***  by WildKaarde. Comment: "Goal is to punch a hole through the rings of the castle, and shoot the enemy within. Walls: Wall rotate sometimes in different directions. Walls will regenerate if you completely remove a wall, as well as over time. At least you can bounce off of the walls.... Mines: Enemy "floating mines" pop off of the outermost rotating walls, following mostly gravitic patterns.... More mines as the game progresses. Enemy: Did I mention that the enemy within the castle has a VERY BIG CANNON, which he keeps constantly aimed at you? Make sure to move after you've taken your shot! Cinematronics used colored acetate over the B/W display to fake colored rings. It worked well enough, as the color wasn't very important to the game. " 2002-12-28 16:17:13Z
