For those who skipped childhood or were never picked for field games, in Capture the Flag each team has a flag it tries to protect while trying to capture the opponent's flag. The game is played outdoors and involves running, jumping, hiding, plotting, tackling, torn clothes, skinned knees, bruises and other genuinely fun stuff. The software version needs a VGA color monitor and should be run on an AT - or better IBM PC or compatible. It supports a mouse and SoundBlaster audio cards. You can play against human or silicon opponents.
Programming is top of the line, with thoughtful help and dialogue boxes and widely varied terrain.
Team members have different strengths and weaknesses, and using them properly to accomplish the mission is an interesting exercise in light infantry tactics with no fatalities. This is a turn-based game but the mouse control and animation are outstanding.
