	I made this game early in my programming career, right after
Rover: Escape from Venus.  There's not a whole lot through it. You
simply guide your spaceship through rows of asteroids.  The controls
are not exactly normal, though.  Once you start your ship moving up
or down, it coasts until you stop it from moving or it gets to the
edge.  Also, you have five special moves that can help you avoid the
asteroids:

Turbo boost (Vertical): use this if you don't have time to maneuver
through a gap in the row of asteroids.

Turbo boost (Horizontal): use this to displace yourself right through
a row of asteroids.

Random transporter (Vertical): it's risky, but with luck it can be
used in the same situations as the vertical turbo boost.

Controlled transporter: use this to get a breather and relocate your
ship to any exact point on the screen.  Be warned, however, that this
uses a lot of fuel.

Distortion field: your ship becomes invisible and invincible- you
don't have to touch any other buttons when this is turned on.  There's
only one drawback: this continues to eat fuel until you turn it off.
