[comp.sys.mac.games] Glider+ 3.0 cat screen

laf@mbunix.mitre.org (Lee Fyock) (09/19/90)

Does anyone know how to get past the cat in the
last screen of Glider+ 3.0?  I've tried quite
a few times and the cat just keeps swiping my
paper plane out of the air.

Thanks,

HEY! Where can I get a copy of this? I don't think I've seen it on Info-mac...

Ok, I've already received three requests for info on how to
get Glider+ 3.0.  If anyone can send me quick instructions
on how to post to comp.binaries.mac, I'll post it.

Thanks,

 To "win", you need to fly the plane out of the window (right at the point
where the cat's paw can hit the plane, naturally.) I can do this fairly
consistently by using the rapid back-and-forth trick to lower the plane
vertically until it's almost on the cat's back... then at just the right
moment, lowering the tail of the plane so it coasts backwards over the top
of his head and out the window. Personally, I find the second-to-last
screen to be the most difficult... those helicopters don't leave you any
room to maneuver over the tables, and trying to go underneath them is even
harder! :(
