- Quick Instructions
-
- The following information is a brief summary of the instuctions to help
- you get started. You can type F2 at any time during the game to read the
- complete instructions.
-
-
- Mouse
-
- The mouse controls your flight stick and the buttons fire the weapons. To
- fire the missiles click the left mouse button. To fire the lasers keep the
- right mouse button pressed down.
-
-
- Weapons
-
- To fire your weapons you must have a lock on a target. To get a lock you
- must maneuver the target until it is between your crosshairs.
-
- If you have a missile lock on a target a circle will appear around the
- target and the targets shield strength will be displayed below and to the
- right.
-
- If you have a laser lock, 4 lines will appear around the target. If you
- have both a laser and a missile lock on the same target only the missile lock
- is displayed.
-
-
- Radar
-
- The large circle on the left is the 2 dimensional radar. Objects above
- you are orange and objects below you are green. The large circle on the right
- is the 3 dimensional radar. Objects in front of you are green and objects
- behind you are orange. Cruisers are represented as vectors, flares as dots
- and missiles as flashing dots.
-
-
- Flares
-
- You can fire flares to decoy missiles and block enemy cruisers from
- locking on your cruiser. Just fire the flare so that it comes between your
- cruiser and the enemy cruiser or missile. The two keys to use are:
-
- v - Fire flare forward.
- c - Fire flare backward.
-
-
- Missile Warning
-
- If a missile has a lock on your cruiser you will see a flashing missile
- symbol to the lower left of the crosshairs.

-
- Keyboard
-
- During the game the following keys can be used:
-
- F1 - Quick instructions. F3 - Toggle sound on or off.
- F2 - Instructions. Esc - To quit.
-
- F5 - The program needs to know if you are using a 2 or 3 button mouse. For
- example, if you have a 3 button mouse you can use the middle button to
- fire instead of the right one.
-
- F9 - If you change the configuration from its default by using the F5 key,
- it will only affect the current game you are playing. To make the
- change permanent you must hit this key.
-
-
- Problems
-
- If you have problems running this software try the following:
-
- If you aren't reading the mouse buttons correctly, the problem is most
- likely the button assignment. A two button mouse should have the button
- assignment LR. A three button mouse should have the button assignment LMR.
- Set the mouse driver for these.
-
- If your running from a DOS shell, reboot the computer and run the program
- directly from DOS.
-
- Remove any TSR's other than the mouse driver before running this program.
-
- Systems that have a turbo mode should be run in turbo mode.
-
- This game must be played with the Caps Lock off.
