Drift
Drift is a single player, freeware, Asteroids variant. The game is
entirely keyboard controlled and is slightly unusual in that firing the gun
causes the ship to move in the opposite direction.
The story behind the game runs as follows ” The year is 5300 and you are in
command of the brand new experimental DriftRunner V3X22 (yep… a major
improvement over the old V2X22 series). Humanity has colonized huge parts of
the galaxy but the mysterious Vhol Drift has never been successfully explored.
Strange aliens with strange technology live inside the dangerous Drift and it
is said that he who successfully explores the Drift will be both famous and
rich.
So, your mission is clear. Enter the Vhol Drift and try to penetrate as deep
as you can. But beware… the asteroid field gets more dense the further you
go and encounters with the evil Polygunzz are also more likely. You have to
shoot and destroy all the asteroids (and other obstacles) to clear a path
through the Vhol Drift to make it possible for Terran exploration crafts to
enter the Drift and exploit its resources and discover its mysteries. The task
will not be easy but if anyone can do it, it surely is you…”
