Title
Flag Capture is a more primitive Minesweeper: You track a single guy and unveal either numbers which dictate how far a flag is hidden that you need to unravel, or in which (approximate) direction, using 8-way arrows. There are also bombs scattered all over the place, and like Minesweeper, the objective is to try to score the number of safe spots in a time frame, and avoid blowing yourself up. Only, the arcadey, actiony nature of the game lends itself to a multiplayer experience, where both you and your opponent race to find this one particular flag. It can be a nifty competition, but easily exploitable by the virtue of reading your opponents movements.
