   THE GAME
   
   Alien Assault is a fun four-ways-scrolling shoot'em up written
   in QuickBasic v4.0. You take take role of a lone marine in a fierce
   battle against an evil alien world. Armed with your plasmacannon
   it's up to you to make the process short with the alien slimes.
   Reach into thier planet's core and activate selfdestruct and you
   have completed your mission.
   
     
   THE INSTRUCTIONS
   
   Use the arrow keys to move the brave fellow in the middle of your
   screen in all four directions.
   To blow the guts out on any of the aliens, simply press space bar.
   Doors, computers and transports are activated by just walking into
   them.

   To complete each level you have to find the transporterstation that
   will take you to next floor. There is only one per level.


   THE PICKUPS

   There are a lot of useful objects scattered around each level. These
   are STIMPACKS (box with white cross), AMMO (round blue dot) and
   KEYS (key). You can't pick up ammo or stimpacks if you already is
   fully loaded. You can, however, pick up as many keys as you want.


   THE FUTURE?

   This version has only ten levels. But.. Future versions will
   hold more levels, enchanced graphics, mission briefings, a scale
   of different enemies, and maybe, if you're lucky, a two player
   option. Keep your eyes open. I'll be back.
