How to play Atomic. ------------------- Atomic is a strategic boardgame for one or two players. It is played on a 8 x 8 board (chess board). Your goal is to turn all the atoms of the opposit player to your color. A atom can only be placed in a square that doesn't contain atom(s) of the opposit color. The cornersquares can take 2, sidesquares 3 and centersquares 4 atoms before they explode. When a square explodes it throw its atoms into the nearby squares possibly causing new explotions. Atoms tossed into a square causes the atoms allready in that square to change to the tossed atoms color. When one player has lost all his atoms the game is over.

I wonder if this is spesific for my computer (Acer 1120SX) or if something is wrong with the game (i suspect TP6.0 to have an bug while using mouse). If anyone have the same problems or if they are playing Atomic for a long time without having any problems, please send me a note. Trondheim 3/9-91 Eirik Milch Pedersen E-mail: THACO@SOLAN.UNIT.NO
