THE ALIENS ARE COMING
		=====================
	
This is a space invaders type game.  There are nine
levels of increasing difficulty: each level contains more
aliens and bombs, weaker shields and more frequent bonus
ships.

There are eight different aliens, each with eight frames of
animation and displayed in full colour.  Some of the aliens
vary their widths to make themselves harder targets.

The bonus ships present a special danger - they have varied
effects on the control of your ship and the speed of the 
aliens and their bombs.  The most deadly is probably the
bonus ship which reverses the joystick control directions.
Note that the first bonus ship has no effect.  High points
are awarded for the destruction of these ships.

The shields will withstand a fixed number of hits, either
from alien bombs or your own laser fire.  As more hits are 
sustained the shields start to glow until they are bright
red, at which point they fail completely.

You start the game with four lives.  Two extra ives can be
awarded - one for reaching 5000 points and one for reaching
50000 points.

The game finishes when either all your lives are lost or the
aliens land at the bottom of the screen.

Points are scored by hitting aliens and bonus ships.  The 
values of the higher rows of aliens are progressively
greater.  All rows have a greater value in higher levels.
