Synopsis:
Sorry either we do not have an official synopsis for this title or one was never actually written by the game developer, this is particularly true in the case of game packages that have multiple titles in one box.

Original Instructions
Note: Many of these instructions have been OCRed and may not have been proofread, as a result spelling errors, broken English and grammar are likely.
Roland is working on a building site and has discovered a gang of aliens trying to take over the unfinished structure. The foreman (a sensible man) has offered a bonus to Roland to clear the building of the space squatters. Roland (not at all sensible) has taken his spade and set out to supplement his meagre income! Your task is to guide Roland and help him to obtain a fat pay packet.
An alien can be killed if it falls into a hole that Roland has dug with his spade and then Roland must dig it again and make it fall to its death.
If Roland fails to kill a trapped alien then it will eventually climb out and fill the hole again.
Unfortunately this annoys the aliens and they change colour and begin to chase after Roland.
The angry aliens are much more difficult to kill and must fall through at least two floors or they will resume their attack. An alien cannot be made to fall through a partly dug hole and it will inevitably climb out.
By the way, they don't like their friends falling on top of them!!
Any contact with an alien will stun our hero and after five stuns he will be unable to continue.
The aliens are a form of plant life and are slowly consuming all the oxygen in the building. If Roland is to survive he must dispose of the aliens before the indicator reaches the bottom. Any oxygen left after Roland has cleared all of the intruders will be credited to his bonus.
If Roland is successful then he will be confronted with another (more daunting) invading force.
