| Playing the
Game |
| Use the
keyboard controls described below to maneuver your ship,
destroying as many asteroids as you can while avoiding collision
with them. Also watch for the flying saucers armed with guided
missiles.
If you warp into hyperspace, your ship will momentarily
disappear then reappear on another part of the screen, gradually
fading in. During this time the ship is invulnerable. Likewise,
when your ship is destroyed, a new one will appear in the center
of the screen. You can still maneuver and fire during this time so
if you are in imminent danger, you have a couple of seconds to get
out of it.
