SUPER OBLITERATION

		Programmed In 1993 By David Papworth

****************************************************************************

The object of the game is simply to destroy all the asteroids, destroying
all the asteroids on a level will move you to the next one.

The level must be completed before the time limit expires, in the last 20
seconds a alert siren will sound to warn you.

In total there are 30 levels.

When an asteroid has been split, it will usually drop a pickup.

The left mouse button is used as a pause key.

Hold down fire to continually fire your gun.

If you have the spray weapon, you can tap the fire button - to just fire
a forward burst.

The longer you hold jump, the higher you will go.

The game is best played with a two button joystick (like a SEGA one),
using the DIRECTIONAL LOCK system.

If you have a Mega Drive joypad, the B button is used for firing and the
C button is used for jumping (remember to select TWO BUTTON for the joystick
type on the title screen.

The score line displays the following :-

SCORE     LIVES LEFT     TIME LEFT     STAGE ON     HIGH SCORE

If you want a harder challenge, then press the left mouse button on the
title screen - a message will then be displayed and when you start the game
no extra life pickups will be given.  There are separate high scores for
each mode.

ONE BUTTON SYSTEMS
------------------

DIRECTIONAL
Move the joystick in the direction you want the gun to point.
Hold down fire first, to prevent jumping.

DIRECTIONAL FLICK
The same as DIRECTIONAL but the gun flicks into position.

DIRECTIONAL HOLD
The same as DIRECTIONAL but holding down fire when stationary will prevent
you from moving left or right.

DIRECTIONAL FLICK HOLD
The above two systems combined.

DIAGONAL
Pull the joystick down-left or down-right to rotate your gun - pulling down
first will prevent you from moving.
This is the best one button system, if you can master it.

TWO JOYSTICKS
Use a joystick plugged into the mouse port for controlling and firing the
gun.  Just move the joystick in the direction wanted to fire and your
character will fire in that direction.  Remember not to use fire on this
joystick as it is used for the pause mode.


TWO BUTTON SYSTEMS
------------------

DIRECTIONAL, DIRECTIONAL FLICK, DIRECTIONAL HOLD, DIRECTIONAL FLICK HOLD,
DIAGONAL and TWO JOYSTICKS are used the same as the one button versions
accept that the second button replaces up for jumping.

DIRECTIONAL LOCK
Move the joystick in the direction wanted to point your gun then holding
down fire will lock it in this position, until fire is released.
This is the best system to use if you have a two button joystick.

DIRECTIONAL FLICK HOLD
The same as DIRECTIONAL LOCK but the gun flicks into position.

VERTICAL
Use up and down to rotate your gun.
