Zero core is a simple shooting game for DOS, written in C, using Allegro and PPCol.
It also works under WinME.

The Game

You are an intrepid prospector, keen to stake your claim on all (hmm, only 3 at the moment) the planetoids in the system. According to interplanetary law, you only have to be the first to reach the planetary core to own that planetoid. But, also according to the law, once you've penetrated the planet's crust, you have to keep on moving. You can't hang around and have a rest, and you can't risk taking a wrong turn in the planet's system of caves. Not according to any law, other prospectors have also got their sights set on securing a planet or two, and will have dispatched an array of sputniks, probes and missiles to stop you. This is where the shooting comes in. There are also some goodies for bonus points (better to collect them than shoot them) and some lightning zaps that will recharge your energy.

Controls

Use the arrow keys to move and left CTRL key to fire. Press ESC to end the game and F1 for help. If you've set a joystick up in Allegro you can also use that.

Cheers,
