SPACE RACE

METHOD OF PLAY

Maneuver your ship around the four cornered "race track" in space while destroying
hordes of alien ships: Collectors, Swarmers, and Berserkers. As you fly around the
race track bouncing off walls, watch out for the mines laid by the Swarmers. You
may use the keyboard or joystick.

ALIEN           POINTS             MOVEMENTS

Mines           25                 Static
Collectors      200 (first hit)    Float at random
Collectors      100 (last hit)     Float at random
Swarmers        400                Chase you slowly and fire missiles
Berserkers      600                Actively chase you and fire missiles

When a Swarmer is killed, a Collector will become a Swarmer, and if a Swarmer is
left alone too long it will give birth to a Berserker which immediately attacks
you.

BONUS SHIP

You start each game with four ships and are awarded a bonus ship every 10,000
points. The number of ships you currently have is shown on the right bottom of 
the screen. You may only accumulate a maximum of five extra ships. Each time you
are awarded an extra ship the skill level increases by two.

HIGH LEVEL ATTACK WAVES

The game will get harder each time you clear the screen. At higher level attack
waves the Collectors must be hit twice to be destroyed. One hit is indicated by
a hole in the middle of the Collector and the second hit vaporizes him. At an 
even higher level the race track will disappear for one board.

DIFFICULTY LEVELS

Choose skill level 0-15, with level 15 being the most difficult game.
