- Alien Force is a simple "blast everything that moves" game for Windows 3.0.
- It was inspired by fond (albeit vague) memories of an old TRS-80 game called
- "Attack Force", which I found very addictive. I've tried to capture at least
- some of the essence of that game here.
-
- To install it, copy the files AFORCE.EXE and AFORCE.HLP to a directory on your
- hard disk, then use New Program Item in the Files menu of the Program Manager
- to install Alien Force in one of your program group windows.
-
- When you start the game, the playing grid will be displayed, with your ship
- in the lower right corner and a row of evil dudes along the top row. The
- arrow keys move your ship. The "S" key (or the number-pad "5" key when NUM-
- LOCK is on) stops your ship, and the "R" key reverses its direction. The
- space bar fires a missile (you can fire only one at a time).
-
- You will receive 100 points for each ship you destroy. Each time you wipe out
- all of the enemy ships, you ascend to the next level of play (and receive a
- sizeable quantity of bonus points). Don't dilly-dally -- your score decreases
- as time goes by with no enemy ships hit.
-
- At each higher level, the game becomes a little bit faster and the enemy a
- little bit smarter. A few surprises await, too.
