ASTEROIDS
[Note: If the game does not work please
click on the game and try again. Play this game with extreme caution! Can be
very habit-forming!!]
Use the keyboard controls described below to
manoeuvre your ship, destroying as many asteroids as you can while avoiding
collision with them. Also watch for the flying saucers armed with guided
missiles.
If you warp into hyperspace, your ship
will momentarily disappear then reappear on another part of the screen,
gradually fading in. During this time the ship is invulnerable. Likewise, when
your ship is destroyed, a new one will appear in the centre of the screen. You
can still manoeuvre and fire during this time, so if you're in imminent danger,
you'll have a couple of seconds to get out of it.
