Asteroids clone where the intro text is more interesting than the actual game:

“Your chief of the Space Police thinks that you could rock your big a... around in space again, instead of constantly polluting the air in headquarters.

You set off with your little green spaceship Dirt Slingshot (so called because your spaceship has never seen an ISA workshop (ISA = Intergalactic Surveillance Association) from the inside). As always, you put yourself back on autopilot - you lazy bastard.

You lean back and pour yourself a cool 'red nose' beer. while doing so, you think about how you managed to get the 2 cases of beer through spaceport customs again this time (relatives at customs are sometimes very useful).

For 10 minutes, noises have been reaching your ears, which sound as if your alcoholic robot would grab your beloved beer supplies. When you finally pull yourself together and follow the noises, you see it.

Your toenails start to curl up, because when you open the fridge, your drunken robot grins at you, having just downed the last bottle of your precious liquid.

5 minutes later you see a robot slowly drifting away from you in space (well guess who pushed it into the airlock?).

While your spaceship is on course for Jaswa (don't I have a cousin at customs) your on-board computer is bothering you when downloading the latest software from Dillingersoft.

Acknowledge this disruption by kicking your combat boots hard against the main memory of your computer.

Looking at the monitor, you notice that your ship is flying through an enemy space quadrant on the way to Jaswa.

The pirates are still out of range, but they are getting closer quickly. There is also a minelayer among the pirates. To fend off the pirates you have to destroy the ships of the space pirates with your proton cannon.

To control your spaceship, insert the joystick into port 2 and push the joystick forward to give it thrust.

Have fun”

I'd have more fun fast-thrusting into something else.
