- Product: BOLO BALL
- Version 2.0 Feb.94 1992
-
- Requirements: EGA/VGA
-
-
- Description:
-
- The objective of Bolo Ball is quite simple. Starting from
- the top row you try to push your 29 balls down a maze so that
- they reach the bottom row. The farther down you can get them,
- the higher the score. You play against the computer who will
- play the RED balls and you will play the Blue.
-
- The game board is a 29x18 grid. In this grid there are several
- different obstacles that you will want to use to your advantage.
- They are:
-
- Blue Arrow Tiles: These are ramps that will make the ball
- travel in the direction of the arrow.
- Once a ball has hit a ramp and moves off
- it, the arrow will flip itself to the
- opposite direction for the next player's
- turn.
-
- Yellow Bonus Tiles: These will add ten points to your total
- score. They will not affect the path or
- direction of the ball.
-
- Gray Tiles: These tiles will stop the ball if they
- obstruct the ball's path. When all the
- balls have been pushed by both players,
- these gray tiles will be removed and the
- balls that are above them will continue
- to gather points as they descend toward
- the bottom row. (The game is won or lost
- in most cases by the points gained once
- these gray tiles are removed!)
-
- Purple Tiles: These purple tiles (ramps on level three
- of the long game version), rotate randomly.
- The ball will move in the direction of
- the arrow at the time of contact.
-
- Black Holes: There are five tiles that are called
- Black Holes. If a ball hits one of these
- black and white tiles, it will disappear
- and resume its journey from another one
- of the four remaining Black Holes.
-
-
-
- * Long and Short Games *
-
- There are two types of games you can play in Bolo Ball.
- One is the short version that ends after only one level, and
- the long version which has three levels. The computer is hard
- to beat playing the long version, but it's a lot more fun!
-
-
- * Scoring *
-
- Point totals are located on the bottom row of the screen.
- A ball that reaches the bottom row will be awarded 60 points.
- Each ball that remains on the grid board, will show its value
- (2 points per row). This will automatically be added to your
- total score.
