- SETUP
-
- Make sure you have at least 2Mb of EMS memory available for this game before
- you run the program. To make EMS available to dos programs you need a line
- similar to the following, in your config.sys file - 'DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
- 2048'. The game can be run under Win95 without setting up the EMM manager.
- Win95 may affect the performance of the game slightly.
-
- SOUND - Run setup.exe to configure your sound card.
- If the sound effects play, but not the music then you may need to free up
- more low memory.
-
-
- HOW TO PLAY
-
- Type 'rs' and press enter to run the program. If a compatible joystick is
- detected the program will get you to calibrate it. Press escape to skip this
- if you do not want to use a joystick.
- If you get any error messages stating that a file can not be found, make
- sure all program files are in the same directory and that you run the game
- from within that directory.
- From the title screen you can start a new game, change options, view high
- scores or quit. The options menu allows you to redefine the keys, select
- the type of joystick you are using (default=analogue), and turn the music on
- or off.
- The aim of the game is to clear each level of asteroids and also any UFOs
- that may appear. Each asteroid type takes a different number of hits to
- destroy them and likewise with UFOs. The number of targets left to destroy
- on the current level is shown at the bottom right of the screen. Also
- along the bottom is your current score, a damage bar, indicating how much
- more damage you ship will take before you lose one of three lives, and a
- short range radar showing objects around you (you are at the centre of the
- cross). Six increasingly difficult levels must be completed to win the game.
