John A. Reder Presents — Vectrex UFO! v1.0.2

Vectrex UFO was inspired by "UFO!" for the Odyssey2 System which was developed by Ed Averett and released in 1981. Vectrex UFO is not a direct port of UFO!. Another version of UFO was also written for the Atari 2600 and is available in cartridge form from 2600connection.com.

Strategy Tips:

• Stay away from edges — if your shields are down you could die from a UFO entering the screen!
• You cannot shoot down buzz-balls fired by Killer UFOs. Run!
• If you shoot a Killer UFO its buzz-ball dies with it — get to the Killer UFO first!
• Hide behind a UFO to shield you from buzz-balls fired by the light speed starship!
• Your shield is strongest relative to the laser dot circling it when not fully charged
• Your shield is down when you fire, and won't start recharging until the bullet runs its course
• UFOs explode when shot and can cause chain reaction destruction if other UFOs are nearby!
