Encounter is a modern version of Othello for one
or two players. In the one-player version, the computer
takes the role of Evil Astex 99, who is fighting you in
Sub Quadrant 4A. In the two-player version, player two
takes the place of the computer. The object of the game is to capture the opponent's troops. This is done by moving your troops into galaxies adjacent to those occupied by the opponent. The game finishes when there are no unoccupied galaxies, or if either player has no troops left or if both players are unable to move. (A demo mode is available) |
A
clever graphics effect is used to make the eye's and feet
move. I assume this is done by constantly changing their
character codes. The second game on this cassette - Checkers, is a variation of the old strategy game of solitaire, except that the layout used is an 8 X 8 grid with the centermost sixteen squares left blank. Stainless is awarding a free program to the person who sends in a solution before the end of the year. The prize will go to the best solution. J.J. |
