3D ASTEROIDS by RALPH EFFEMEY
************************************
3D ASTEROIDS is similar to the classic ASTEROIDS but-
yes, you guessed it!-it's in glorious 3D.
The object of the game is to clear the spaceways in your
sector of space junk and asteroids. You have the latest space
craft fitted with defence shields.
Unfortunately, a few space pirates are trying to stop you
in your dangerous task as space junk and certain asteroids
are very profitable if taken to Earth and traded for more
interesting commodities!!!
However, the Space Corp does not approve of this scavenging
and your Rules of Engagement permit you to destroy any craft
firing on you (or looks as though it is about to fire on you!)
To play, simply shoot as many asteroids as possible without
getting hit. You will lose shields if you are hit by
an asteroid and if you are hit when your shields are down
you will die and the game is over.
You can collect extra shields by COLLECTING (not shooting) the
SHIELD PODS and you can collect extra photon torpedos
by COLLECTING the PHOTON PODS.
You will run out of photon torpedos so this function
is quite useful!!!
Complete one level and you go onto the next where everything
moves just that bit quicker. Shoot the Pirate ship for extra
points and the GOLD asteroids for extra shields.
'R' switches on your RADAR but due to the extra work
the ST has to do this slows the game down quite considerably
but I've left the function in in case someone would like
to use this routine in their own games.
You can re-start a game from the PAUSE mode by using
the FIRE button, moving the JOYSTICK or pressing any key
GOOD LUCK
