Re: Astreoids Deluxe?

>Also, anyone know how Deluxe's large UFO logic works?

Take this with a grain of salt, but here's what Roger's Tips and Tricks says about
it (http://www.classicgaming.com/rcatt/tips_ab.html#astdelux):

-=-=-
In the original Asteroids game, the large UFO shot in a random
direction. In Deluxe, it shoots at rocks 75 percent of the time and in
the general direction of your ship 25 percent of the time. If no rocks
are nearby, all shots go towards your ship. This renders the "save
and hunt" strategy from original Asteroids useless.

Also, the small UFO can now shoot aimed wrap-around shots, and
at the 60,000 point mark, both UFOs shoot with greatly improved
accuracy.
-=-=-

This doesn't seem to match the behavior of *my* Ast. Deluxe (the saucers seem to get
more accurate earlier than 60,000 points), but it could just be that you get more
small saucers...
