Description of Lunker
=====================
Lunker is a survival game that requires skill (and a bit of luck) to win.
It is available as shareware. This means that you are free to use it, copy
it, and distribute it. You cannot charge anything for LUNKER except nominal
fees to cover copying and distribution.
Help is available online. A brief synopsis -
Framed for a crime, condemned to five years' hard-labor mining asteroids,
you've just crashed into a particularly dangerous one. Lunker puts you
inside the asteroid with six simultaneous 3D displays of what is
happening around you. Add to this an electronic map, an asteroid
projection screen, monsters that cannot see around corners, onboard
motion detectors, a sense of humor and a deadline that must be met.
Features include: carving new tunnels if you have enough fuel or can get
more; save/restore; online help; icing canisters to freeze the bad guys.
Even when you get good at it, it's fun to play because every asteroid is
different.
If you play LUNKER beyond a reasonable trial period, you are expected to
register it by mailing $5 to:
