Story
Once, in a land far away, there was a strange occurrence. Where it came from, nobody knew, but whenever anyone touched it, he/she disappeared. Some believed that it was some mystical portal conjured up by the ancients. Others thought that it was an alien device accidentally left there. Nobody knew. It was eventually forgotten, that strange mist of swirling purple gasses, and it remained, swallowing the odd traveler here, a hiker there.
CENTURIES LATER
Technology had improved much since the discovery of the transporter, and the Zorbians were once again ready to take on the once forgotten menace. They constructed a fine ship, made of the best materials of Zorb, and equipped with dual ion cannons. However, the portal was quickly fading, so they strapped in the first junior pilot they could find and started the countdown.
...5...4...3...2...1... PREPARE FOR LIFTOFF!!!
Here's my story; I was walking down the sidewalk in my rider's outfit, (I was waiting for the washing machine to finish) and suddenly, a big guy's arm reaches out, grabs my arm and throws me into a nicely padded seat. As the countdown begins, I'm wondering exactly what I'm doing here. I'm also wondering if I can get back before my clothes are done. I've been using the on-line help section of the ship, and what I've been able to come up with at the moment is the movement keys, the turbo keys, (W,S,A,D) and the fire keys. (T,G,F,H) Well, I hope that they're friendly...

Credits
This game was made by Brandon Enterprises in the name of the great Emperor Zorgisang. Actually, I was just kidding - Robert Brandon made this game.
Background
John Brandon:
- Game by my brother, looks like it borrows graphics from Nebula, Zark, and Orb. I do remember my brother spending a lot of time on this.
- Looks like it is a maze style game. You can shoot at the enemies, the levels should have exits, and there is a level select screen! Don't forget to regEster! LOL
- Needless to say, like all of our other games and tech demos, none of these were ever released to the public at the time, nor was a more complete/registered version ever created.
