Rhodes This is an Arcade 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. Okay, Rhodes is yet another maze game. (attention: COLOR Rhodes is in the C folder on this Mactivity CD-ROM). The object is to get the Rhodes Scholar through the hedge maze at Oxford. (Name him whatever you want. "Bill" comes most immediately to my mind. That's what I'll call him.) But Bill is unusually dull for a Rhodes Scholar. He'll need your help to maneuever through the different levels of the maze. (Levels? Okay, so it's not real authentic.) What you want to do is see how far you can get him before he runs out of patience. If you do well enough, you might get to be a Rhodes Scholar yourself. Bill starts at the top of the maze and tries to get to the exit at the bottom, but he gets confused easily. If he runs into the hedge, he'll turn and try another way. (Running into hedges makes Bill impatient.) It's not uncommon for him to end up going in circles. Sometimes you have to add or remove a piece of the hedge to help him get where he wants to go. To do that, just click in the window. If a hedge is there, it will disappear; if not, it will appear. (You can't mess with the border hedges.) Adding and removing hedges, though, takes quite a toll on Bill's patience, since it's an obvious demonstration that he can't find the way himself. (Adding is quite a lot less taxing than removing. Add hedges instead of removing them if you can.) If you succeed in getting him to the exit, the next level will slide up and you'll start again. When he moves to another level, Bill's confidence grows, and so there'll be a little increase in patience, depending on the level. But, because of his now higher expectations, hitting hedges or having hedges added or removed causes greater impatience than before. When he finally runs out of patience, the game's over. If you've maneuevered him through enough levels, you'll be offered a Rhodes Scholarship of your own. Back to the Computer Games Index
