 Original note:
 --------------
 So what is ShootOut? It's a pure left/right/fire shoot 'em up. 
 Simple but highly playable.

 To play, use a joystick in port 2, with left mouse button to start/pause
 the game.

 You have a shield with a squeak alarm fitted to show when it is being
 depleted. The bar on the right of the screen shows how much energy it
 has left and when that has all gone it's game.

 Scoring is the wave number per alien, so on wave one the alien is worth
 one point and on wave ten each alien is worth ten points etc.

 My current hiscores are 26224 (no autofire), 36364 (with autofire). Can you
 beat them?
