HIDDEN ROUND IN ROUND 4:
To get to the hidden stage in level four, look for two blank
spots at the top of the screen.  The first blank is the entrance
to the stage.  Be sure you don't have the Satellite on the back
of your ship, then fly into the blank area and back your ship
into the left wall and you will enter the secret stage.
