Powerful electromagnetic emission blocks the video signal, so all information has to be transmitted as alphanumeric characters.In these difficult conditions Agent ASCIILL will have to fulfill B.O.S.S.’ orders: plunder the treasures, destroy alien beasts and disable the security system.As you progress through the levels, you start realizing that B.O.S.S. is not what he seems to be and Agent ASCIILL and Earth are just pawns in the game of huge powers of the Universe. But any pawn can eventually become a queen.Mechanics of the movement. Pay attention to numbers when choosing your route. A figure in the cell indicates the number of traps around it.
