In Livewire! you are a logic probe on A mission to rid your computer of 
various faults. You sit atop various circuit junctions(which happen 
to(spell LIVEWIRE)as the enemies of your computer climb up the circuit 
lines toward you. There are 64 levels in the game, each one more 
difficult than the last. You can use joystick or paddle to play, but a 
paddle is recommended

Choose the controller with the SELECT key and press START to begin 
playing. Move along the circuit rim, and press he trigger to fire up to 
6 deadly electron bursts at a time. Keep alert, because the also fire at 
you. In a tight situation, the space bar will destroy all enemies on the 
screen. Use this weapon wisely, as you only have one use of 'zap' per 
grid. Your score is shown at lower left of the screen. Probes remaining 
next to it, and level next to probes.
 You begin with 3 lives. Bonus life at 20,000 pts. ESC will pause the 
game. press again to continue. ARCS  are clever objects which 
unpredictably jump from one line to another: Worth 50 pts. SURGES  rise 
up the circuit grid, then change direction toward the bottom.
  TRANSIENTS  Are nasty objects which appear and disappear at random. 
When invisible, the cannot be destroyed, but the can destroy you!(Worth 
150 pts.)
  VOLTAGE SPIKES  aren't particularly dangerous until it reaches the 
top. When the do, they turn into SHORTS.(described later). Worth 200 
pts.
 RESISTANCES cannot be destroyed with electron bursts. If it is hit by 
one, it is bounced back at the logic probe! The only way to kill it is 
with the ZAP(Worth 250pts.)
