FROM THE ARTICLE
Spiraling near the sun for added acceleration, the thin silver ship swiveled slowly, firing its space torpedoes steadily, creating a spiral wave of death ahead of it. As it swept past the sun, a hail of answering rockets flashed by, barely missing, and the sudden explosion of another ship lit the space behind. The scope flickered, and the two ships appeared again at diagonally opposed points with the sun as a center. The controls for each changed hands, and the game began anew.
