Introduction
Bruce the bashful jet-ball is speeding along the technicoloured inter-Starian freeway en route to where his true love waits. But the course of true love never runs smooth, and the freeway surface is starting to crack up, with unpredictable results. So the stellar highway engineers have marked sections of the surface with different colours according to the different effects that they have on progress. Certain sections slow you down, speed you up, or make you bounce. Other sections can have the disastrous effect of reversing your ball controls - while others are just plain deadly!
Sphere Of Destiny is superfast arcade action for the BBC - including Master - and Electron. There are 64 stretches of freeway to test your reactions and dexterity to the limit - with a fulfilling reward for those who can make it through!"
Bruce the bashful jet-ball is speeding along the technicoloured inter-Starian freeway en route to where his true love waits. But the course of true love never runs smooth, and the freeway surface is starting to crack up, with unpredictable results. Rather than set up an intergalactic contraflow system, the stellar highway engineers have marked sections of the surface with different colours according to the different effects they have on progress...
Blue | O.K. No problem. |
Yellow | O.K. No problem. |
Black | Black Hole. Avoid these sections at all costs. |
Red | Slows Bruce down. |
Green | Gives Bruce a boost of speed. |
Magenta | Gives Bruce a bounce. |
White | O.K. Gives a small bonus. |
Cyan | Reverses Bruce's speed and steering controls - aagh! |
Bruce has to travel 64 eons before he gets to his true love - and his reward! (In the year 2129, women seem to go for the oddest balls) Lucky Bruce has three lives, and your job is to help get him there - or at least as far as possible!
Note - Every self-inflicted bounce will reduce your lifespan more quickly!
