------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------[ VIDEOCART 5: SPACE WAR ]------------------------ ---------------------------------[by Ice Queen Zero]--------------------------- ------------------------------------[Channel F]-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o---------------------o INTRODUCTION o---------------------o Are you ready for war? Get ready for space war where you try to deplete the enemies energy down to zero. This is a 2-player game and it plays similar to Desert Fox. Like Spitfire, you are not on any time limit to kill each other. You just keep playing until you feel like it. If you are playing this using the MESS emulator and you don't know the actual controls of the system, I will tell you the buttons to press on the emulator. As you can see, I've contributed a lot of screenshots to the system itself with the MESS. I'm playing this on the actual console itself. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Videocart 5: Spacewar and its characters are trademarks of Fairchild and all copyrights belong to them.

You chase each other in a field of asteroids. Unlike Desert Fox's mines, the Asteroids in Space War will not harm you. They just slow you down. There are two sets of numbers to look at on the bottom: Energy remaining and Score. Each time you bring your opponent's energy down to zero then you score one point. Now don't be so hasty to go on a shooting spree. You lose energy by firing your weapons in addition to being hit by enemy fire. When your energy gets low to the point of near-death, you won't be able to shoot your lasers and you'll have to retreat to the recharge points on the field, which I'll call nebulae. Each nebula will recharge your energy to the maximum 90 energy points. As far as how much damage is assessed. You lose two points of energy for firing your laser and five points of energy for getting hit by energy lasers. When a player's energy reaches zero, the spaceship is destroy and the winner gets one point added to their score. An S? will appear on screen, and you can hit start to begin fighting again from the same spots as where the battle ended and both players will have full health. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o Fairchild for making the game.
