INVISIBLE WAR
By James Winn
ARCADIAN 3, no. 11 (Sep. 11, 1981): 112-113.


This program was printed in the ARCADIAN newsletter without any instructions.  
However, James did include some brief instructions in his program submission 
letter to Bob Fabris:

Here are two programs for the ARCADIAN.  Number one is INVISIBLE WAR, number 
two is STARFIGHTER.  These are both space-type games.  There have been a lot of 
these in the past, they are still very popular.

INVISIBLE WAR is a program to be played by a single person.  You control the 
spaceship on the left, the computer the one on the right.  You are visible only 
when you move up or down the screen or fire a laser blast.  The object of the 
game is to hit the computer's ship more than he hits you.  In order to locate 
the computer ship, you can either fire several blasts of your laser, try to get 
him to fire at you, or move your ship to draw his fire.  When he fires at you, 
shoot back as quickly as possible before he changes his location.  One nice 
thing about this program is the appearance of more colors being on the screen 
then we can actually put there.  You can choose from three levels of difficulty 
and you set the number of your laser blasts.


Archive Notes:

INVISIBLE WAR was found on a tape in the Richard Houser Collection.
