This is one of the more interesting unreleased prototypes that
I've found, simply because it took freaking forever to figure out how to play it! It turns
out that the game wasn't unplayable as originally thought, it was simply a two-player only game -
something that died out right around this era. The basic gameplay is simple - each player controls
one of the horizontal bars on the screen. Press the 'fire' button to lock on to a piece. What you
need to do is move the piece to the opposite side of the screen. You can block the other player's
movement with one of your own pieces. One thing to be careful of is your energy - every movement will
take your energy down - it will regenerate on its own or when hitting your piece against the floating
symbol when it's shaped like an "E." Run out of energy, and you'll be frozen for a few moments while
it recharges. To win, you first need to move all of your side pieces to the other side of the board, and then
get your top piece across as well. Not the greatest game in the world - the lack of a single player option
hurts it - but it can be fun to play, once you figure out how to do it!
