            WELCOME TO THE GAME OF ASTEROIDS.

The object of the game, is to destroy the asteroids before
they destroy you.

You control the spaceship which initially starts in the
centre of the window.

Holding down the LEFT button of the mouse rotates the
spaceship anticlockwise.
Holding down the RIGHT button of the mouse rotates the
spaceship clockwise.
Pressing the MIDDLE button will fire a missile out of the
front of the spaceship.

You can enter hyperspace by pressing the 't' or the R3 function
key. This will return you to the screen in a random position.

You can turn your rocket motors on with 'g' or the R1 function
key. Pressing 's' or the R2 function key will turn your rocket
motors off.

To quit the game at any time, just press the q key.

Rotating the shapeship, moving or entering hyperspace uses up fuel.
Running out of fuel will eventually render you helpless.

Fuel tanks are refilled every 6000 points scored per spaceship,
and for each new spaceship.

You get a new spaceship every 10000 points. There are bonus
points for each set of asteroids you destroy. Also the smaller
your window, the more bonus you get.

You have three spaceships to start with. Good luck!!

Hit RETURN to start the game.
