16. VIP Blockout

VIP Blockout is a fast action two-player game of skill, strategy, coordination and
excitement!

Two players each using their own keypad control the movement of their respective
lines (one solid and one checkered).

The object is for each player to maneuver his/her line in such a manner as to avoid
collision with another line while at the same time trying to cause the opponent to
collide with one.  As the play continues, the speed of the movement increases
demanding faster thought and response.
