Welcome to ASTEROIDS for the
ATARI ST/E/TT/Falcon.

The default keys for ASTEROIDS are

Q,W	rotate left and right
O	thrust
P	fire
SPACE	hyperspace
HELP	Pause
UNDO	Abort

This version of ASTEROIDS is different
from the version that was released 6
months ago, in that this one will work
on MONO systems.  It has also had a
few annoying little bugs fixed.

Asteroids is very simple to play.

Control your ship using the rotate left
and right buttons (or joystick).  Fire
at the Asteroids and try to avoid the
flying saucers.  And thats it !

To start a 1 player game, hit F1.
To start a 2 player game, hit F2.

To change control modes, hit F3. (By
  this I mean, changing between keys
  and joystick.  You will see up at
  the top left of the screen, two small
  keyboards.  The top one represents
  player 1, the second, player 2.  When
  you hit F3, the little graphics will
  change to show which mode will be
  used when the game starts).

To change the key definitions, hit F4.
  This allows the user to alter the
  keys that the game uses during play.

To save your current high scores to
  floppy disk, simply ensure that the
  disk is write-enabled, and hit pF7q.

To switch off the sound effects during
  the game, just hit F1.
