Moon35.bas is the Main game file

Installation:
- copy these files into a new directory:
  Moon35.bas
  Moon35h.bas
  Moonhigh.dat
- switch to msdos 
- type: QB moon35.bas
- press F5 to start

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


Tips & Troubleshooting

> I got an load error after the games finished

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

> The game appears slow & flickery, the game flow is not continuous

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

> The controls are 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 an 486-DX100. 
- Try to use the 2nd version of the game


Gaming hints:

- Use Num keys instead of Arrows for better control
- move your ship to the corners, the middlefield is very unhealthy!
- advanced players let the 1st section crash first
  then use the 2nd section, thus giving more firepower
- collision detection is quite forgiving (& not
  very accurate); so 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
  while 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; --> run moon340.bas
- Compiling wont work, since the game reloads
- Quickbasic 4.5 is the better choice over QB 1.1
