Poursuite 21 Nov 1983

A quick two‑player game, written in a few hours to test cassette‑program transmission over local radio (Radio Centuries, Salon‑de‑Provence). One player drives a three‑speed car, the other flies a plane that loses altitude every turn and can drop two kinds of bombs — either the plane crashes, or the car explodes. Longshot sent the program to Hebdogiciel, who published it in issue 30 (4 May 1984).
