Zap!!
Zap!!" is an exciting and challenging VIC-20 game program that is designed for up to six players and up to five rounds per player. Each player may select from any of five skill levels and may change levels each round, if desired. Using keyboard controls, players maneuver a block around the screen and through a field of randomly placed and color coded graphic figures. The object is to run over and erase as many of these figures as possible in two minutes, but also to avoid running into asterisks and being zapped. After the player block is moved it cannot be stopped, but the direction of movement may be changed. The higher the skill level, the faster the block moves and the more asterisks there are. The number of scoring figures is increased also so that a higher score is possible too. The figures on the screen count differently toward the score. If a player is "zapped," he retains his score, but his time is over. Players may run off the screen, but may strike a hidden asterisk if they do so. A vertical wraparound feature prevents players from wandering too far off the screen. A variety of colors, graphics, and sound effects add excitement to the program. As with most computer games, proficiency at Zap! will take some practice and a lot of concentration.
