Well I decided I wanted to try and play one of my old favorites from when I was a kid, Wizball. However, I cannot figure out the controls! I determined that 'z' and 'x' let me spin right and left, and 'space' makes me fire, but I can't figure out how to activate a power-up after picking up a bubble. Does anybody out there know the controls for this game?

As I recall, you have to waggle back and forth quickly (in this case, with z and x). I guess the game anticipated Wii controls by a few decades. 😉

Doesn't Replacementdocs.com have a manual?

That works, thanks a ton! I also discovered apostrophe (') and slash (/) makes you go up and down once you get that power-up. Thanks goodness for DOSBox key remapping 😜

Oh, and replacementdocs.com doesn't have a manual for Wizball. I don't think one for the PC exists anymore, at least not on the first few Google pages of hits. I only found 'em for the C64 or Amiga.
