22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
25 ''Penetrate'' simulates the arcade classic with the
26 cities and the stuff shooting down from the sky and stuff.
27 The computer plays against itself, desperately defending the
28 forces of good against those thingies raining down. Bonus
29 cities are awarded at ever-increasing intervals. Every five
30 levels appears a bonus round. The computer player gets
31 progressively more intelligent as the game progresses.
32 Better aim, more economical with ammo, and better target
33 selection. Points are in the bottom right, and high score is
34 in the bottom left. Start with -smart to have the computer
35 player skip the learning process.

120
121
122 The layout of the screen isn't quite the same as the game
123 this program tries to emulate. In this this program, the
124 missles come out of the cities; when really, there are
125 supposed to be three missile bases on hills, with the cities
126 in the valleys between them.
