Due to its own nature, the VGA dsiplay is very weak . Make sure that you are running Windows Console Host (as it was from XP) and not Windows Terminal (as it was from Windows 11). Never run the console in "Full Screen". It is recommended a Font size of 36 or lower, but not below.
- Two players.
- The screen marks each player's keys to control your turtle (red or yellow), up, down, right, left and shooting.
- Your goal is to catch every jewel '@'. You cannot pass through stones 'O', but can push them. You cannot either pass through or push the ice blocks ' * ' , but you can melt them by shooting them.
- You can also shoot your adversary, game ending when reached.
