- There is a game with a title similar to this (similar enough that I can't
- remember if it's the right one) that is available as shareware on the Mac.
- The game is amusing for a while, but gets old quickly. You are in a
- playing field of a given size (30x50, say), and you have to keep from being
- hit by the Daleks. At the same time, you have to destroy them, using the
- well-known (<grin>) method of tricking them into running into each other.
- This is feasible because they are programmed to move toward you at every
- step.
-
- It gets very challenging at the higher levels (unless there's a trick I
- don't know about), but there isn't much point to it.
