!ShootUp (c) 1992 Linton Dawe.

This is a simple mouse controlled shoot up game.
You must destroy as many of the alien craft as you
can by using the mouse to move and pressing any
mouse button to fire your laser.  The sound
effects are quite simple (they only use the system
voice set) but are VERY loud so you are advised to
do a *Speaker off and/or a *Volume 80 before
playing!  The game might seem easy at first as
there is only one alien on the screen at any one
time, but the speed of the aliens increases quite
dramatically as the game progresses and if an
alien crashes into you then you are killed
instantly.  Just in case you still think it sounds
easy, you have a limited amount of power in your
laser (indicated by the blue bar at the top of the
screen) which does not recharge. There is a total
of 150 aliens, but most people get killed before
meeting many more than 100 of them (at least on
their first few attempts).  Good luck with your
quest!!
