## Description

_Project Nova_ is a 1st person shooter where you are the pilot of a space
craft and you must explore various sectors to find alien ships and destroy
them. Before you play the game you can select which level you want to start on
(1-8). You start the game looking out into empty space inside the cockpit of
your craft with the option to look out from the rear. On your instrument panel
which is shown on the top and bottom of the screen is your energy status,
speed, your rating, shield status, view and how many hostiles in the area.
Pressing 0-9 on the keyboard controls your speed but uses up energy so must be
used carefully. Pressing F1, F2 or F3 activates your shield from Green (No
Shield), Amber (20% capacity) and Red (Full) which also requires the use of
energy.

Pressing C brings up your ships computer which gives a status report on
various parts of your craft and a map of the area containing all the sectors.
Each sector contains a number telling you how many hostiles are in that area
and also which ones contain energy to top up your energy supply. These sectors
can still contain alien ships. You move a cursor onto the sector you require
to explore and press H for hyperspace. Once you are in the sector you use the
joystick to control your craft to move a laser sight and pressing fire to fire
a laser. You are also able to repair your ship if you receive damage but
receive to much and it is game over.
