Bounder›› Atari User Vol.3 No.2››Have you ever thought of yourself as a bit of a William Tell? This challenging›game gives you the chance to show everyone what a crack shot you are. You take›the part of a slightly eccentric character who enjoys bouncing up and down on a›trampoline while shooting at various objects with a crossbow.››Unfortunately for you, these objects happen to be obscured by an endless stream›of indestructible balloons that drift up the screen, causing you endless›trouble. Your timing is critical: You only have a limited number of crossbow›bolts, so shoot carefully.››The game can be played by one or two players using joysticks plugged into ports›one and two. The crossbow bolt is fired by pressing the fire button, and the›speed of the man bouncing up and down can be altered by moving the joystick up›and down. The game consists of three individual rounds:››ROUND 1: Has you bouncing up and down shooting at a standard archery target. The›closer your bolts are to the bullseye, the more points are gained. This is the›easiest round to play, and gives you practice for the harder ones that follow.›The main problem is that the balloons keep getting in your way.››ROUND 2: You are attempting to shoot small glass jars off shelves and gain five›points for each one that you manage to hit. But this is not as easy as it›sounds, as those dratted balloons again obscure most of your vision.››ROUND 3: In this, the hardest level to master, the true archer comes out in all›of you as you try to shoot apples off the heads of two men. If you shoot a man›he dies and you only have one apple to shoot at. If you shoot both men then the›game automatically ends, regardless of how many bolts you have left. And all the›while those accursed balloons continue to stream up the screen annoying you.›When you kill a man (and you most probably will) he vanishes and a tombstone›appears with R.I.P. carved upon it, just to remind you of your hideous crime.›
