I realize that the Stargoose Doc file was posted to to comp.binaries.ibm.pc recently, however, I failed to get it when it appeared. I would appreciate it if someone who _did_ get it would e-mail it to me. Thanks - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Robinson | Never attribute to malice that Middle Tennessee State University | which is adequately explained robinson@mtsu.edu | by stupidity.

The Game
Stargoose is a bit like Zaxxon but is better...
Object of the game is to destroy the mother base... The final
Frontier... You have 4 ships in your squadron.. Your
level will advance by collecting pods... The pods will appear
like colored circles on the playing field and as you collect
the pods the pod indicators to the left of the FUEL, SHIELDS,
AND AMMUNITION will change from the color indicated to a deep
blue. When all six have changed color you will advance to
the next level... The first thing you want to do is set your
controls.. You may select left, right, fire thrust, brakes,
left missile and right missile.. You may replenish your
missiles by going through the center of the missile center...
Every time you advance a level you can lose all of your ships
and if you stay and play another round you can stay at the
advanced level and do not have to start from scratch....
Enough tips..... I have left you a few sunrises... Hope you
enjoy... Watch for future releases on a board near you....

I found that these keys works in Stargoose.
F1 : Key Configulation
F2 : Sound On/Off
F3 : Pause
F4 : Continue after Pause
Q : Quit
N(once) : load left rocket
N(twice) : fire left rocket
M(once) : load right rocket
M(twice) : fire right rocket
---------------------------------------------------------------
I think there's a way to skip to the next levels. If you play level 1 and
get to level 2, but you lose all your lives in level 2, you can start
again in level 2. Instead of pressing the spacebar to start a game, just
wait for the game to start by itself. You'll find yourself at level 2.

Have fun,
