DESCRIPTION

  Solar System Wars is a game similar to Space Wars, pitting two
  players against each other, in orbit around 0 to 4 stars.  Choose
  from 53 different solar systems, or turn on the random system
  selector for a new challenge every round.  A variety of weapons are
  available.  Two or three button joysticks are strongly recommended,
  but not required.  Both NTSC and PAL are supported.  Binary only.

NEW FEATURES

  * Now support for three-button joysticks!

  * Everyone now gets Full Shields all the time, controlled by the
    third button, or the left/right Alt key.

  * New extra weapons!  Get ready for the Anomalizer, Disruptor,
    Guided Torp, and the Cluster Pod!  Sadly, Flip Ship has gone to
    that bit bucket in the sky.

  * Four star solar systems!

  * New Beginner mode, which keeps the Random System mode from picking
    high-gravity solar systems.

  * Each player now gets twelve active torpedos instead of nine.

  * Improved Seeker code.  They no longer are useless in high gravity
    systems.

  * SSW's sound effects now come in an IFF file!  Add your own sounds!
    Amaze your friends!  Confound your enemies!

  * Fixed the sprite glitching problem on slower machines.

  * SSW no longer adds an input event handler to eat mouse events.  No
    more compatibility problems with Commodities or other handlers.

  * Added a New Game requester that shows up after someone wins.
