Rip-Off 3

Rip Off 3 is a 3D (mode 7) version of the arcade classic Rip-Off which was written in the late 1970s.  






Instructions:


          Beware the scavenging pirates trying to steal your fuel cells!
          The more pirates you destroy, the faster their successors become.
          Guard your tanks carefully, you are always outnumbered.


Although it can be played as a single player game, Rip-Off is designed to be played by two players
working in cooperation.  The idea is to defend a cluster of fuelcells from marauding pirates 
using futurisitc tank-like vehicles.



Control your tank by rotating left and right, moving forward and firing the gun.

Collisions with either the pirates or the other player's tank are fatal as is being shot.

If your tank is destroyed it will comeback at its original starting position.
The is no limit to the number of tanks you have.

The cells begin the game in the centre of the game area which is circular.
The tanks begin on opposite sides of the arena.

The pirates come on from the edge and attempt to drag the cells out of the arena.

There are 6 types of pirate with increasing levels of intelligence and speed.

They attack in waves of pirates of the same type. 
If any pirate in a wave is successful in capturing a fuel cell, the next wave will be made up of the same type of pirate.
If all of the pirates are successful, the next wave will be made up of the previous type of pirate.
If none of the pirates are successful, the next wave will be made up of the next type of pirate.

If you destroy all 6 waves the points value of each pirate is increased and,for the first 5 rounds 
the overall speed of all the pirates increases, thereafter the number of pirates in a wave increases upto
the eleventh and final wave.  


The game is over when all the cells have been taken or when you destroy the final wave.
