Super Ships 2 is a fast action, space combat game. If you don't have the fast reflexes required for this type of game, don't worry about it. You can always watch the computer fight itself with ships that YOU made. Super Ships 2 can be played with none, one, or two players.
Requirements:
68020 (68030 recommended)
13"+ 256 color/gray monitor
4,300K Ram
I suggest you quit all other applications before playing Super Ships 2. Especially if you are using Ram Doubler or Virtual Ram.
Controls:
<<Player 1>>
U - Thrust
H - Turn Left
K - Turn Right
J - Brake
ctrl - Shoot
option - Special
<<Player 2>>
8 - Thrust
4 - Turn Left
6 - Turn Right
5 - Brake
shift - Shoot
return - Special
If you don't like the controls for any reason, you can change them in the preferences. I recommend when playing a two player game, that one of the players use the mouse control.
More Info:
Super Ships 2 uses an idea I developed that I like to call "Poly-Graphics". All of the ships, items, and asteroids are made up of polygons. Instead of having hundreds of fancy pictures that take tons of memory, the only information the game needs are a few simple planer coordinates. That's why Super Ships is so physically small.
How good the ships look relies completely on the designer of the ship. A very skilled person can make the ships look as if they were rendered. If you are not a good designer, you can also use other people's ship files that have been uploaded.
