Atomic Fiction

To recover Kyrium, the ore that is the last chance to avert the current energy crisis, world authorities have selected you as the first R.O.M. pilot,

of which only three working prototypes have been built. This would be easy enough if the eighteen galleries which are to be your theatre of operations were not populated with radioactive monsters and heavy gold ingots. If they collide with the pipeline that connects you to the surface, you will lose the R.O.M. To avoid this, you'll have to use the winch to get the R.O.M. back to safety. On the other hand, you can absorb them, which will net you a substantial bonus. It is also possible to blast monsters and ingots to ashes by lashing out with an energy beam. You are given two of those at the beginning of the game, and will gel one at the end of each level.
