INTRODUCTION:
This is an upgrade version from 1.6. Almost the entire game has been revamped, including interface, speed, options, space ship designs, and preferences. The production of Space Arena 1.6 has been discontinued, and this version officialy takes it's place. Space Arena 1.6 is not longer available.
GAME SENARIO:
You are the pilot of a one manned space ship, fighting against an unknown Alien force. Your only duty, is to destroy the enemy vessels.
PILOTING:
Piloting your UFO is simple. Just point and click. Wherever you click the mouse, that is where your UFO will fly to, anywhere on the screen.
FIRING:
You have one weapon, your lasers. To fire your lasers, point at the other ship with the mouse, hold down the option-key, and click the mouse button. That will fire your lasers. (NOTE: Your lasers are not very reliable. You must hit a direct hit onto the enemy ship in order to hit it.)
ALIEN UFO:
The Alien UFO is an alien, in an american style UFO from another solar system. But he does have considerable advantages over you. His ship is more manuverable faster. It can run, fire, and run away again, before you know it. You do have one important tactical advantage however, intelligence. The aliens are very intelligent, but not as intelligent as humans. When fighting, the alien UFO may pass up opportunities to fire on you...or halt and fire when your laser is blasting across his hull. Sometimes they will stay still after a long fight, resting, which gives you the chance to blast them into rubble.
SCORING:
Scoring is determined on how many times you destroyed the alien UFO, or how many times he destroyed you. Your score is labeled in blue, his is in red.
COLORS:
Standard coloring for the alien is red. Coloring for you is a light blue. Monitor color is chosen in the preferences screen. It can be toggled between Color, black and white, or grays. For speed reasons, it is best to choose the color setting, that is the same as your monitor.
CHOOSING SHIPS:
The standard ship for you, is the American UFO. The standard ship for the alien is the Alien UFO. To choose a ship, drag the slider across the bar, to choose the ship you want. It is best to choose a different ship for you and the enemy, so that you can better tell from each other.
SOUND LEVEL:
The sound level can be risen or lowered by moving the sound volume slider right to raise, left to lower.
DISPLAY TCI's:
If selected, this option shows what the alien is thinking, while the game is playing. The messages appear in the top right corner.
DISPLAYING LARGER VIEW:
