Buffalo Roundup
arcade game for Commodore 64, 1984
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 2.
Buffalo Round Up is a single screen game shown from above at an elevated angle
where you play a cowboy on his horse who has to round up all the buffalo
on the screen through a gate. On the top and bottom of the screen are gaps
to the desert but on level one, three are blocked by fences and you
can't allow any Buffalo to escape into the desert. You must move around
the screen encouraging or pushing the buffalo in the direction you want
them to move. If you leave any buffalo then they will move in the direction
they feel like moving and although there is water in the middle of the screen
this won't harm any buffalo just stop them moving. All the buffalo
must be moved through the gate before a clock counts down to zero and if you
manage to get all buffalo in without losing any then you move to the
next level with another fence removed.
