m STAR DESTROYERc
By: Keith Thoreszb
You are recruited by the mSTAR DESTROYERb squad to fight against the
evil armada that rules the surrounding galaxies. Your job is to shoot down
the enemy ships and destroy the enemy base reactor.
Your weapons are lasers and deadly torpedoes which will destroy anything
within range. The torpedoes, when fired, let off hundreds of thousandths of
volts of energy, which you are protected from, but will overload the system
of any other ship in the area around you, causing that ship to overheat and
blowup.
But your ship only have three torpedoes, and once one is fired, you must
wait for the next round to get one back. Your ship is shielded so it can take
a number of direct hits, but once the shielding is stripped, you are a target
for the enemy ships. But if you are down to 3 shields, you may see an enemy
ship with a S in the middle. This is good luck, because shooting this will
give you extra shielding. But be careful, this ship may not appear at all.
After shooting a number of ships you will enter the reactor shaft.
Be careful, if you point your ships sight to the wall of the shaft for
too long you will hit the wall. This will strip shielding from your ship.
Just for protection, a digital clocking device has been added. When you are
flying down the shaft the clock will turn itself on (this is located on the
far right of the control panel). This will tell you how many seconds before
you will hit the wall, if you are too far over to either side of the shaft.
Note: While in the shaft the enemy ships will not fire.
Within 20 meters of the end of the shaft an alarm will sound telling you
you're coming close to the reactor. Within 10 meters of the end of the shaft
you will see the reactor. Your ships sight must be pointed at the red, middle
part of the reactor. Once destroying it you will be placed back on another
course in space to destroy another of the 20 enemy bases that seem to rule the
galaxies. Note: If fired, your torpedoes may cause a reaction within the base,
making it overload and blowup with you. So while in the shaft, your torpedoes
will shut off.
Sitting in your cockpit you see how many torpedoes you have, you shield
factor and your score of how many enemy ships you have destroyed. On the far
left of your controls is a number telling how many enemy bases you have
destroyed. After each round until the fifth, the enemies will start to fire
faster and faster. At the fifth round the firing stays stable. Also at the
the bottom of the controls is a panel telling if you or the computer is
flying the ship.
Use the joystick to move your sight around the screen and use the first
or red button to fire lasers. Use the second or black button to fire your
torpedoes. Press Ctrl-End to quit and Num Lock to pause the game.
