Broadside 2.0 This is a Board Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen and System 7.1 by Mactivity. This game is based upon the original Broadside(TM) board game published by the Milton Bradley Company ©1962. I have kept everything true to the original game with the exception of land-based fire-power. The only reason that I left out the land cannons is because HyperCard is slow and - for programming reasons - checking to see if the land cannons have shot a ship would make the stack run even slower. Broadside has 2 navies; Red and Blue. The Blue Navy has to defend its 4 Merchant Ships at dock in the harbor. The Red Navy is on the offensive, trying to destroy all of the Blue's Merchant Ships. To keep the size of the stack down to a reasonable level, the ships are named either "Red" or "Blue" instead of having different icons. Also, the size of the icons doesn't allow for a lot of detail as far as Red being one pattern and Blue being another. I hated having to do this, but some things can't be helped without owning a colour Macintosh. ;) This is the second version released. It now includes the option for 1 or 2 players. If 1 player is chosen, the computer will be your opponent. Back to the Computer Games Index
