Quarx Probe
-----------

Description:
------------

It is the year 2132. Humanity has finally sent a space probe to explore another star system, the Quarx system, which has a habitable planet. The probe is controlled from Earth using an instantaneous hyper-space communication system.  Upon arrival, the probe encounters a dense asteroid field.  As you are pulled in by the star's gravity, the asteroids become more numerous and your speed increases... the further the probe goes, the more sensor information is collected and sent back to Earth.  Help further humanities knowledge by guiding the probe as far as you can!

Controls:
---------

Joystick in port 2

Up/Down moves probe up or down

Fire activates the short range jump-drive.  You can use this to jump through asteroids by passing briefly into hyper-space.  Be careful not to crash into an asteroid when you enter space again!


Running the game:
-----------------

Quarx Probe is written for the Commodore 64.  It is best run on a real C64, but any emulator will do. VICE is probably best.
