I stand corrected and have restored the architecture information.

Still a cool game, though. Smile

@papa:

IIGS User is right. This cannot be a PPC game if it was released in 1988. Using NativeChecker will show you that this is 68k only. Lots of 68k applications run OK on PPC Macs but they are still 68k architecture.

It runs fine on my Power Mac G4 Cube so I added "PPC" to the compatible architectures.

I think this part is meant to the architecture the game is based on. See the application NativeChecker for details. Wink

I added a few more screen shots to show grid, instructions and cross-hairs.

This game is awesome. And it's a good use of Mini vMac's magnification and speed control features! Just be sure to read the instructions.
