================
A Revolutionary New Arcade Game

Required Dos 3.3
"Cannonball Castle, fortress of the enemy redcoats, sits high
atop Nutcracker Hill. It is your mission, as a rebel soldier, to
climb Nutcracker Hill and destroy the castle. Not so fast though -
there are many traps and obstacles designed solely for your
elimination. Rough terrain and enemy troops are bent on your
destruction, and a constant rain of cannonballs could cause a
fatally large headache. Many men before you have tried and failed,
so it's all up to you...
Cannonball Blitz is an exciting new arcade game that will have you
climbing the walls (the walls of Cannonball Castle) over and over
again."

terrible headache. To aid you in quest of the enemies� flag, you
can use the balloons or the see-saws to help you.
On the second screen, your mission is to make holes in the
platforms all the way to the top of the screen and knock them out
from under the Guard. Your soldier must cross over the trapdoors
to make a hole. Beware of the cannons! A cannon can be destroyed
with a hammer, or with enough skill, you soldier can jump them.
Your soldier may also take advantage of the many ladders to help
him to the top.
On the third screen, your mission once again is to capture the
Guard�s flag. This time there are elevators to assist you. You are
allowed three headaches, and then the game is over.
