I love the sounds, and the > action. This one will keep you busy on the keyboard. Let me tell you the > story of this great game for the blind. > > "Doomsday has come, the day when the earth finally will be gone from the > galaxy. The humans' situation is desperate, they don't seem to stand a > chanse against the huge army of enemies that have surrounded them, at all > sides. They are in panic, and they don't manage to organise even the > weakest defense. The first attacking ships have already been spotted, > cirkling over the planet. All defense is meaningless, the last piece of > hope is gone. > > Suddenly, an enormous, golden spaceship bursts through the dark clowds, it > sweeps down with a speed of an attacking snake and throws a bomb right at > the closest enemy ship. It explodes with a bang that makes the earth > tremble. The golden ship continues to make it's way down through the sky, > and a scene of a kind that never has been seen before takes place as one > enemy after the other explodes in a clowd of fire. The ship is now only a > few hundred meters above the earth, and in the light of the moon two > shining letters are visible on the ships left side: D d." > > The game play is very simple. Press the left and right arrow keys to move > your ship, and the spacebar to fire your lazer. When you hear that an > enemy ship is approaching you, try to center it in the stereo field by > moving towards it. when you are close enough to fire, you will hear your > radar bleep. This means that you can go ahead and blast away the little > pest! You will have to shoot several times to successfully destroy a ship. > The number of times you have to hit a ship in order to destroy it > increases on the higher levels. As the ship gets closer to the earth, it's > volume will increase and if you don't shoot it quick enough, it'll land. > If 10 ships land, the lights are out. However, the chanse that this will > happen is rather small, because, after all, you are the dark destroyer! > > Click this link to learn more about PB-Games and to download Dark > Destroyer. > > http://www.pb-games.com/downloads.htm > > > http://fredsheadcompanion.blogspot.com/2006/03/can-you-defeat-dark-destroyer.html > To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes
