Laser Chase 1.2 This is a Shooting 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. The idea has been seen in different forms before...laser bicycles, snakes, whatever. The game consists (so far) of two players battling against each other. They attempt to cross each other's path and force the opponent to crash into an obstacle. When one person hits an obstacle, his "laser" loses its energy, and the other player receives the point total listed in the upper left corner of the screen. An obstacle is: * Your own laser trail * Your opponents laser trail * Walls * Letters The Options Menu: This is the only menu which requires explanation. It selects the different modes of play. "Letters" keeps the introductory letters (LaserChase!... player 1 score, player 2 score) on the screen and you can manoeuvre around them. "Normal" makes random straight-lined obstacles. Beware! These can be right next to or even on top of your starting point! "Maze" makes a maze to wind through for fun. "Clear" is self-explanatory...the screen is clear. * The HyperCube: The HyperCube is a nifty feature I threw into the game for the ".2" part of the version. When one laser runs into it, they are both displaced to weird positions according to BOTH OF THEIR previous positions and directions. I kind of made up an algorithm, and I'm still not sure how it works, so be careful! The HyperCube can put your opponent in a deadly spot, but if you do it at the wrong time, it can kill you, too!
