Got an itchy trigger finger? Long for that slapshot action of air-hockey? Then
warm up your Commodore, because Ricochet is here!
This game looks and plays like air-hockey: smooth, responsive puck action on a r
ectangular table with a goal at each end. But instead of hitting the puck back
and forth with a blocker, you and your opponent shoot at it with phasers.
When you run the program, choose the number of human players and a puck speed, f
rom 1, the slowest, to 3. When playing the computer, you also select a skill le
vel, from 1 to 5. Make each choice by moving the joystick in port 1 up or down
to change the number, then pressing the fire-button.
The red phaser is controlled by joystick port 1, the blue by joystick port 2 or
the computer. To freeze the action, press the Commodore key. Press it again to
resume.
