U.F.O Tracker  v1.0 Vol.14   (((wave sound))))

This is an  Arcade SpaceCraft Simulator using real human voice as a computer
saying Red Alert and tracking U.F.O's. Sound effects of moving U.F.Os coming
at your SpaceCraft. Your at the edge of space orbiting the moon while on
patrol you see many U.F.Os coming at you. You view the U.F.Os in a 3D 5
sided display windows while you see your SpaceCraft controls in a 3D view in
front of you.

This is a bit different  than Tank Tracker, when in this game the double
dual scoring in right inside your 3D control  panel. Your mouse will become
your photon target sight aimer Fire your weapons on the incoming 3D U.F.O
targets with your real photon blaster sound.

Eye-catching special effects, 3D Earth in the background, and full scale
moon below you while you play this sim. Note you view a different object in
each 5 views.

More info on the main menu line under Help

Using New Quick Menu

New feature!
Under any of my Tracker games you get to hear and extra sound effect to
simulate actual push button or computer aided sounds effects.

Every menu item above as this effect during and after the game as well!
Options is now replaced by Speed which is your main Control Center which
will only control Speed and Timer. Note Under this ShareWare version you
can't access Speed, but you'll be told this when you click on Speed.

The Quick Menu layout is change where the Play Pause Stop are in the right
postion.

Fast game play access with your mouse, no more going through pull down Game
menu drop access to start the game. Just click on Play to play the game
right now or Pause the game if you got a phone call or etc..

The word Continue will appear when you click on Pause then click on Continue
to play on! Reset the game anytime you want during a game or even on pause
by hitting Play again to start a new game! Stop the game now and bring up
the introduction screen for a full game restart. This will happen anyway
when your game is over then click on play again to start.

Also when you do a full Exit out while playing a game whenever you want
instead of double clicking on the left bar. This comes in handy if your
boss is coming near your work area! For each time you use any of the above
menu  items you'll hear wave sound effects just like you hear from Windows.
Includes female voice greetings on Play, Stop, GameOver and Exit.

Check under Register for 7_Games Special Offer!

Now under Help will tell you more about using the above Quick Menu!

Note: Under this ShareWare version Speed is disable and game
play is set by the Author. When you register this copy Options will
be enable for you to change speed, target count, time!
This is why your strongly encourage to mail in your registered
fee to the author.

When you see this label Wave System Sound, is available only if you have
either of the following;  Sound Card or Board installed or Speaker.drv to
play the wave sound through your build in Pc speaker. Sound Card option is
better, since you can play the wave sound through you mini amp spks or
through your home stereo unit.

Note: Click on any main menu item from Options thru Help and you will hear
wave sounds also.  Now you'll also get real female voice announcement when
you click on Exit, Play, Stop and when the Game is Over that will be address
to you.

Since this game is a ShareWare Copy and is only for evaluation purposes only
OPTIONS is not available, and I already setup the game time to 1 minute and
45 seconds and speed is just set to slow and the number of open targets is
low.

This will give you a good idea how the game is played plus why you need to
send in your Register fee of only $5.25 plus .52 cents for shipping/
handling.

Under the registered version target windows are set to the max, game speed
is normal an game time is set to 5 minutes, but can be lowered by you using
the Speed & Timer Control Center. You also get higher scoring than the
shareware version. Speed can be set from this scale

[Slow |||||||||| Normal |||||||||| Fast] in the Registered version.

On the main menu Register is replace with Hints on the game. Also when you
register this game you'll can also get a none sound version & this sound
version for the same shareware fee if you like. Registered users get,
TipNews Letter when it's available, coupons off your next order of games.
