NAME

       Oolite - a space-sim game

SYNOPSIS

       oolite

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents Oolite.

       Oolite is a reinterpretation of the 8-bit classic space shooter/trading game Elite, which was written by Ian Bell and David Braben.

FAQ

       What is the purpose of the game?
       To  fly from planet to planet, buying and selling goods, shooting pirates or committing acts of piracy.	There's no goal other than perhaps
       to achieve the rank of ELITE.

       How do I quit?
       While docked, use the 'F2' key. When in flight, use the 'p' key.

       I'm still confused, how do I play?
       Documentation can be found in the /usr/share/doc/oolite directory.  You should start with README.TXT.gz for  window  settings.	Then,  the
       PLAYING.TXT.gz document gives a basic overview of the controls.
       For a full description of all controls, please see the "Oolite Reference Sheet" (OoliteRS.pdf) which is suitable for printing out.

       Where can I find more information?
       For  the  nostalgic,  Ian Bell's "Space Traders Flight Training Manual" for the original BBC Elite is still a very good introduction to the
       game and can be found online <http://home.clara.net/iancgbell/elite/manual.htm>.
       A large amount of additional information, including advice for newcomers, Oolite Expansion Packs (OXP),	the  Elite/Oolite  wiki,  and  the
       Oolite Bulletin Board is linked from the Oolite home page <http://www.oolite.org/>.

       What do the various colors represent on the radar?
	      o White - unpowered items that can't mass-lock the in-system drive.
	      o Green/Yellow - navigation buoys.
	      o Yellow - powered craft.
	      o Red - powered craft identified as hostile.
	      o Green - space stations.
	      o Green/Red - thargoids
	      o Purple - police
	      o Blue/Red - police on intercept
	      o Red/Yellow - active mine (about to detonate)

NAME

       gemdropx - an interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window

SYNOPSIS

       gemdropx [--help] [--version] [--usage] [--nomusic]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it
       has documentation in /usr/share/doc/gemdropx/README.txt.gz

       gemdropx is an interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window.	It is a direct port of Gem Drop, an Atari 8-bit game  written  in  Action!
       (a very fast C- and Pascal-like compiled language for the Atari).  The concept of the game Gem Drop is based on an arcade game for the Neo-
       Geo system called "Magical Drop III" by SNK.

       If you're familiar with games like Jewels, Klax, Bust-A-Move or Tetris, this game is similar to them all.  I consider it closest to Klax.
