PLAYING THE GAME You sit at the controls of an advanced battle tank, looking out on the battlefield of the future. Your mission is to seek out and destroy all enemy forces operating on the asteroid you have been assigned to defend. Your own tank is equipped with a defensive shield and two kinds of weapon. Firstly you have a conventional cannon, firing high velocity armour piercing shells. In addition to these, you may fire wire guided anti-tank missiles. When fired, these are controlled by use of the left and right keys. Before the game begins, you may choose to use a variant of this missile which provides a televised 'Missile's eye view' of its flight. However, when a guided missile is in flight, you may not manoeuvre your tank. A head-up display is provided giving a 360 degree plan view of your immediate vicinity. Your tank is always in the centre of the display, the enemy guided missiles and tanks are shown relative to your position. The tanks which attack you are equipped with a conventional cannon similar to your own. When an enemy shell impacts with your tank, energy will be lost from the shield (the state of your shield is shown on a bar graph at the bottom of the display). Take care to preserve your shield, as the more tanks you destroy, the more dangerous those which replace them will become. Good luck!
