Mission XK1
===========

Mission XK1
-----------
You command the SS Explorer on a dangerous mission, codename XK1, to land
on the planet Zyphon in order to collect liquid Zyphoneum, a much needed
fuel for your planet's space fleet. Progress is hampered however by
Zyphon's only moon Zaxos slowly breaking up, creating an ever-increasing
band of asteroids which circle the planet.

Another problem is limited fuel, which once exhausted eliminates upward
thrust whilst landing, although taking off again is no problem as the mother
ship will use its tractor beam to haul you to safety whilst you destroy
the deadly asteroids with your phaser.

Written entirely in machine code, features include:

1. top ten hall of fame,
2. pause feature, and
3. option of joystick or keyboard control.



Important Notes
---------------
When landing the module on the pads, both the
lander's feet must be on the pad, but may overhang on
either side.

The opening musical sequence will be completed before allowing you to enter
your name (and start the game).

This can be cut short by holding down the 'C' key.



Scores
------
Landing on large pad ... 50 points
Landing on middle pad ... 100 points
Landing on small pad ... 150 points
Docking with mother ship ... 200 points
Destroying large asteroids ... 100 points
Destroying small asteroids ... 200 points
Destroying comets ... 500 points

A bonus will be awarded after each successfully completed
screen, calculated by multiplying the amount of fuel left
by the number of successful dockings by the number of
completed screens.

A hall of fame is included and will be updated automatically
with your name and score if it comes within the top ten.
