PEGLEG is the hottest arcade game to hit the Macintosh in a long, long time. Playable full screen on any monitor capable of 256 colors or grays, and with PowerPC native code, combined with 680x0 code, as a "Fat binary," PEGLEG promises to capture every last ounce of adrenaline with blazing speed, smooth animation, and crisp rich sound. Watch for special online pricing.
PegLeg is an action game in the grandest tradition. With your hands at the controls of the Mach Z Battalion Blaster, a space craft designed to help you defend the earth from wave after wave of vicious alien pirates, you must battle alone. Your only goal is to survive against mounting odds.
PegLeg is designed to appeal to all players, from arcade neophytes to veteran gamers. The game offers three levels of difficulty: the slow mode allows you time to develop a familiarity with the controls; medium gives you a more challenging pace; and fast taxes your reflex to their utmost. A word of warning –– Double Speed is, well, fast, particularly on a Power Macintosh. PegLeg will, however, play full screen in 256 colors on any size monitor, giving you plenty of room to run, while still giving you a thoroughly adrenaline-pumping experience.
One of the most completely satisfying arcade games available, Pegleg is simple, elegant, and so addictive it's dangerous. Pegleg is destined to become one of the best selling arcade games ever for Macintosh.
Quotes:
"Best Shoot'Em'Up of 1995"
GAME HALL of FAME Winner
-- MACWORLD Magazine, January '96
“[PegLeg is] a phenomenal trigger fest, one of the best arcade games the Mac has seen
in a long time... My only qualm is that the game is so addictive that it’s hard to stop
playing long enough to write a review, or to do any other work for that matter.”
-- GAMES Magazine, June '95
"...One Of The Most Addictive Mac Arcade Games In Years...This Game Is A Must Buy for Macintosh Arcade Fans."
-- Thomas Powell, Axcess Magazine
"Hands down, this is probably the best shoot-em-up of 1994."
-- Chris Charla, Mac Home Journal, December '94
“[PegLeg] combines the best elements of Centipede, Space Invaders and Mac classic Crystal Quest in a mind numbing arcade shoot-em-up. The fast mode should not be attampted on a Power Mac unless you wish to court terminal brain-fry."
-- Chris Charla, Mac Home Journal, July '95 (In selecting PegLeg as one of the Top•Ten Mac Games of All Time)
"PegLeg will have you on the edge of your seat as you wipe out wave after wave of pesky alien hordes."
-- Eileen Mullin, Inside Mac Games
