The game was shown from birds view (or maybe isometric?), on Apple IIe IIRC.



You controlled a guy with an axe which was IIRC constantly walking forward, but you could rotate him left of right. So was the other player. You had an axe in one hand, and each time you moved with axe through other player, you damaged him which was shown as darker area (and eventually killed him, winning the score). If you got to one side of the screen it would scroll (as only part of playing area was shown at any time on the screen).



There was also (one or more?) flying discs, and if you stepped on it you would fly forward at much higher speed (which could work for you, or against you, depending how good you were).



I think you could choose if you wanted to play against other player or against the computer.



(Some of the details of my memory might be smudged by time, of course.)



Does anybody remember the name of the game?

    @Raffzahn no, unfortunately I don't remember the story or much else. I think when guy was damaged there was a blood dripping as he moved (the more damaged he was, the more blood), but that could be my imagination. I'm hoping someone might remember the gameplay and thus remember the game

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
