Get out those joysticks and see whether you can become a Space Fleet
Commander while battling at the LASER STAR.

This Program is brought to you through the good offices of JARB
Software.  And, for anyone who doesn't want to type it in himself, you
can send $14.95 to JARB (1169 Florida St., Imperial Beach, CA, 92032)
for a cassette copy.  Add $1 for postage and you will get this tape,
plus another game, Helo Battle.  Helo Battle will appear in listing
form in next month's issue of the RAINBOW.

LASER STAR is a two-player game which allows both players to maneuver
their respective spacecraft -- a rocket ship and a saucer.  The object
is to destroy your foe enough times to advance in rank and win the
battle.

Its not all that easy, though.  While you are fighting, there is an
alien asteroid control station which fires a powerful laser at space
dust, meteoroids, and asteroids.  If the blast hits you, you lose
points.  Also, if you collide with your opponent, one of you will also
lose points (sort of like no-fault insurance).

There's another hitch, too, that can cause you to lose points.  But
we're not going to tell you about it.  Let's just hint that it
paralyzes space in in your sector and can be very troublesome.  You'll
see!

The joysticks control movement of the two space ships and the aiming
point of their lasers.  They cannot shoot backwards, though.

We think you will enjoy playing LASER STAR.

NOTE FROM CURTIS:

The copy I found had a syntax error in 255, which I did a guess at fixing.
It may not be correct... and it also means there may be other things corrupt
as well. I post it as is because other than this, we don't have this game.

NOTE FROM Tim:

It contained further syntax errors and typos. All fixed by me. I also added 
a fast option, random seeding, faster asteroid animation.
