Fracas
Description
Fracas is a Bomberman-type of game for one to four players. it is played with either the keyboard or joystick(s).
There are two game modes, Normal and Battle.* Normal mode: here the player plays as a lone wizard in a maze. Routes around the maze are blocked by boulders and pathways are patrolled by enemies - any contact with one of them costs a life. The wizard has a number of sizzling cauldrons at his disposal, these are actually a bombs which do not detonate immediately giving him time to move out of range. Using these bombs carefully the player can clear boulders thus gaining access to the full maze and the patrolling enemies. Sometimes, when a boulder has been destroyed a gem is left behind which either increases the number of spells at the player's disposal or the range of the next blast. Once all enemies have been killed a portal appears within the maze taking the player to the next level. Completion of a level reveals a code which the player uses to restart the game after the last completed level. The full version has sixty levels to complete.
- Battle mode: this is the multiplayer game. There are no computer controlled enemies just the other players but the setting, a boulder strewn maze, is the same. When configuring a game in Battle Mode the players can select the number of rounds in the match up to a maximum of nine and there is a choice of maze to play in
