Dunno about the sun, but if you grab an asteroid with your tractor
beam and DON'T collect it, it will replenish your energies. Some
asteriods contain more power than others, but when they're sucked dry
they'll explode...

<stuff about the nice game Virus sacrificed to the bandwith demon>

The control isn't easy, but manageable. The really interesting point
about this game is the fact that it was shown first under the name
Zarch (sp?) on the Acorn Archimedes. I still have that voice from
this years CeBIT in my ears who told me that "A game like this will
never be possible on the Amiga...".

Have five nice weeks... (hi Bob)
