Descpription: The player controls a snake-like ship moving around
a number of mazes chasing three similar computer controlled
ships. Being hit by bullets reduces the length of the ships.

Ships are destroyed either when their length is reduced
to zero or when they collide with a longer ship.

Points are only awarded for shooting the oppossing players
and collecting the occasional fruit bonuses. Fruit bonuses
also increase the overall length of your ship.

Collisions between ships do not award any point score.

The computer controlled ships appear to have no chase or avoidance
algorithms. They move around the maze making random turns.

Each maze features a number of dead ends that will capture the
computer controlled ships and the player has only a limited
amount of time to destroy them before they self destruct
(depriving you of the point bonuses for shooting them).
