- INTRODUCTION
- This program is loosely based on a BASIC program from "The big fat Book of
- Computer Games" by Tim Hartnell, 1984.
-
- This program was written in Borland's Turbo Pascal v.5.
-
- AIM
- This is a simple "Aliens attacking Earth" game. Your objective is to RAM
- all the (defenceless) Alien ships before they can land on Earth; while
- doing this you must avoid the alien Droids which will try to RAM you!
-
- PLAY
- The game is played on a representation of near Earth space. The Aliens
- start on the left of screen, Earth is on the right and you are in the middle.
- To complicate matters, there are stationary mines which will blow up ships
- if hit, and moving "meteors" which destroy anything they hit!
-
- The game logic is very simple but the skill levels (1-9) allow the game to
- be sped up to considerably increase the level of difficulty.
-
- MOVEMENT
- Two sets of movement keys can be used:
-
- 1) on the keyboard main section:
-
- A (up)
- |
- Z (down) < (left) -- > (right)
-
- 2) on the numeric keypad:
-
- 8/up arrow (up)
- |
- 4/left arrow (left) --+-- 6/right arrow (right)

- 2/down arrow (down)
