                  ABOUT SHARK AND WEAPONS
                  Initially your craft is armed with a small phased plasma 
                  armour piercing laser weapon, which may be up-graded, twenty 
                  wire guided missiles, ten high power impact mines and ten 
                  bouncing bombs. You can collect mines, missiles, bouncing 
                  bombs, plasma blasters, shields, extra energy and a high power 
                  generator which will speed-up your craft. These objects are 
                  dropped by exploding enemy craft. Contact with enemy craft 
                  will result in energy drain.
