SPACE WAR (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
Take the controls of a sleek starship. Trek for light years with a flick of the joystick. Penetrate the
boundaries of strange galaxies. Beware the gravity of a strange sun. Drive invisibly through hyperspace.
Blast through 17 games and variations as you make the universe a better place to live in!
Controls
Just like learning to drive a car, it takes a bit of practice to learn how to control your Star Ship during
Space War and Space Shuttle games. Pushing up on your Joystick will engage your ship’s thrust, while
pushing down will send you in to hyperspace! Pushing left or right on your joystick will move your ship
left or right accordingly.
Space Glossary
Space Combat and Shuttle game playfields are characterized by different "galaxy" variations. The
following descriptions will tell you what to expect when a game features any of these variations.
Galaxy Boundry
In some galaxies your Star Ship cannot penetrate the playfield boundaries and will instead bounce off
the edges.
Warp Drive
Move your Star Ship off one edge of the Galaxy Boundary and it will go into Warp Drive and
reappear on the opposite side. For example, move your Star Ship off the right edge and it will reappear on
the left edge.
Space Sun
Fight the pull of gravity from the sun in the center of the Space Galaxy. In some games your Star Ship
will explode from exposure to the extreme heat and reset to the starting position.
Hyperspace
Pull your Joystick towards you. Your Star Ship goes into Hyperspace and becomes invisible. When in
Hyperspace, your Star Ship uses more fuel. It is impossible to be hit by your opponent’s missiles or to
collide with the Space Sun while in Hyperspace. To make your Star Ship drop out of Hyperspace and
reappear, pull the Joystick towards you.
Starbase
Make contact with the Starbase at the center of the galaxy to refuel and resupply your missiles. Your
missile and fuel gauges at the top of the playfield will reflect resupplies as your Star Ship resets to the
starting point.
