SPALG
A downloadable game
A long-lost Amiga game from 1995!
Created by Tim Moore as an homage to the TRON Lightcycle game, SPALG existed only in the memories of the lucky few who saw it during its original creation. Now, 31 years later, SPALG has finally been released to the world!
STORY:
Ravaged by years of government underfunding, only a few lucky humans survive in the wilderness.
A corrupt company, "Dorrcor", has the world held in its hands.
It owns the patent for the 'Spalg Crystal', a source of infinite energy and high nutritional value.
Sold in burgers by the chain of food outlets known as "McSpalg's", Spalg Crystals are the only food source on Planet Spalg.
To save your family from starvation, you decide to enter the sadistic game show known simply as...
SPALG
As you enter the arena, you remember your promise to win the Spalg Crystal.
This is your only chance.
GAME:
SPALG is a TWO PLAYER only game.
Each player takes control of a Spalgfighter using a joystick. The Spalgfighter leaves an energy trail behind it. If a player touches one of these trails, or a wall, he loses the round.
The Spalgfighter moves at a constant speed and is steered by moving the joystick left to rotate anti-clockwise and right for clockwise. In addition, the speed can be temporarily increased by boost, which is activated by pressing up. If a fast turn unit is installed, the Spalgfighter can turn at an increased rate by holding fire and the relevant direction.
HINTS:
- Each win rewards you with 5 cash.
- The more rounds you play, the more fun the game becomes as you build up your cash reserves to buy the all-important Power Ups.
- Power Ups have a max purchase capacity. Choose wisely!
POWER UPS:
| Power | Cost | Max | Info |
|---|---|---|---|

| Turn | 15 | 6 | Permanent fast turn |
