TRIVIA

Reactor is a trademark of D. Gottlieb & Co. and used by Parker Brothers under authorisation.

If you score 200,000 points or more, the counter turns into the initials CH (for programmer Charlie Heath).

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Lure enemy particles close to the wall for easier hits.

* Place your decoys by the kill wall for easier hits.

* Place your decoy in front of the bonus chamber to lure enemy particles inside for extra points.

* Place decoys near control rods to attract enemy particles for easier hits.

* Guide your ship in a CLOCKWISE direction if it should become caught in the vortex. This may help you escape it.

* Remember to watch the number of enemy particles 'To Go' (number of particles not yet on the screen), at the top of the screen in order to keep track of each round.
