     This is an official press release from Micro Revelations,
Incorporated for their new product entitled Xenocide, a science
fiction arcade game that runs on the Apple IIgs computer.
     In Xenocide, an alien race has taken over research outpost on three moons
orbiting the planet Talos IV. There have been no recent communications from any
of these three outpost and it is feared that no humans are left alive. In order
to insure that the alien race does not spread you are instructed to destroy the
three moons. To accomplish this, however, you must travel across the surface of
the moons to collect what ammunition remains from the former colonists. With
any luck you will find the entrance to the inside of the moon and be able to
enter the underground caverns. From there you will need to collect
miscellaneous items that will help you complete your mission. When you are
prepared you will enter the Bio-Labs, once the top secret research centers for
the colonists, and attempt to destroy the aliens that have taken control.  You
must reach all of the labs in each moon and destroy them before it is too late!
     Xenocide is programmed in 100% assembly language utilizing the full
graphics and sound capabilities of the Apple IIgs computer (this was not simply
a port over from another machine!). It contains digitzed sound effects and
takes advantage of an optional stereo card. It can also be played with a
joystick or keyboard, but it is recommended that you use a joystick. Xenocide
can also be installed on a hard drive and will take advantage of 1 megabyte
machines but only requires 512k.

     Xenocide requires that your computer is equipped with following:

     512k ram
     Apple 3.5 drive
     Apple mouse
     Joystick optional but recommended
     RGB color monitor recommended
