mouse below the cross hairs moves you in reverse.  The farther

away from the center crosshairs, the faster you move.  To move

Game story

An attack by an alien race forces the commander of Asteroid

IF-1 to freeze everything on the asteroid- humans aliens, secrets!

Now you have been selected as the frozen survivors only hope...

In Ice & Fire you are able to decide the course of action - fast

paced shoot them up or a more methodical game of exploration

and elimination.  The game consists of two parts.  In the first

part, the fly-through, you can explore the mystical terrain of the

asteroid.  This has been shortened for the demo, but should give

you the idea.

You are in search of eight unique space stations.  IN the demo

you encounter the third maze - the Power Station.  Equipped only

with your Ice & Fire blasters, you must uncover what lies within

the icy crystals!


Misc.

If you have only 8 MB of ram, you need to be sure that your

windows swap file (virtual memory) is set for at least 12 MB.

Check to see that smartdrive.exe has also been started in your

autoexec.bat file.
