Description

A "pyramid" is the main feature of this game. It has a top that opens by raising and lowering. A moving "Glidercraft" ship will be extended from the pyramid when the pyramid is open. The "Glidercraft" will zigzag left-right, in front of the pyramid, with about 90 degrees of horizontal movement.[1]

This game also features two "Horus" targets. These are basically the reverse of drop targets: they are targets that, rather than dropping down into the playfield when hit, rise up into the air. Each target is attached to a large "Horus" structure, which is itself attached to a pivot that can raise and lower. These Horus structures drop down to block the player from reaching two key shots. The game occasionally raises them, allowing the player to temporarily make the shots. Part of the development involved having actor James Spader record the voice parts of Daniel Jackson.[1]

gollark: Against tit-for-tat, say, it would realize that it got a better score if it coooƶoperated.
gollark: The opponent doesn't ALWAYS have that however.
gollark: Perhaps it should see what the next 2 turns are like if it does different things, and pick the best one.
gollark: I'm not sure how improved gollariosity should work.
gollark: Defect iff this would not cause its opponent to defect next?
