Mad Show
Up to six players may compete in this bizarre, futuristic game show presented
on the screen of a TV set (wooden finish and all). Each turn starts with a
spin of the wheel: win the bet, and you score – lose, and you participate in a
contest of your choice… to the death.
The contests are at least slightly deranged, if not downright mad: first
there’s _Mad Space_ , which challenges you to a lightsaber duel on a floating
space rock. Next up is the _Mad Machine_ , where you chase a tiny robot around
a room full of mechanical traps, and try to whack it on the head with a metal
shield. _Mad Tunnel_ is a frisbee-style game – like Discs of Tron, if it were
played with sawblades and rockets over a pool of mutated alligators. Finally,
_Mad Virus_ tosses you back and forth on a conveyor belt (through cages of
hungry mutants) while you try to destroy the gigantic brain that controls it.
