!Help File for Eclipse (31st October 1996, about 20.44)
What is Eclipse then?
Well Eclipse is basically another Space Invaders clone, but better, in Space Invaders you didn't get to Nuke the Aliens or blow them up with missles, did you?
How do you play it?
The controls are very simple:- Z - Left
X - Right
Return - Fire (or launch Nuke or Missiles)
Space - Collect current power up
Q - Quit to Desktop
To play the game you have to move the ship left to right (Using Z and X) and blow them up, by shooting them (Using Return). The Aliens will drop bombs on you, you have to avoid them or else you will be lose one of your three lives.
If you do sucessfully kill an alien some may drop stars. These stars are your
path to power-ups. The more stars you collect the better the power - up is.
1 Star - Speed : It speeds up the whole movement of your ship
2 Stars - Rate : This speeds up the rate of fire (works with Missiles)
3 Stars - Shot : Increases the amount of bullets fired
4 Stars - Missile : Instead of firing bullets you fire missiles
(Unregistered users dont get the following)...
5 Stars - Nuke : No more bullets you can nuke 'em (you only have 5)
6 Stars - Shield : Have a nice shield that will withheld one bomb, destroys
itself after time
You current power-up is shown on the bar at the bottom.

The Aim Of the Game:-
To get back to Earth in time for the next episode of 'DUCK LODGERS IN THE
34TH CENTURY'.Basically, kill all the aliens get the required amount of
points, move on to the next level until you complete the game, easy!? If you
complete Easy you don't get an End sequence. On Medium you get a cut-down
End Sequence, complete Hard and you get the full end sequence, and as you're
unregistered you don't get these at all!
Erm, I think thats it, no more, But if you do have any problems or bug
