Set the Hostages Free

About this game

Set the Hostages Free is an interesting game concept, created in 1981 (!) using color ASCII text-mode "graphics". Your gun/pointer/thingie rotates around the game board, as do the enemies. In order to rescue the hostages (aka, ASCII character 1 & 2s in the center) you must shoot to the "bandits" moving around the center area in a limited number of shots. It feels sorta like several other games (ex, Tempest, Qix, or maybe Warlords?)
