a little bit of fun

If you're old enough, you might remember The New Daleks. Resurrected in Squeak:

Soon as I get five minutes I'm playing. Basically, run from the Daleks, and convince them to smash into each other. You should be able to use the sonic screwdriver to take out a swath of them if they get uncomfortably close, but only once per level, and you can save screwdrivers for later levels if I remember right. There's also the trick with the Time And Relative Dimension In Space thing where you can move from one part of the playing field to a completely unexpected new part of the playing field. I think I remember that sometimes that puts you right under a Dalek and that's game over.

I haven't tried Bob's Squeak port yet, that's going to have to be tomorrow, but hopefully at the least I'll be able to find some bugs. This was one of my favorite games when I was a kid, and it's cool to see it make it to the platform that never dies.

Excelsior!

I loaded and try to play, but do not have any ideas of it.
Can share some ?

Right and for anyone else who's not familiar with the TERROR -- the HORROR -- the NIGHTMARE of the Daleks, well, you can see a bit of it here...

They're really hard to get rid of. Like cockroaches with death rays really. You got one Dalek, you may as well have the whole damned species.

I look Google and found several about Daleks.

Delightful blast from the early Macintosh days.
Spent way too much time back then mastering this thing.

Thanks Bob!
