Asteroids
| Wait for the applet and
sounds to finish loading, this may take a minute or two. The game screen will show
"Game Over - 'S' to Start" once everything is ready. In the meantime you can
review the instructions below. Note:
If the game doesn't seem to be responding to key presses, click your mouse pointer in the
game area. |
| 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 missals.
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 invunerable. 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. |
