But it has since become a home-andhome series and is kept for the last Saturday of each season. And though excitement still bubbles, the tradition of "Big Thursday" has been lost. But, today, "Big Thursday" lives. ' RETURN OF Big Thursday" is the name of a Carolina-Clemson video game designed by a USC student and now available on campus. The game is similar to "Space Invaders," but instead of spaceships and lasers, it features gamecocks, tiger paws and footballs. The game's designer, who wishes to remain anonymous, said the idea came to her out of the blue five or six months ago. "I think it started when we (she and her husband) got in the middle of an argument with a Clemson person, she said. The talk turned to football, then to video games, and one thing led to another. "Not a single person took me serious, not even my husband," she said, adding, "but he takes me seriously now." APPARENTLY, SO do other people, including the University Bookstore, which began selling the games yesterday. The game can be played on a Commodore 64 home computer, but a version playable on Atari systems should be finished by next week. Tiger paws move across a black backeround while the olaver. controll ing a gamecock through a joystick, keyboard or trackball (a spherical device like that on "Centipede") tries to shoot them down.
