quickly into the next complex and seek out another Master Qotile. The Yarians don’t know how many of these ruthless rulers exist, but the fate of all the Yarians rests in them defeating the Qotile Empire once and for all.

Playing the game

The primary objective of the game is to break a path through the shield, and destroy the Qotile with a blast from the Zorlon Cannon. The secondary objective is to score as many points as possible. See Figure 1 for an explanation of the objects on the playfield.

The shield is the red area in front of the Qotile base. It appears in one of two shapes, as an arch, or a shifting rectangle. The shield is made up of cells. The Yar scout can destroy these cells by firing at them with energy missiles, from any location on the playfield, or by devouring them on direct contact. (The Zorlon Cannon can also be used to destroy the cells, but this is a waste of a powerful weapon.)
