S-O-U-P  -  Storyline:  
  Your space ship is on its way back home to earth. Earthlings are infected by a bad virus threatening to extinct mankind. Your ship carries the vaccine – code name S-O-U-P – that would help fight the virus. Earth counts on you to bring the vaccine in time. 
  Unfortunately bad-tempered aliens are trying to shoot you down by launching ammunition from their base located behind planet earth.
   Your ship is equipped with a protective shield that can be brought up on command for a short time span of approx. 1.5 seconds. The challenge is to bring the shield up just in time to neutralize the ammunition impact. If the shield is launched too early it will be down again when the ammunition hits the ship. If your ship is hit, it loses one of its five decks. After three hits your ship would be completely destroyed and earth will turn into a dark planet.
   You must reach earth with at least 3 decks.
