3D SPACE WARS - INSTRUCTIONS

SCENARIO
You have assumed complete control of your world's last fighter-killer
class spacecraft. It is only you who can prevent the ultimate disaster -
the destruction of your civilisation by the SEIDDAB, an unscrupulous
race of murderers intent on total control of your star system.

THE DISPLAY
The program provides you with an authentic view of your spacecraft's
control centre. The Viewport is in the upper part of the screen and
through it you can see a laser gun sight superimposed on a limited
view of the galaxy showing stars, constellations, SEIDDAB spacecraft
and a refuelling point.

Below the Viewport are the shipboard instruments. On the right are
analogue displays of your fuel and speed, a digital readout of your total
battle score and graphic displays of the number of enemy craft
destroyed in the current fleet and the number of refuelling points
used.

On the lower left your Deep Space Wrap Around Galaxy Scanner
shows all the SEIDDAB spacecraft in the fleet. The refuelling point is
also displayed but is indistinguishable from enemy craft.

PREPARATION
When a fleet of SEIDDAB are detected the Viewport flashes and then
clears to show the enemy craft dispersing into battle formation. You
can track the craft visually on the Viewport and more remotely on the
Galaxy Scanner.

You can manoeuvre your ship and close on the SEIDDAB to reach
firing range using any of the following groups of keys or AGF or 
KEMPSTON joysticks :

ACTION	           GROUP OF KEYS           JOYSTICK
Move left          A,S, left arrow         Left
Move right         F,G, right arrow        Right

Deccelerate        N,M                     -
Fire laser gun     U,I,O,P, zero           Fire button

To destroy a SEIDDAB ship you must have it centred in your laser
sights. The closer you are the better chance you have of securing a hit
but you are also more vulnerable to his laser bolts, although if you are
fast enough you can dodge them.

TACTICS
To become an advanced player, you will find it essential to learn how
to control your ship with precision. When a SEIDDAB craft is too far
away for you to hit move towards him, fire and retire before he has a
chance to retaliate.

When the game starts your ship is fully refuelled but the faster you
travel, the more you fire and the more you are hit the faster your
reserves are depleted. To refuel, find the refuelling point, approach it
carefully and align its central cross with your laser sights. Remain
aligned until your fuel banks are replenished.

When the refuelling point is exhausted it automatically detonates to
prevent the SEIDDAB making use of the facility. When you have
cleared the enemy fleet from the galaxy a new refuelling point is
installed ready for the next wave.

THE SEIDDAB
Your enemy attack in waves of twenty-four and their usual strategy is
to send in their slower, less heavily armed spacecraft first. This gives
you an essential opportunity to develop your skills. If the SEIDDAB
press their attacks successfully your fuel level will drop to zero,
condemning you to drift blind and helpless in the void of hyperspace.
