Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but includes
|
|
many graphical improvements and new game features. In it, you must maneuver
|
|
a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups while avoiding
|
|
obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even your own trail.
|
|
|
|
There are five game modes available. Quest is the classical Nibbles, in
|
|
Death Match you start with very long tails and must kill your opponents, in
|
|
Kill'em All you must run over lemmings moving on the ground, in Time Cash or
|
|
Color modes you must collect money or pyramids of color. Heroes features 12
|
|
original sound tracks, 94 levels (in 10 different tile sets) plus a level
|
|
editor.
|
|
|
|
Heroes' source code (distributed under the GNU General Public Licence
|
|
version 2) originates from an original MS-DOS game but has been heavily
|
|
modified to enhance the portability. Some new features have been added and
|
|
MS-DOS support has been lost by the meantime. The original MS-DOS version
|
|
can still be found on the Internet but is unmaintained and should be
|
|
considered obsolete.
