  15. Bunion Canyon is a  game   for   0-4   players, with both human and/or
  16. computer controlled (AI) players.
  17.  
  18.                                  ~~~
  19.  
  20. Taking on one of four symbolic guises, you must make your way from the
  21. solid, rocky floor of the Canyon  to the metaphysical enlightenment of
  22. the heavens above, avoiding being bludgeoned to death by the psychotic
  23. hammerhead on the way up.
  24.  
  25. To help you  in  your  quest  for  higher  knowledge  the gods secrete
  26. mystical blue balls onto the platforms.  Picking them up will give you
  27. one of four special powers:
  28.  
  29.  
  30. Whirlwind:
  31. ----------
  32. your lungs fill with  steel!  you  now  have  the  power  to blow your
  33. opponents along the  platform,  out  of  your  way,  hurling them into
  34. deadly dangers!
  35.  
  36.  
  37. Lightning Strike:
  38. -----------------
  39. you have the power to channel  nature's raw electricity with which you
  40. may stun your opponents, knocking  them  senseless while you step over
  41. their prostrate forms.
  42.  
  43.  
  44. Slither:
  45. --------
  46. with this new power you  can  force  your  opponents to slither down a
  47. rung of the evolutionary ladder, giving you the chance to climb higher
  48. and higher!
  49.  
  50.  
  51. Death:
  52. ------
  53. the gods have been very kind, taking pity on your tiny fragile passage
  54. up the  platforms  of  life,  they  bestow  upon  you  this  weapon to
  55. counteract the fatal blow of fate's hammer.
  56.

  138. 'Amusing' Bunion Canyon Facts:
  139. ------------------------------
  140.  
  141. Winner of the most repulsive name award 1997 and 1998.
  142.  
  143. Winner of the most delayed, yet finally completed! Cwmvention '24 hour
  144. game' competition [Arnel's  game  is  still  to  be  completed 3 years
  145. on..;]
  146.  
  147. Its name is also directly responsible  for  its delay, as not just one
  148. but TWO! graphics artists refused to draw a logo for it..
  149. A third person was found who was willing to abandon all morality to do
  150. the deed.  What he got in return for this, we have yet to discover.
  151.  
  152. The game features rather an eclectic range of graphical styles, due to
  153. the fact that four  [five  if  you  count  previous personas] separate
  154. artists have contributed (most unwittingly) to it.  See credits.
  155.  
  156. MrPink is the man responsible for the name, as well as the code.
  157.  
  158. Bunion Canyon's sister game is coded  by  Yoshica of rg, and is called
  159. 'Hammered'.  It is however yet to  be  finished, but might be released
  160. "at some point", perhaps.  Maybe.  Possibly.  At some point.
  161.  
  162. The 'Collins  Dictionary  &  Thesaurus'  (shorter  version)  gives the
  163. following definition for 'bunion': "an  inflamed swelling of the first
  164. joint of the big toe."
  165.  
  166. The game was coded three times.  Third time lucky perhaps.
