- type: QB moon35.bas
- press F5 to start the game

- use moon340.bas & moon340h.bas if you have a slower computer


Tips & Troubleshooting

> I got an load error after the game's finished

- in Windows, run the game from the same directory where the rest
  of the game-files are installed.

> The game appears slow and flickery and the animation is hacky.

- run the game in plain MS-DOS mode, not from a Windows DOS-Box	

> The controls are pretty snaggy

- use the NUM-PAD keys to Steer instead of the ARROW-keys;
  also try to run in MSDOS mode.

> The game plays like an old chewing gum...

- Yech, your Computer is gonna be too slow !
  Dont try to run it on an 486er machine, unless you have a fast 486-DX100!
- Try out the 2nd version of the game.

> The graphics do suck!

- Hmm...yech, good point! Let me think... turn off your monitor and play
  after speaker sound (like i always do). This adds an extra degree of 
  difficulty and thrill to the game!

> The sound's crappy too!

- Righteous again. Turn sound off (like i do), and insert your best
  heavy- or hardrock CD into the CD-ROM player !
  


Gaming hints:

- Use Numpad keys instead of Arrows for better control
- hold your ship in the middle and most time in the left corner
  the right corner is often stroke by kamikaze aliens !
- advanced players let the 1st section crash first to
  get the 2nd section, thus having double firepower.
- collision detection is quite forgiving (and not
  very accurate); so it earns play risky - your ship can take
  several hits before exploding !
- the weakest point of you ship is always on the top,
  where the I.section is located,
  but the bottom-shield of the III.section is very hard displaced
  and nearly undestructable.


Source-Hacking tips:

- you can modify the hiscore list with any text-editor
- alter Level & Stage - variables to your convenience
- If the game flickers, play with WAIT &h3da,8,8 and CLS
  instructions in the source. However if your machine is much
  slower than 200mhz flicker is inevitable; --> instead run moon340.bas
- Compiling wont work, since the game reloads the highscore-part
- Quickbasic 4.5 is the better choice over QB 1.1!
