Overview

3D ASTEROIDS is similar to the classic ASTEROIDS but-yes, you guessed it!-it's in glorious 3D. The object of the game is to clear the spaceways in your sector of space junk and asteroids. You have the latest spacecraft fitted with defence shields. Unfortunately, a few space pirates are trying to stop you from your dangerous task as space junk and certain asteroids are very profitable if taken to Earth and traded for more interesting commodities!!! However, the Space Corp does not approve of this scavenging and your Rules of Engagement permit you to destroy any craft firing on you (or looks as though it is about to fire on you!) To play, simply shoot as many asteroids as possible without getting hit. You will lose shields if you are hit by an asteroid and if you are hit when your shields are down you will die and the game is over. You can collect extra shields by COLLECTING (not shooting) the SHIELD PODS and you can collect extra photon torpedos by COLLECTING the PHOTON PODS. You will run out of photon torpedos so this function is quite useful!!! Complete one level and you go onto the next where everything moves just that bit quicker. Shoot the Pirate ship for extra points and the GOLD asteroids for extra shields. R' switches on your RADAR but due to the extra work the ST has to do this slows the game down quite considerably but I've left the function in in case someone would like to use this routine in their own games. You can re-start a game from the PAUSE mode by using he FIRE button, moving the JOYSTICK or pressing any key GOOD LUCK
