FIRESTORM
FIRESTORM is a fast paced, multiplayer arcade game. The game is a arranged
in the form of a tournament which is a battle to the death where the last
player standing is the winner. The means of destroying oponents are bombs
which explode out in 4 directions. Players can pick up items which allow them
to remotely control their bombs, kick bombs, or even turn their bombs into
heat seeking missiles. Players can pick up other items which increase the
number of bombs which can be placed at a time, increase the explosion radius
of bombs, increase or decrease their speed, universal remote which blows up all
bombs, invincibility, and extra lives. Players can also pick up ?'s which are
unknown items. Most of the effects of these unknown items are viruses which
the effects of which can be transferred to other players by physical contact.
Other effects could be invincibility, extra lives, or teleportation.
FIRESTORM can be played head to head or enhance with computer controlled
players. There is also a Grim Reaper character who is indestructable and
appears half way through a Level killing any and all players in his path in
an attempt to speed up the game. Have fun playing!!!
