Manual
------

This game is very simple to play, but I'll explain briefly how it works.
First thing you must do, after launch MISSION ASTEROIDS, is to insert the
password (if you are not registered, insert a wrong one to start playing 
in "Evaluation Mode").

When password checks are finish you will see the main menu where you
can choose, with arrow keys:
 - to start game;
 - see the option menu;
 - see credits page (informations about the author);
 - exit to Dos;

In the option menu you can change some game parameters as:
 - difficulty level;
 - controls (you can choose two different control configurations);
 - cd tracks (if you want to listen your favorite CD while you are playing);
 - volume of fx, music and master.
 

Starting game you will see the ship (you can move in every place of the video) and asteroids 
approaching to you.

Ship can perform different action as:
 - Rotate Left     (Default left arrow);
 - Rotate Right    (   "    right arrow);
 - Advance         (   "    up arrow);
 - Decelerate      (   "    down arrow);
 - Launch Missiles (   "    space);
 - Normal Fire     (   "    control);
 - Iperspace       (   "    alt);

Asteroides has different sizes and speed and some of them may countain:
 - Energy;
 - Fire Up;
 - Missiles;

Every 10 levels you have to destroy a big asteroid to change scenery.

You can win some life up with your score skills following this schema:
 - First at 100000;
 - Second at 500000;
 - then every 1000000 (1000000,2000000,3000000...);


Requirements
------------

This game was developed on a Pentium 133Mhz whit an S3+ 2Mb of video card,
but I tested it on a Pentium 233Mhz, Pentium-II 233Mhz and K6-350Mhz with
several video cards.

Minimum requirements:
     
       - Pentium 233Mhz with 16Mb of RAM
       - S3 Virge with 2Mb of RAM
       - Sound Blaster 100% compatible or Gravis Ultra Sound
	

Recommanded:

       - Pentium-II 233Mhz with 32Mb of RAM
       - a FAST videocard (Matrox Mistique for instance)  
       - Sound Blaster 100% compatible or Gravis Ultra Sound


Above Pentium 233 the game skips too much frames in any situation (big
asteroids for instance).


Registration
------------

I spent a lot of time to carry out the program and graphics, besides this
is my FIRST game. Who pays for this product, will encourage me to continue in 
this experience and improve the service that I want offer to my customers.


What do I get and what I must pay?

If you register you'll receive a password that unlocks this game.
To get this you must pay the amount of US$12.

  running REGISTER.exe and send it to:
