Gotcha Description

A two-player maze game where the object is to catch the other player.

Game Introduction

The maze is displayed on the screen. The first player controls the Pursuer which is represented by a square and the second player controls the Pursued which is represented by a plus sign.

Game Play

As the Pursuer moves closer and closer to the Pursued, an electronic beep sound increases in frequency to a feverish pitch until the Pursuer catches the Pursued.

Each time, the Pursuer catches the Pursued, a point is scored and the chase starts over again.
