MOON RESCUE - John Miller - (ZX Computing-Aug/Sep 83-Page 98)



RESCUE THE ASTRONAUTS IN THIS LUNAR LISTING FRO YOUR SPECTRUM, COURTESY OF

JOHN MILLER.



The object of the game is to rescue the ten astronauts stranded on the moon.

You have three rather ancient space craft capable only of left and right

movement, and an initial thrust to clear the surface of the moon.

  At the beginning of the game, you are docked in your mothership traversing

left and right at the top of the screen. Below are asteroid-type objects, and

all you have to do is to get through this layer and you'll find the astronauts

on the surface of the moon.



MOON MADNESS



To start your descent, press the '0'; after that you can only move left and

right using the '5' and '8' keys respectively - you descend automatically.

During your descent you must avoid hitting the asteroids and then attempt to

land your craft on the magenta landing pads. Once down safely, there will be

a short delay while one of the astronauts clambers aboard. You then have to

make your way back to the mothership, this time trying to avoid the cyan enemy

ships which guard the planet.

  To begin your ascent, press the '0' key again and then guide your ship using

the cursor keys to move left and right until you dock with the mothership.

Once docked, you unload your human cargo and head off to rescue another

astronaut.

 The game ends when you have either rescued all ten astronauts or lost all

three of your ships. Should you find the game to easy, you could always alter

the velocities of the asteroids and the enemy space craft by changing the

value of PINC in line 9042.





- All this about keyboard controls, this version has been modified to use the

  Kempston Joystick.
