We, the leaders of the Omegan Star System, have spent countless eons perfecting our method of training our warrirs to defend our star colonies. This method -- you may call it OMEGA RACE -- has proven so successful that evildoers tremble at the mere thought of interfering with us. As a result, our lives have become rather mundane and boring. So now we search the galaxies for other forms of intelligent life fast and tough enough to meet the challenge of our OMEGARACE. Having failed to locate such life, we're settling for you. We await you in the arena!
Note: This game normally requires the Booster Grip adaptor, but you can substitute a ColecoVision controller instead if you are playing on actual hardware. Apparently this does NOT work through a Stelladaptor however.

The Manual said:
As always, you really should read the manual.
What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, AtariAge has a typed copy of the manual online. Here are the hints it provides:
1. Learn to use your Booster-Grop to control your direction as you ricochet off the walls of the arena. Mastering this technique will almost always enable you to maintain a good position for destroying both Command Ships and Death Ships.
2. Use your thrust sparingly to "float" back and forth or up and down. You'll be able to fire without worrying about navigating.
3. To rack up really high scores, go for the more valuable ships first. Since they're always replaced, you'll be able to get more points for the same quantity of ships destroyed.
