Uncle Henry's Nuclear Waste Dump -- Antic

[gilsaluki]

Just discovered this jewel. U.H.N.W.D by James Hague in Antic Magazine. This is a very basic game programmed in basic. It is excellent. While it is seems simple, it is challenging. I have only been able to reach a top score of 600 points thus far. The object of the game is to dump nuke waste, disguised as barrels of three shapes. Do not dump waste of the same shape together or the whole thing blows up. Seems easy? Yeah right. A great game of reflex and hand/eye coordination. A great example of simple yet VERY playable fun from the old days of Antic.
