- There is a game running around SGI called bz (not quite Battlezone) that
- is a arcade-like tank game. It can be played in a network mode or against
- the computer. The graphics are pretty simple -- I wanted reasonable frame
- rates on the low-end systems (it doesn't even need a z-buffer).
-
- The source for bz was included on the Developer's Toolbox Version 2.1 CD.
- (Note that does not entitle you to distribute the source. :^) I believe
- it will be included in a future release of IRIX. At any rate, since it
- looks like interest is growing, I'll see about making the executable
- available via anonymous ftp. I'll post here when I do.
