HP-86/87 Action Games Pac

Description

The Action Games Pac is designed to turn your desktop into an amusement center. It contains the following six arcade-style games:

• Criss-Cross a target-shoot game that involves you in a fight to the death with enemy space ships.
• Dodge Ball an avoidance game with three speeds to challenge your reflexes.
• Race an obstacle course to test your nerve and navigational skill at fast, faster and disaster.
• Heebie-Geebies a chase game that pits you against constantly increasing waves of Heebie-Geebies.
• Spools a jump game requiring coordination and timing.
• Mouser a `maneuver the maze' game in which you try to find the cheese and avoid the cat and mouse who are tracking you.

Instructions

Note: The file names of the programs in these directories may have been changed because of incompatibilities between either the Unix or the DOS/Windows filesystems. Essentially, spaces and "/" characters were converted to "_" and .BIN extensions were added to the files. Use the following table to locate the correct Series-80 filename when transferring the file back to the LIF floppy. Finally, be sure to read the instructions for transferring programs and data from your workstation to your Series 80 computer.

If you have the ability to create a floppy from a binary image, here is the entire diskette image: HP87-ActionGames.BIN.
