Space Arena

Two arrowhead ships, one blue and one green, duel in a walled arena with four rocks in a column down the middle. Turn your ship through sixteen headings and thrust; it keeps drifting with no friction and bounces off the walls. Shots bounce off the walls too, and you have one at a time: you can fire again only when it has run its course, even after a hit. A hit on the other ship scores 1 point and kicks it along. A ship that touches a rock explodes and the other player scores 20, then everything goes back to its start. The match lasts one to five minutes at one of three speeds, and the higher score wins. Play a friend or, in ONE PLAYER mode, a computer pilot in the green ship.

Controls: Controller 1 flies the blue ship and controller 2 the green ship; in ONE PLAYER mode either controller flies the blue ship. Push left and right to turn, up to thrust, and press either button to fire. On the title, up and down choose a line, left and right change it, and a button starts.
