## Description
_Astro3D_ is a shareware space shoot ’em up game based on the classic game
Asteroids.
The story is that Earth signed a space treaty with its neighbours and enjoyed
centuries of prosperity. As often happens, vested interests and politics
conspired to wreck the peace and a major interstellar conflict caused mayhem,
death and destruction on an immense scale. Finally realising that no-one was
going to win the war a truce was declared. However during the war the rival
factions have disrupted the space lanes with mines, robot attack ships and
general junk that they are unusable and someone has to take on the job of
blasting everything into dust.
The player takes on the role of Sed Fransord a kind of interstellar junk man
who just happens to have a ship fitted with big guns and other cool weapons.
The Earth Alliance has contacted Sed and offered him the clean up job and Sed
needs the money.
This is a fast paced 3D shoot ’em up game with twelve levels, three of which
were made available in the shareware release. There are three levels of
difficulty entitled ‘I’m a puppy’, ‘Let’s Rock’, and ‘Bring ’em on Big Daddy!’
Each level has a mission – clear up the mines on one level, toxic waste on
another – set against a different stellar backdrop and always with hordes of
attacking drones, space ships and of course asteroids and the debris caused by
all Sed’s blasting.
