ENEMIES
The Combat CD-ROM game features a myriad of enemies. If you don’t destroy them, they will try to destroy
you! The rule of thumb is simple: If it moves — shoot it! Enemies spawn at a varying rate depending upon
your proximity to their generator (which you cannot destroy), or whether the Exit Portal has been opened.
Some of the enemies you’ll encounter during play — but by no means all — include the following:

Some of the enemies you’ll encounter during play — but by no means all — include the following:
Rocket Drone – This is a simple, almost brainless threat. It’ll look for you and when
it sees you, launch its attack. Once it fires its engine, there is no turning back — and
no turning! Thwart it by waiting until it launches and then move out of its path. It will
explode upon impact with you, a wall, or another enemy. 50 points

Buzz Bomb – This enemy flocks near you to pack an explosive collision. It does not
explode itself upon collision, but must be destroyed by your tank cannon. It is easy to
pick off when alone, but deadly in a group. Look out for its hive! 100 points

Flyer – The flyer is an aggressive foe. It will tirelessly seek you out and do its best
to destroy you. You’ll need to pilot your tank defensively, as well as be a crack shot,
to take out this enemy. 300 points

Hunter – The Hunter is the sniper of the virtual worlds. It’s slow to turn and slow to
move, but will fire a deadly projectile at you as soon as it has an open shot. It will
also attempt to circle you as it shoots for the kill. Beware its more deadly brother!
