- Game Play
- ---------
- Space Wars is a battle between 2 opposing space ships in a hostile space
- field. Each round begins with your ship appearing on the right side of the
- screen and your opponent on the left. In a two player game, the right control
- panel manipulates the right ship and the left control panel manipulates the
- left ship. Steer your ship with the joystick and thrust forward by pressing
- button 3. As you move around space, beware of the meteorite. It can destroy
- you. Button 4 fires lasers at your opponent. The laser may destroy a portion
- of the ship, but don't let a crippled ship fool you. The fight is to the
- death, so a crippled ship may fight back to win.
- Button 2 allows you to move mysteriously on the screen to avoid being hit.
- Use it cautiously... it might put you in an even more difficult predicament.
- The sun is found at the center and can be deadly if you collide with it. Be
- especially aware of its gravity forces!
-
- Fuel and Laser Strength
- -----------------------
- Each new ship has a fixed amount of fuel and laser strength. As you travel
- through space and fire lasers, you are using up their limited quantities. The
- quantity remaining for each ship is shown at the top of the screen with the
- left number representing the fuel and the right representing laser strength.
-
- Getting Hit
- -----------
- Once a ship is destroyed, the score is shown and a fanfare is played. If no
- one has yet win the game, the next round is started.
-
- Scoring
- -------
- 1 point is awarded each time your opponent is destroyed. The game ends when
- one ship has 10 points.
