 --------------------
 - GOAL of the game:
 --------------------

 You're supposed to find 30 keys in a vast maze and to rescue the
 captives from the caches your enemies have imprisoned them.

 During the game, you will come across 4 different kinds of characters,
 who will help you on your way to accomplish your mission.
 Each character has its own color in order to distinguish them more
 easily, and _you_ are supposed to pick them up and fly them back to
 their  r i g h t  homes (look out for the colors _on_ their homes to 
 match with the people's colors).
 
 The people will reward you for your aid, as follows:

 - PINK-colored people:
   They will always provide you with one more KEY.
 
 - YELLOW-colored people:
   Every time you manage to take  e i g h t  of them to their proper
   homes, you will be rewarded a bonus helicopter (=extra life!).
 
 - BLINKING people:
   You're NOT supposed to take these people to their homes _on the spot_,
   this CANNOT be done because these people's intention is to help _you_
   first of all: 
   they will assist you in getting keys from locations UNREACHABLE
   from your helicopter.
 
 You can transport 4 people maximum with your helicopter,
 so you must watch out _who_ you're carrying.

 Inside the maze, there are some switches at certain locations
 you can open and close certain caves and corridors with.
 You can switch them on and off using your FIRE button.
 
 A lot of enemies will want to spoil your plans, though.
 Some of them can be ZAPPED with a couple of accurate shots
 from your weapon[s], some others, however,  are going to attend on
 you, having in mind to give you an impressive fit. ;)
 
 NOTE:  You CANNOT hit people who are supposed to be picked up!!

       CONTROL
 --------------------

 Joystick Control:
 
 UP    - Chopper rises
 DOWN  - Chopper descends
 RIGHT - Chopper declines to the right 
 LEFT  - Chopper declines to the left 
  
 FIRE  - Discharge a shot

 When landing on an area marked "LAND", you can, if you press 'DOWN' and
 'FIRE' simultaneously, check out the number of people you're currently
 carrying and the number of keys already found.

 --------------------
         HINTS 
 --------------------
  
 Hint 1: ALWAYS make sure you have a blue-colored person 
 among the people you're carrying, so you can refuel in
 case of emergency.

 Hint 2: Every time you discharge people, make sure to land
 on an area with arrows drawn on it.
 
 Hint 3: After losing one of your helicopters, it's best to
 take off from the area marked "LAND" that you touched last.
 So feel free to take a "detour" from time to time. :)

 Have fun with HELI-RESCUE!
