Meteor Run

Your white swept-wing ship comes down and flies low over the planet. Up and down move it straight; left and right build speed the longer you hold them, and the other way slows it, stops it and turns it round. At the screen's edges the grey stepped mountains scroll past. Tumbling meteors drift in every direction, and a touch costs a ship. The button burns a meteor on your line with a green laser for 50 points. Power drains all the time: fly down to a yellow mound of Zalium crystals and the button becomes a tractor beam that pulls them up. Under a third of the power the laser fails; at none, the ship explodes.
