A bit of play footage of guys playing Atari's four-player 1980 arcade hit "Warlords." Each player has a castle to protect from ricocheting fireballs with a shield of sort that they can then use to bounce those fireballs at each other.
The fun thing about this game was how easy it was to get random strangers to play against each other and enjoying a simple yet fun game. I met two of these guys whilst talking about "Panic Park" and sitting at the "Warlords" table when an older gentleman invited us to play a round with him. After I lost, another stranger passed by and wanted in on the next game. We played several rounds and took time to chat about our CAX experiences.
