Sinners

Sinners © 1976 People's Computer Co.

A puzzle game where the player must beat an AI opponent. Both the player and the opponent have distinct roles and rules to which they are bound. The game takes place on a five by five grid. The player controls 21 sinners and the computer controls three devils. Each turn the player must move a single sinner up, down, left or right into an adjacent tile. In response the computer must move a single devil up, down, left or right a single tile to remove a sinner from play.

The goal for the player is to get all three devils in a horizontal or vertical (noncontinuous) line. The goal for the devils is to kill all surrounding sinners so that no further moves are possible.
