BEASTY A powerful hydrogen bomb has been detonated on a remote Pacific atol. The only survivers are Boris the spider and four Beasty bugs. Boris, although blinded by the effects of the bomb, goes in search of food. However, the Beasty Bugs are not easy prey. They know that refuge of sorts can be found in four blue squares which have mysteriously appeared in the charred ground. What they don't know is that their lives are controlled by an unimaginable intelligence whose thought patterns reach across the galaxy. Taking advantage of the energy released by the bomb, this Galactic Game Player has altered the laws of physics that affect the Beasties. For him, it is a game, but for Boris and the Beasty Bugs it is a matter of life and death. Rules of the Game: The Beasties move according to lines of force - little blue arrows. Each Beasty is filled with energy that gradually increases to a maximum then falls to a level just capable of supporting movement. The Beasties move according to the Beasty Factor - a measurement of the energy with which they have been charged. The number of steps taken is equal to the Beasty Factor - between 1 and 6. The Beasty Factor does not affect Boris. He has total freedom with the exception of his blindness. The Controls: Spacebar: Increments the number of steps the arrows (lines of force) will rotate. Return: Rotates the arrows and sets the Beasties moving. @: Claims, where permissible, the available points. Tab: Increments the sound level.
