    TRIVIA
    Demon was created on Cinematronics' vector hardware by Rock-Ola. The flickering is normal:)

    SCORING
    Collecting a crystal: 100 points.
    Dropping a crystal in the shuttle: 100, 200, 300 etc. up to 1,000 points then back to 100 points.
    Each second survived: 10 points.
    Destroying large alien with tail: 1,500 points.
    Off centre hit on large alien: up to 1,300 points.
    Destroying a mutated crystal: 400 points.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • At the start of the game, concentrate on loading as many crystals as you can. Don't worry about the enemy ships yet as they are easy to avoid.
    • The mutated aliens with the tails which appear later in the game are worth the most points. You get 1,500 for a direct hit destroying them, but also points for each near non-fatal hit. Get a few hits off-target if you can, as they can be worth 1,300 points each!
    • Keep an eye on your shot power remaining and be ready to collect a crystal if necessary to recharge.
    • If the shuttle appears on screen level with the bottom block, keep collecting crystals and don't drop any off until the shuttle is clear of the block. You can often lose a life if you are carrying a crystal and can't get to the shuttle before it explodes.
