How to start the program:
=========================
If you HAVE a SoundBlaster type card, be sure your BLASTER environment
variable is set Type OidZone at the DOS prompt.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to play:
Your job is to clear the OidZone of Asteroids and other hazardous
objects. You have a fast ship and a pulse-cannon to blast away
at anything in your path.
To clear the oidzone, you must first blast the asteroids into many small
pieces, then destroy each piece individually. You must be very careful,
as any of the smaller asteroids can easily destroy your small ship. Once
you clear your zone, you will go to another, more difficult zone.
BEWARE: As an incentive to clear the oidzone quickly, your bosses will
periodically send a homing swarm mine at you. These are particularly nasty,
as they will hunt you down and destroy you if you don't keep moving. If
you blast a mine, it will break into two smaller mines which will try
to surround you. If you blast these they too will break into two mines
each, and all will attempt to swarm you. Keep your finger on the
hyperspace key for a fast getaway. You can destroy the smallest of the
swarm mines.
