"The Bilestoad" is a strategic arcade game featuring hand-to-hand combat.
The original version was published in 1982 for the Apple II computer,
where it was quite popular. This is a pre-release demo of a completely
modernized and updated version for the Macintosh computer, by the
original author.

This version of The Bilestoad requires the following:
o A 33Mhz 68030 or faster processor.
o A 256 color display.
o Enough free RAM to run a 4.5Meg application.
o System 7.

For additional information, see:

Changes from v0.9d include:
o No more crashes on 68K macs without CFM-68K Runtime Enabler.
o Fixed graphics alignment in zoomed-out mode.
o Control improvements:
- Meatlings take partial steps.
- Legs follow torso around for easier steering.

Enjoy!
