This is FInvaders, a Space Invaders game for the 
TI-92 calulator.

PLEASE READ:
This is a beta version, and it may possibly crash your 
calculator.  I cannot be held responsible for loss of 
data.  Please backup all important files before
installing FInvaders. You use this program at your
own risk.
Also, please report to me any bugs you find.

Requirments
-----------
FInvaders requires the Fargo ASM shell to be installed
on your calculator.  To my knowledge, this program
will run on all rom versions except 1.1 and 2.x
You must have around 9k free memory to run FInvaders. 
This is because memory handles are created during 
execution. The following libraries (not included) must 
be present on your calculator:
  flib
  fargray
  graylib
  romlib
Once the appropriate libraries are installed, simply 
send the file fi.92p (included) to your calculator.  
Then select FInvaders from the browser menu.

Play
----
The object of FInvaders is to shoot all of the alien
ships above you before they reach the planet. You
are given 4 lives. You will lose one life each time
you are hit by alien fire.  
If the aliens touch your shields, the game is over, 
no matter how many lives you have.
