****************************************************
AntiGrav v.2.0 by the Raj.
****************************************************
Was originally released commercially, but nobody
bought it. Boo hoo. Oh well, as a special (?) gift
to everybody in the Comp.Sys.Acorn.Games group,
I've decided to release it public domain, thus
saving you a fiver on the release price. (Huzzah!)
****************************************************
"You know that English cricket team?" asked the
gruff old space captain.
"I have observed them." replied the brash young
antigrav pilot.
"You know their chances against the West Indies?"
"I have laid long odds on them, yes."
"That's your chances, that is."
"Oh buggery."
The oxygen plant was the only thing standing
between the newly colonised underwater sea base
and extinction. And now a planet wide earthquake has
knocked the filtration units out of sync. Only
one man has the skill and mandatory low intellect
sufficient to pilot the experimental anti grav
equipped shuttle craft around the underwater oxygen
hydrolyser plant and shut down the filter units.
Can you do it? Can you save the station? And can
Ipswich win the cup? These and many less important
questions will be answered in Anti-grav!
Your ship is equipped with a rudimantary anti
gravity device. It will allow your ship to fall at
a uniform rate. Boosters and magneto coils are also
built in to ensure a smooth ride.
Carefully land the shuttle on each of the thirty
filter units to save sea base. Nothing can save
Ipswich's chances now that they have sold Dozzel to
Spurs so don't worry about them too much.
There are eight increasingly difficult levels.
Press P for password and then type the four letter
ident code.
****************************************************
Controls
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Z = Left.
X = Not left. Right in fact.
Return = Thrust.
" = Super thrust.
/ = Magneto Surge (tm). (er, down)
Functions
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
P = Pause / Password.
Space = Start game.
Pressing P during the game brings up the options
screen where you can :
a) Unpause.
b) Switch between stereo sound, music or silence.
c) Switch between A3010 joysticks and keyboard.
d) Lose all remaining lives.
****************************************************
After the ship has just blown up (and it will)
you will be temporarily invulnerable but only left,
right and normal thrust will operate until the ship
is vulnerable again. And then you can quite happily
fly too quickly into the ceiling and explode.
After each unsuccessful mission you will be
given a performance rating in a similar fashion
to a certain space trading game. Remember, the
Dark Wheel are watching you. Avenge your father's
death and discover the meaning behind Raaxla.
Deadly is as close to being dead as it is close
to Milton Keynes. Or somesuch.
"You know the England football team?" asked the
gruff old space captain.
"Yes, I know the England football team."
"Well could you get Gazza's autograph for me
then?"
"Hmmmm."

Warning all pirates -
Copyright me. So anyone caught nicking bits will be
locked up in a padded cell and read poetry to.
Pirates.
I hate pirates. I especially hate their
stupid wooden legs and stupid parrots. And the way
they say 'Ahh har har me hearties, jim bob and a
bottle of rum on a dead man's chest. Pieces of eight
and shiver mi timbers. Har Har." And stuff like that.
