Version 1 November,1986
VIPER is a one-player arcade game that uses 80x25 ASCII characters, and
will work on a Monochrome or Color/Graphics adapter. The object is to
shoot down as many Cylon Imperial Fighters as you can before all three
Vipers in your squadron are destroyed. Your Viper can move across the
bottom of the screen and a short distance up and down. The Cylons will
hover above you and shoot at you. Sometimes they will dive down and
attack, and in later levels they can swoop down and fire diagonally, or
dive, fire, loop, and retreat. If your lasers only nick a Cylon's
wings, it will be damaged but not destroyed. In later levels, it may
take several hits to destroy a Cylon. Likewise, your ship is usually
only damaged on the first hit, but with time, your ship will repair
itself. Until it has, your ship's engines will smoke, depending on how
bad the damage is. The controls are as follows: [8] and [2] move your
Viper up and down one character. [4] and [6] start your Viper moving
left and right. [5] stops it. [Spacebar] fires your lasers. [NumLock]
is used to pause/restart the game, and [ScrollLock] will exit the game.
