The Witching HourPC Port

The old board game Alquerque in Halloween dress: twelve witches against twelve ghosts on a board of 5 by 5 points. Pieces step along the lines or jump an enemy, jumps are compulsory, and a piece that can jump again must carry on. Play ends when one side has no pieces left. The computer plays by the listing's own weighted-random method.

Controls: The stick moves the box; the left button picks a piece up and drops it.
