'Return of I
intercolleaic
By David Hill
For decades, it was the sports event
in South Carolina ? the annual football
war between USC and Clemson
fought each October on the Thursday
of State Fair week in Columbia.
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. Periodically, a
large tiger paw appears, trying to blow

There are three levels of play: begin- g

and advanced, for potential All- r
Americans.
After the idea came to her, the s
game's designer said she started work c
on it, but abandoned it to develop
other software. Less than a month >
ago, though, she "started over from 1
scratch.*'
THERE WERE some equipment 1
and supplies expenses, but labor was c
the biggest part, she said. "Atari pays 1
their programmers $25 an hour," she t
said. <
