 BOUNCES
 Beyond 1986

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Bounces is the sport of the future - even though it looks rather
 silly, with two men tied to elastic bands trying to shoot a ball into
 the goals in the ceiling...

 GAMEPLAY : The ball is shot out of an overhead pipeway; each player
 must try to shoot it into the rooftop goals. It richochets off the
 walls and floor at great speed, and is quite capable of knocking a
 player off his feet. Each player is restrained by a piece of elastic
 which constantly pulls him backwards. Players hold a catcher in each
 hand and the ball can be caught in this by pressing the fire button.
 Pressing fire again shoots the ball back into play. You can also use
 the catcher to hit your opponent! Status bars monitor both players'
 energy levels - collisions with the wall, the ball or the opponent
 sap energy, but it can be regained by taking a brief rest on-court.
 Using too much energy results in temporary paralysis. There's also
 a time limit of two halves of 90 seconds each, represented by the
 centre bottom hourglass.

 COMMENTS : "An interesting, playable game".
 RATING : 75% (CRASH #29, June 1986)

 NOW : A curious game - worth looking at for its oddness if nothing else!
