Instructions In English
-----------------------

ACES HIGH is a fun-to-play two player air duel simulator. It requires a 386-
processor and a VGA graphics board. Total memory free should be 1MB to get this
program running (and even less is required if you choose No Sound from SETUP)

Playing under Windows is not recommended overall because Windows is shit but if
you still intend to do so, notice that Gravis Ultrasound sound support doesn't
work under Windows: Windows sound drivers in combination with the game's sound
system result in a crash. I've had no problems with SoundBlaster under Windows
but I don't guarantee anything.

By pressing any other key than ESC (it quits) in the opening screen the main
menu is entered. There you move with cursor keys and you can change for example
number of lives, ammunition, speed of the planes and so on. By pressing SPACE
or ENTER when over "COMMENCE COMBAT" the combat begins. The last option
"REDEFINE CONTROLS" makes possible the redefining of controls. That too can be
selected with SPACE or ENTER. By pressing ESC, one can exit a menu towards the
opening screen.

In the game, the number of lives is displayed in the bottom corners of the
screen, along with three meters per plane. The uppermost meter is the power
meter. When it goes to zero your plane explodes. The middle meter is the ammo
meter. If ammo replenish is on you can shoot slowly even with the meter at zero.
BUT: if ammo replenish is off and you have no more ammo left YOU ARE IN DEEP
SHIT! The last meter is the throttle meter. The higher the reading, the faster
your plane goes.

The aim is to kill the opponent so many times that his/her lives run out. This
can be achieved either by shooting or colliding. About colliding you must bear
in mind that both planes suffer the same amount of damage. A head-to-head
collision causes the greatest damage.
