Package: heroes-sdl (0.21-7)

Collect powerups and avoid your opponents' trails

Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but includes many graphical improvements and new game features. In it, you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups while avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even your own trail.

Several styles of play are available, including "get-all-the-bonuses", deathmatch, and "squish-the-pedestrians". All game styles can be played in both single-player and two-player (split-screen) modes.

You should install the heroes-sound-effects package if you want sound effects, and the heroes-sound-tracks package if you want background music in the game. These packages are quite large (especially heroes-sound-tracks), so you might want to try the game out before installing them.

This version is linked against the SDL libraries. See heroes-ggi for a Heroes version that is linked against the GGI libraries.
