.. this came in over USENET >>>>> Newsgroups: rec.games.video.arcade Subject: New Game It's called "Brainstormer" and (of course) allows two player interaction, but NOT the way you think---in alternating levels, the players make the board for the other player _in real time_ or race through the board, garnering more points for hard boards. The basic object is to race through an epeliptic's mind (a fluid, ever- changing thing), jumping your thought cycle from thought track to thought track (these tracks fade in and out of existence QUICKLY), pick up power-ups , such as the ability to fly for a short time, extra lives (BOY do you need those!), mental screens (which block out the thought lightning and protectors --small spheres whose job is to track and destroy you!). Yes, you do have a laser to disrupt these bubbles, but the bubbles, speed of track fading, and frequency and accuracy of the thought lightning increase as you go deeper and deeper into the person's mind. This game is hard but addicting! Anyone want to hear more about it? -- I thought I felt love for you/There was a closeness and warmth that I had never had before/Yet, it was not love./We both search endlessly for it/ We will not find it within each other/What we have, though, is also/ Special, in and of itself/We are too close to part/Yet too far to love. >>>>>>>>>>>> does this sound for real? Anyone heard of it or is it this guy's opium dream?
