Informations about WinAsteroids
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WinAsteroids is a small, nice game for Windows 95/98/NT based
upon the "Asteroids" game idea

WinAsteroids requires :

	* Windows 95/98 or Windows NT

WinAsteroids consists of following files (as ZIP-archiv):

	* WinAsteroids.EXE (the programm)
	* shot1.wav, shot2.wav, expls1.wav (sound-files)

	* HIST_ENG.TXT  (informations about older versions
	  and possibilities for Support, Questions, ...)
	* README.TXT (this file)

	* if this is the unregistered shareware- version,
	  there is a file called REG_ENG.TXT that 
	  provides informations about registration

Installing WinAsteroids
=======================

Just decompress the zip-archive into the directory you
wish and run the programm WinAsteroids.exe


Using WinAsteroids
==================

The game has only one aim: to collect as many points by
shooting Asteroids and flying saucers. 
You can control your ship with the arrow-keys (turn left
or right and accelerate), fire with space and raise the
shields by pressing "s", but be careful, the shields energy
is limited.
If you can destroy a flying saucer, there remains a extra
life, shield energy or special ammo.
There are two special weapons : a railgun that has a much
higher cadence than the standard weapon, and a nuclear-driven
gun that destroyes a asteroid with one hit, but the cadence
is very low.
A yes, I nearly forgot, resizing the window results in
lower or higher Scores per Asteroid or UFO hit. And,
if the window becomes too large the performance will
go down.
