You play the Wanderer of the title, a space mercenary under contract to a
federation of ten planets which is languishing under the thumb of the local
dictator, Vadd.  Your misson is to destroy Vadd and his army of wire-frame
spaceships, by collecting enough cats to allow you entry into his space
fortress, called the Sphynx.

Cats are now galactic currency, and earning the 8000 cats you need to enter
the Sphynx is a matter of wandering between planets and collecting playing
cards.  Each planet's strength is dependent on having a good Poker hand,
and they will pay a pretty pussy for any good cards you can put their way.
The better the hand, the more cats you collect in payment.

Interspersing the pussy Poker pastimes are the 3D battle sequences which
have to be completed to allow you to move between sectors and planets.
While abstract blastables whizz towards you out of the void, you have to
manoeuvre your ship so as to get them in your sights, then let rip with the
lasers.  By destroying pirates the Wanderer's combat ability goes up, with
ability increases comes the option to enter black holes and collect Jokers.

Jokes dramatically increase card 'hands' when used and in turn not only
accelerates the Wanderer's profits but takes him ever nearer towards
opening the portal to Vadd.
