Space Lanes

Fly your ship around a walled grid and collect the energy dots, 5 points each. The dots lie on ten rows, and between the rows run ten laser lanes. At random a lane blinks red as a warning, then fires a beam from wall to wall, and a ship caught on that lane loses a life. Sitting still on a dot row is safe but scores nothing, so you have to keep crossing the lanes to clear the field. Pick up every dot and the field refills for a new round with a 5-point bonus. Each round the lanes fire more often with shorter warnings, and some beams are aimed at the lane nearest your ship. You have three ships; when they are gone the game is over, and the high score is kept.

Controls: The stick flies the ship one cell at a time in eight directions; hold it to keep flying. On the title, up and down choose and a button starts. Either controller works.
