Friday Flash Fun

Friday Flash Shockwave Spy Bot. "You work by fighting DataBattles, in which you deploy and maneuver programs to defeat opposing software on the memory grid." Good wholesome fun, and highly addictive.

Wow, way more fun than I thought it would be when I started playing. A bit of an explanation of the different programs somewhere would be nice, or am I just too daft to find it.

Man, did I ever burn some time playing this one. It really gets hard in the later levels-- more strategy and less resource-collecting.

I found this quite addictive. The real killer was PED Treasury Funds (level 4), which I handled with the following team:
   bit-man       golem-stone
     bit-man turbo-dx
  golem-stone   sumo

With seven strategically obliterated grid squares, it was doable.

Yes, I'm aware I'm taking this far too seriously. I had to keep the Spybotics window minimized all day Sunday after frittering away at least half of Saturday on it...
