Firestorm is a free new game for NeXTStep machines! Here's a brief description of the game: Firestorm is a fast paced, multiplayer arcade game where players battle to the death. Bombs are the weapon of choice. When strategically placed, these bombs allow a player to reak havoc on its oponents. Players can pick up items which allow them to remotely detonate their bombs, kick bombs, or even turn their bombs into heat seeking missiles! In addition, players can pick up other items such as invincibility stars, speed boots, slow potions, and many other objects! Players can also become infected with viruses and annoy their oponents by infecting them as well. Firestorm can support up to 4 players with any combination of human and computer controlled players. In addition, a fifth player, the Grim Reaper, will appear to destory you if the game takes too long! There are many versions available for many platforms. Some of the versions include X11 (HP, Sun, DEC, SGI, Linux), Macintosh, Windows 95, and NeXTStep. Have fun playing!!! ----- Firestrom was created by a bunch of Berekely students during the course of this semester in an attempt to have some fun! It is freeware and we hope you enjoy the effort we placed into it during the midst of our schoolwork, midterms, and finals! You can obtain it from our web page on: http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/Firestorm and ftp site at: next-ftp.peak.org It is currently in /pub/next/submissions directory, but may be moved to a different directory later Hopefully, Firestorm will be distributed widely onto various FTP sites and local BBS's Have fun with Firestorm!!
