Description

Pillbox is a 1 - 2 player side-view artillery game for the TRS-80.

Each player controls a randomly placed pillbox, which are separated by a large mountain. Each player tries to shoot the opposing pillbox by typing in the angle and velocity of their shot. The player can compete against another human opponent or the computer. After a pillbox is hit, the location is again randomized. The first player to hit their opponent 5 times is the winner.
