Click in the game area with your mouse or hit the 's' key to start. Use your
mouse to sight an approaching ship in your cross-hairs. A target box will light
up when an enemy ship is in your sights, giving the craft's closing speed and
range. Click the mouse button to fire.
Whenever an enemy fighter gets past you, it will fire on your ship. You will
see the screen flash and shake if they score a hit. Watch your shields - when
they go, so do you.
You can pause the game at any time by hitting the 'P' key. Hit again to
resume. Use the 'M' key to toggle sound on and off.
You will need a fast machine to play this game, I recommend at least a 200
MHz. It helps if you use a browser with a JIT (just-in-time) compiler for Java.
Internet Explorer 4.0 seems to work best. Turning off the sound effects may also
increase game speed.
For best effect, you may want to maximize your browser window before loading
the game. The page uses a script to set the applet's width and height to fit the
available window area.
