You are a young asteroid at home deep in space, content to flit back and forth between the Elder Bodies as the herd slowly drifts along. Suddenly, something strange and terrible begins to happen. A fierce creature- a dreadful shiny thing- appears out of the blackness on the edge of the herd. The other youngsters soon begin to disappear in flashes as the thing (you hear a strange sound whispered amongst the elders: ‘*myneng syp’* ) spits fire into the herd. Soon you are the only youngster left. You must protect the herd, if not yourself.

Release notes:

American Gladiator by Lauren Walker, David Wilson, Takuya Yoshikane

Our game is based on the competition TV show American Gladiators. More specifically, we loosely represented the popular event Assault. The arena is based on the set from the early years of the show, with the grey floor and prominent blue obstacles. Player two is based on the gladiator known as “Malibu,” and is outfitted in red while player one is outfitted in yellow, and represents the contender. Player two defends the flag with a cannon as player one attempts to steal it and return it to his base.

Waging a battle of epic proportions, Alien and Predator face off in an underground chamber. Armed with extreme sped and agility, the Alien is a strong match for Predator, whose advanced technology provides him with homing missiles directed by his own movement. The first player to kill his opponent 10 times, scoring him 100 points, by either attacking (Alien) or shooting (Predator) wins the game.
