OIDS.X is a highly exciting arcade-style game that boasts an incredibly fast-paced action experience on Macintosh computers. It takes inspiration from beloved classics such as Choplifter, Asteroids, Defender, and Lunar Lander, delivering a unique and addictive game. Originally released in 1990, OIDS was already a hit, but it has since been revamped for more recent PowerPC machines, featuring smoother gameplay and new amazing features.
On the left-hand side of the Galaxy Chooser window, you can view a list of files and folders. Start your gaming experience in the 'Novoids' galaxy, which is considered the easiest. If you're interested in finding out how difficult the other levels are, simply select your desired galaxy and head to the 'Get Info...' submenu under the 'File' menu. Once you've mastered Novoids, you can proceed to the harder levels. To launch the game, simply double-click on Novoids, and you'll see the perspective of your mother ship on its voyage to the first planetoid in the Novoids Galaxy. Pressing 'return' or 'enter' keys will speed through that animation.
Next up, watch the mother ship land and release your character to rescue the OIDs on the planetoid. With gravity pulling you down, you'll have to use your thrust key to counteract its effects. You can practice maneuvering your vessel around, slowing down, shooting, accelerating, landing, and firing Novabombs. For more in-depth tutorials, you can refer to the OIDS.X Manual.
Lastly, it's essential to note that OIDS.X is a shareware game. You must register the game to access all its incredible features.
