Jon Perry and Pali Rao invite you to fight it out with Father Christmas
Introduction
The time-honoured and traditional pastime of Santa -
after delivering all his presents at Yuletide - is playing
the Snowman at Advanced Noughts and Crosses. But this year
everything just seemed to go wrong... After a particularly
hard day, Santa was in a grumpy mood. After losing for the
fourth time in a row, he jumped up, knocked over the board
and accused the Snowman of cheating.
The Snowman protested his innocence but Santa would only
be satisfied by a duel to settle the matter. They each went
to one side of the cliffs of Arhey and, being very adept at
magic, replicated themselves three times each. The magical
images would then throw snowballs across the chasm - each
image being destroyed by the slightest touch, but each side
had the added protection of three magical shields which
stopped oncoming snowballs.
Each side has five control keys, controlling a snowball's
angle and velocity, the position of the image which will
throw it, the shield and fire. However, you can't activate
the shield while your own snowball is in the air.
Dare you take sides and fight for the honour of the Snowman?
Or protect Santa from his own embarrassment? Only you -
with a friend - can settle the issue.
Note: This is not a turn-based game. Start the fight at once!
