Gameplay
At the start of the game, the player chooses an avatar, male or female. The evil Space Slug forces, led by the Sultan of Slime, have launched a sudden attack on humanity, quickly occupying the majority of planets in the galaxy, and forcing the Sidereal Shock Troops to recruit soldiers to counter the threat. After passing three "grueling tests", the player is made a "21-star general" and transported to the E.S.S. Dire Wolf, where they meet the ship's Flexible Interactive Digital Omnicomputer (FIDO, represented by a dog). From this point, the player receives various orders, from rescuing stranded agents on various cartoon-like worlds, retrieving upgrade parts for the ship and the player, and repairing various machines which help keep the universe running.

The vast majority of the game, however, is spent hunting down and driving the Slugs off different planets; when arriving at an occupied world, the game switches to an overhead Asteroids-esque view, where the Dire Wolf must shoot down all enemies (beginning with small, weak ships, with larger ones featured later in the game). After this, the player dons a suit of powered armor and descends to the planet's surface to hunt down the Slugs. Once this is finished, any additional tasks (such as speaking to people, opening up passages to the different machines) can be completed, or the player can return to the Dire Wolf and head to the next planet.

Reception
A reviewer for Next Generation, noting the game's incongruous mix of cutesy graphics and storyline with remarkably complex gameplay and levels, concluded that "What exactly this game's intended audience is supposed to be, we can't figure out, but it deserves at least a small one." He gave it three out of five stars.[2]

TROOPER ALERT... BACKGROUND
BRIEFING... TROOPER ALERT

Gooey green gastropods from beyond the stars have
discovered the human race! And they're so disgusted by
eur bones and bad habits that they ve declared total war!
Lured by a sly military recruiter, you sign a simple
contract, and the next thing you know you're a 21-Star
General in the Big Sky Troopers, off on a loony adventure
to save the world from the Sultan of Slime and his alien
armada

There are two obstacles on the road to glory; first, it turns
out you re the only one brave (or dumb) enough to
volunteer for duty, and second, the Slugs have sabotaged
the ancient machinery that operates reality. So... even
with а star-hopping battle cruiser to carry you into action,
8 deadly laser gun to wield, and a computer sidekick
named FIDO to keep you out of trouble, you can't simply
out-fight the enemy -- you must also solve the mystery of
the universe if you hope to lead Earth's forces to victory.

you need to install a Cosmic Transport Relay.

If the planet you're on has a Relay, you

Give them to FIDO to install. Two of the powerups are
special weapons. Launch and explode SPACE MINES by

QUARK TORPEDOES by pressing and releasing the X

TROOPER ALERT...STRATEGY TIPS

1. Sergeant Slack hangs out at the
space station in the center of the
Galaxy where you start the game.
Once you make friends with him,
go to see him as soon as you get
a promotion, and he'll upgrade
the armor on your Combat Suit.

2.Cosmic Transport Relays are your
key to fast travel around the
Galaxy. Place them on or near
key planets and you'll navigate
the spaceways with ease.

3.Slugs hate Fast Food. Slugs often
reconquer a planet once you've
left it, but once you establish a
Fast Food Franchise on a planet
(look for the double-F marks!),
they'll never go near it again.

TROOPER ALERT...STRATEGY TIPS

4.Look for cliffs and walls that can
be blasted with Star Fuel Drums.
Valuable items may be on the
other side.

5.Be on the lookout for mailboxes.
They contain info from a fellow
secret agent that will help your

| mission.

6.Listen to the SPIRIT of the planet
when you see one. Do what they
ask, and they will give you a
valuable treasure from their

planet.

Here are a few basic items that you will encounter during
your adventure.

HEALTH FRUITS (Neenapods)- Use with the
First Aid Station onboard the Dire Wolf to
restore your health.

FIDO UPLINK- Use this to have FIDO beam
you back to the Dire Wolf from planets and
dungeons.

NEON SIGN- Slugs hate advertising! They
lose two eyes when they touch these signs.

ITEMS

LUCKY CHARM- Use these to trade for
other goods.

ANCIENT ARTIFACT- Use these to trade for
other goods.

SLUG TRADING CARDS- Use these to trade
for other goods. These are especially
valuable on the Slug Flagship.

STATUS STAR- This tells your rank.

Hints:

Slugs like to ravel through tubes: use your camouflage module to explore the ship

Stay alert: vertical tubes are one-way elevators that make backtracking tricky

There are a number of robots that will betray their Slug masters if you give them trading cards
If you get lost, beam directly back to the entry room from any transporter square ( +»)

Here's a list of things to do:
