16K Game Competition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's my entry. It's a 1998 version of the old classic Thrust. For those
not familiar with it, the idea is this:

You control a spaceship. You have to navigate down through the tunnels and
find the special pod. Once you have found it, pick it up in your tractor beam,
and take it out to the surface. Finally, keep flying up till you go out
into hyperspace.

I didn't have time to put in any enemies, so I've left it as an exercise to
the reader.  ;-)

Also, the pod sometimes doesn't want to be picked up, so try again from a
slightly different angle.

  Keys:                                                                      
    Thrust             = LEFT ALT
    Turn clockwise     = LEFT SHIFT
    Turn anticlockwise = RIGHT SHIFT
    Pick up pod        = LEFT CTRL
    Quit               = ESC

Files:
   THRUST98.COM      = The entire program
   README.TXT        = This file
   THRUST.ASM        = The source code
   FONT.INC          = The game font
   TEXTDATA.INC      = In-game messages
   MAPx.INC          = The levels for the game
   GROUND1.INC       = The ground tile bitmap

Have fun!
