Artillery Door Game Version 1.1

In Artillery the player attempts to fire a shell from his tank into the enemy. He is limited to a sysop configurable number of shots per day, so he must use skill to accurately set muzzle velocity and firing angle to drop the shell precisely on the enemy.

The enemy may be hidden under trees or behind a wall so the player will either have to blast through the obstructions (which takes repeated shots) or be accurate in his firing. The game uses the classical physics of a projectile to calculate the path of the shot in real time.

I always got a kick out of that old Basic game (gorilla?) where King Kong throws a banana over buildings to squash a target on the other side, so Artillery was written.

The game will reset when a player reaches the sysop's selected number of kills, and a winner's banner is displayed as each player enters the game.

Artillery is multinode aware, has sysop chat, carrier detect, and no maintenance. Simple to set up on nearly any type of BBS. Supports many drop file types such as door.sys, dorinfox.def, etc.

The current version is 16-bit only.
Price: $10.00 U.S.

Limitations on Unregistered Version:
