NuclearChainReaction 1.0
========================
Wed. 14. February 1996

NEXTSTEP game with network support


Description
===========
NCR is tactical 8x8 board game. Objective is to conquer
all fields by occupying them with neutrons of your color.
As soon as only your color is left over you won the
final NuclearChainReaction.

The simplicity moves this game more in the class of fun
games than in difficult strategic games. The ability to
play this game on a network will bring much fun to your
place. But even if you have only a standalone machine you
will find it a challenge to compete with the built in
computer algorithms.

NuclearChainReaction - tactical name:  NCR

We put it on the new US site and on peanuts, but again we
don't know where it finally will be sorted in.
