Schizoids from Imagine A penniless space wanderer you are starving and desperate to earn some money. Stranded on the outer rim of the galaxy you take the only couse left open to you and apply for the job of interstellar refuse disposal consultant (dustbinman). You soon regret that rash moment when you signed on the bottom line. The job turns out to be the most dangerous and most lonely in the universe. Stranded ten parsecs from the nearest trace of life you have only a terrifying black hole for company and to make things worse most of the galaxy is hurling enormous pods of rubbish at you! To be fair they're not really aiming at you personally, but at the black hole. But being such awful shots (or perhaps because black holes are fairly invisible against black space) they usually miss it and the garbage ends up in orbit around the hole. That's where you come in. All you have to do is push the garbage pods out of orbit and into the hole. Sounds easy. But the universe being such a deverse and varied place, the worlds whose rubbish is packaged according to individual preference impart slight spins to it in order that it will have a nice pretty trajectory. Still it's not all gloom and doom. You have a pretty neat Space-Dozer to do the job with. It'll handle any type of head-on collision with its anti-momentum shovel up front. And with a bit of practice you can even stabilise a spinning pod with the skyhook on the back. Pity the sides are so fragile. Still, you're a pretty good astro pilot. And they do say you can have some fun too. Once you get a bit good at it you can use other pods to do the work for you. Bounce them off each other and ricochet them into the hole. Strange names that they have for the pods, "boxes", "rods", "trays", "spangles" and all the rest. Wonder why they pay by the minute? You start the game with four Dozers. Your score is the length of time you have survived. How to control the Dozer """""""""""""""""""""""" There are a large number of keys which may be used. You should choose the combination with which you feel most comfortable. Left - The keys to rotate left are CAPS SHIFT, X, V, N, SYMBOL SHIFT Right - Rotate right Z, C, B, M, SPACE Thrust - To thrust in the direction the Dozer is pointing. A, S, D, F, G, etc. Flip - Flip the dozer through 180 degrees with Q, W, E, R, T, etc. In addition if a key on the top row is pressed the game will "freeze". Pressing any key not on the top row will allow you to resume the game. The bottom status line """""""""""""""""""""" The figures on the bottom row represent from left to right: - The time you have survived so far in the current game. - The number of Dozers available for use. - The longest period you have survived so far. You gain an extra Dozer for each "spangle" you send into the hole. To stop the Dozer simply flip it through 180 degrees and thrust until you stop.
