-You are a droid out to save the universe. To do this, you must do more
-than simply blasting everything in sight - you have to transfer to better
-droids in order to conquer more advanced droids, and go through walls to

-You start out as a 002 Paradroid in a ship. You can destroy other droids,

 To move around the ship, you must use the lifts (these look like squares
-with a cross through them, you normally start on one). To use a lift, move
-over it and press space. A map of the ship will appear, showing all the
-lifts and a square dot which represents your droid. Press down until the
-square is over the level you want to go to, and then press space to exit the
-lift.

 You won't get very far in nighthawk unless you learn to transfer to

-will start flashing and you will be unable to shoot) then click on a nearby
-droid (even one on the other side of a wall). The two droids will
-"negotiate" (what a euphemism!) to see which one lives. During negotiations,
-neither droid can shoot.
