About

Land Slide is a 1993 two-player strategy board game by John O'Fallon, published by Maxum Development Corp. for the classic Macintosh. On a 16x16 grid of hexes, opposing players race to build an unbroken chain of territory across the map while simultaneously trying to block their opponent's bridge from reaching the far side.How it playsEach turn a player claims hexes to extend their own bridge or to disrupt the rival's path. Because the board is only sixteen hexes wide, every placement is both an offensive and a defensive move, and games tend to swing on a single contested column.ModesLand Slide supports both head-to-head play between two humans on the same Mac and a single-player mode against a built-in computer opponent, making it a quick pick-up game as well as a longer puzzler.System requirementsThe release is a 68k Macintosh application that runs on System 7.0 through 7.6 and Mac OS 9. It is also reported to run cleanly under SheepShaver for modern preservation use.PublisherMaxum Development Corp., better known for AppleScript and WebSTAR-era networking utilities, distributed Land Slide as part of its lighter games catalog in the early 1990s.
