The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

Not to be confused with the 1996 game from Webfoot Technologies, this game predates that game by 6 years.... Chain Reaction is a shareware strategy game for one or two people. The game is played on a 8x8 grid, into which players take turns to place their counters. Each square can hold as many counters as it has neighbors horizontally and vertically.

Once a cell has been claimed by a player, it belongs to them unless a neighboring cell is over filled. A cell that is overfilled explodes leaving just one counter behind, the remaining counters move into all the neighboring cells swapping which change to the color of the new token. If they in turn become over-filled they explode and so on and so on until a state of stability is reached. The object of the game is to eliminate the opposition by converting all counters to the player's color. The game is played with the mouse and has optional basic sound effects. The game was developed in the U.K. by A.R. Wright.
