Created by Hans J. Baer and originally released by CP Verlag/Magic Disk 64 1990/03. The following is a section of the instructions, translated into English from German (YouTube has a limit on how many characters you can put in the description):

The prevalence of the once highly cultured human race in the universe has been broken for centuries. the extruders, a highly intelligent, but completely unfeeling, breed of lizard, spread more and more in the outskirts of the worlds.

But hope is now germinating in the slave camps of the extrudian empire: one tells of a spacefighter in a space cruiser eagle mk 3, who wants to search the blue gene on the planet intro for the salvation of humanity.

Against this backdrop, they now appear as commander of the eagle mk3 in scene.

You're in the atmosphere of the peaceful oxygen world Ilfus on the edge of the Pegus system. Your ship is equipped only with the most-needed: take-off device and buglaser of the class 4.

You have to abandon your ship for the dangerous mission. Since your capital is only 100 cr (credits), you should first get money.

The most convenient method is by catching animals.

The hunt: with the keys "J" and "K" you switch between hunting and fighting. that means that pressing fire button will trigger either a net or the buglaser.

The fight: the basic equipment of the eagle is a class four buglaser. Its range and energy are very limited.

An unmanned extruder, which are in the airspace of ilfus, need 3 to 4 hits to be eliminated. The generation of laser energy is also time-consuming, so wait times are expected after 10 to 12 laser bursts.

Once you have filled the hold of the ship, it is time to sell your precious cargo. Buy and sell actions you can only do in the transstations!

These stations are designated land platforms and can only be found in the populated areas of the planet.

Circling the planet: to land on the black landing platform fly high up and press "L".
