This file is best viewed in a DOS program, or with Quick View under Windows.

How to Play
-----------
Here is a description of each block in the game. Level 1 in the Standard
Levels contains every block, and teaches you almost everything about the game.

            Iris
     
             Shoot this twice to complete the level.
  
  
     
     
    

            Track Tank
  
            Fire these by moving your cursor onto them and pressing 2nd.
            They can be moved back and forward along a track using Arrows
            (see below). If one of these is hit it will be destroyed.
    
      
  

            Pod Tank
    
            Fire these in the same way as Track Tanks. They cannot be
            moved, but will rotate 90 degrees clockwise when hit by a
            laser.
    
      
    

        Arrow
      
            Move your cursor onto these and press 2nd to move a Track Tank
          along the track.
    
    
      


                Track

                This is what Tank Tracks move along. If it is hit by a laser
                it will be destroyed.





                Mirror
       
              These reflect lasers by 90 degrees when hit on the slanted
             side. They will move when hit from behind.
     
     
  
        

                Movable Block
  
              These move when hit by a laser.
    
    
      
  
        

        Steel
  
        These block the path of lasers.



  


        Brick
      
        These are destroyed after two shots.
      

      

      

          Gate
  
          These let one laser beam pass through before they close up.
        
        
  
  
  

              Acid
    
              Acid can eat through everything except more acid. If there is
              nothing in its path, acid will move and not be used up.
      
      
    
     

            Rotating Gate
  
        When fired through the gap, these will rotate 90 degrees. When 
                hit on the side, the laser will be blocked.
        

  
    


In-game Keys
------------
Arrows  Move cursor
   2nd  Fire tank (when cursor is on tank)
        Move tank (when cursor is on arrow)
   +/-  Change level
   DEL  Restart level
 CLEAR  Exit game

Changes made in port
--------------------
If you have ever played this game on the 83 you know that there are external
levels.  Since there has only been one level set (the standard one) made and
the detect routine takes up space, I decided to make the levels internal. 
Well ok I was feeling lazy and was having difficulty porting the detect routine.
Besides the levels everything else should be the same. Let me know if you find
any bugs.
