WARLORDS (ATARI 2600)

In Warlords, you must defend against three human and/or computer players. Each of the four players stands in one of the corners of the screen guarded by a castle. You control a small shield that can be moved around the castle. To survive you must use the shield to block a bouncing ball on the screen. If the ball hits your castle, it will remove some bricks. If a hole forms in the castle wall and the bullet passes through and hits your warlord, then you are out of the game. The last player still alive wins the battle and the first player to win five battles wins the game ! Several game options are included that allow you to catch or ricochet the ball when the shield hits it and control the speed of the game.
