After six and a half years of intermittant work, I declare this
game to be complete.  I shall never touch it again.  Really!

I am aware that there are still some bugs, but have no desire to
fix them as they do not affect gameplay.  Patches are always welcome,
however, and I will release bugfix versions.

Overview
========
In this game you control the LANDER, a spacecraft designed for planetary
exploration.  Your goal is to successfully land on each planet to collect
important scientific research.  We can safely save the researching part
for the scientists, your job is to land this sucker.

Landing is only possible on specially marked landing pads.  Each planet
has three pads, each worth different amounts of points.  The higher the
multiplier, the more points you get for a successful landing.  You
cannot land hard, however, or you will blow up.  The goal is to let the
velocity gauge on the right of the screen be in the green zone as you land.


Controls
========

Left Arrow   Thrust leftward
Right Arrow  Thrus rightward
