Dynamix's STELLAR 7 contains a secret feature.  In the Deneb system, a secret
warplink is hidden which will take you straight to Arcturus, the final planet
in the game.  The secret warplink is blue, not green.

When you reach the Deneb system, an Assault Cannon will be visible to the
left of your sights.  The first thing to do is to destroy it, since the secret
warplink is hidden behind it.  Immediately bring the Assault Cannon into your
sights and open fire.  While you do this, start moving forward at full speed.
You will be headed straight toward the Assault Cannon.  Keep doing this until
you have fired 4 times, then veer off slightly.  During this time, the cannon
has been turning to get you in its sights; since you veer aside, it will miss.

When all 4 of your shots hit the cannon, it will be destroyed.  Turning back
toward where the cannon used to be, you will see an obstacle.  Of course, the
obstacle was really there all along--the cannon was simply in the way.  Start
firing at this obstacle, and keep moving.  After 16 hits, the obstacle will
disappear with a resounding thud, revealing the secret warplink.  You may use
this warplink as soon as you wish.

Above all, don't stop moving to shoot at the obstacle!  Your adversaries will
open fire on you if you stop.  To keep moving, simply travel toward the
obstacle until you are quite close, then start backing away.  Don't turn
aside.  This way, you can keep moving while keeping the target in your sights.

Special note:  The secret warplink can be pried out of its hiding place at any
desired time.  The described procedure is only one way to do it.  That
obstacle can still be fired at 16 time to activate the hidden warplink even
after the entire system has been completed and the system's guardian
successfully destroyed.  This approach may be preferable the first time you
try it so that you can take your time.  Remember, however, only ONE of the
obstacles in the system contains the hidden feature.  If you can't figure out
which one it is, shoot each one 16 times until you find it.  And, don't
confuse the obstacles with the Guisers, which look the same but can be blown
away with only one hit.

Has anyone else discovered this feature?  I discovered it purely by chance.
I wonder if anyone, outside of Dynamix, knows about it.  But then, secrets
like this tend to leak out...
