Flash Attack

Flash Attack is the first of a new series of multi-user "Flash" games. These games work by way of a downloadable program that each player runs in his or her own PC, while connected to a multi-user bulletin board running the Entertainment Edition of The Major BBS. The action is full-screen, window-oriented, and blindingly fast. Up to 6 people can play together in one game, and up to 10 games may be in progress on one system at one time.

Players begin on an island covered with mountains, forests and lakes. Each player runs a military base, hosting an array of tanks, lasers, "neutrons", and "seekers". Each tank sports phasers, mines, and "pods". The objective is to destroy all of the other players' bases. While you are in the game, you see only the immediate environments of four of your tanks, as well as your own base -- split second decisions are crucial as your tanks roam over the island, since at any instant another player's tank or base may come into view in one of your tank windows, or you may find your own base under attack. Minefields, decoy bases, "neurubble", and the spirits of defeated players all come into play. There is even a fundamentally new type of pre-and post-game multi-user "chat" built in.

This version is setup to run in SOLO mode.
