SDL Thrust 0.89f for RISC OS

The object of the game is to lift the Klystron Pod from the bottom of a cave and return it safely to space. The Pod is very heavy (compared to the ship) and this makes it tougher than it may seem.

You must be careful not to run out of fuel, crash into the cave walls, or let the enemy artillary outposts shoot you down.

This is a conversion of the thrust game for Unix and other systems with a SDL driver and RISC OS application files added.
