Custard Pie Fight

This game involves, as the name suggests, the throwing of custard pies. The scene is the kitchen and all the doors and units are displayed at the top of the screen.

You have an unending supply of pies to throw at your opponent who can be another human being, or the computer if you are silly enough.

There are nine different speeds for both pies and humans to move at and you can disable sound if you so desire. When a pie hits one of the players he just falls over; I do think a little more of a splattering of the pie would have been nice.

Another criticism is that there is no provision for joysticks in the program. This is a real pity as I think this sort of program is more for the younger player, e.g. my five year old, than the Arcade Freak - and they handle joysticks better. A nicely done, if average, game.
