You're stranded on an unfriendly alien planet, with the decidedly
unglamorous job of harvesting berries to feed hungry earthlings.
It's your task to protect the hydroponic gardens from mutant
frogs, alien probes, killer bees and other nasty creatures. Collect
enough food and maybe, just maybe, they'll let you come home.
STARTING SPACE VEGETABLES
When you first load SPACE VEGETABLES, you will see the Options
menu. Type [2] to calibrate your joystick, if you are using one. Move
the joystick, up, down, left, and right, pressing the [FIRE] button after
each direction. When you return to the menu, press [1] to proceed. To
choose the type of graphics, press [1] for EGA or [2] for VGA. To
select a sound option, type [1] for PC speaker or [2] for Ad Lib or
Sound Blaster. To select an input device type [1] for keyboard, [2] for
digital joystick, or [3] for analog joystick.
After you read the scrolling storyline (or anytime during), press the
spacebar or the [FIRE] button to go to the title screen. Press [FIRE] to go
to the quota screen. This screen tells you how many red, blue, green,
and yellow berries you must collect. Press [FIRE] to start the game.
Below the main screen are three displays: SCORE, OXYGEN, and
QUOTA/TOTAL. When the OXYGEN meter drops all the way to
empty, your character will die and the game is over. QUOTA shows
the number of berries you need to collect, while TOTAL shows the
number of berries you have already collected.
KEYBOARD & JOYSTICK CONTROLS
If you're playing from the keyboard, use the arrow keys to move and
the spacebar to fire.
To quit the game at any time, press [ESC] to return to the title screen.
Then press [ESC] again to return to DOS.
Left arrow Walk left
Right arrow Walk right
Up arrow Fly (Thrust)
Down arrow Open a dome
[FIRE] Shoot at aliens
[F1] Pause
[F2] Resume
[ESC] Return to title screen
The domes which protect the growing plants can only be opened when
the fruit is ready for harvesting. If you wait too long, however, the fruit
will burst. On some levels aliens will try to steal the domes; if they
steal all of them before you make your quota, the game is over.
You can shoot the aliens while flying or walking left or right. Some
aliens will release bubbles after you shoot them; grab these to increase
your oxygen level. Bonus points are awarded for oxygen left over after
you complete a level.
