Fun addicting little game
randomretroJune 29, 2008
Pros
Fun little archer game here, seems to be made of of two different game scenes. The first is a target practice and the second is a death match. The death match level had me laughing as I was shooting arrows over a wall at my enemy. Both levels get progressively harder as the game goes on.
Cons
Running the program might be tricky. Make sure and read the readme file in the archive. You need to drag the DCR file into your web browser to start the game. Keep in mind you need to have the Shockwave player installed also, but most of you already do.
