Ricochet (Copyright © 1995 Jeffrey R. Olson) is an arena battle game playable by up to 6 human or robot players. Players take turns firing weapons in a mirrored arena, attempting to destroy the other players. Projectiles can reflect off of the arena walls, and off of some of the circular or polygonal obstacles in the arena. Players receive additional points for every reflection his/her shot makes before hitting an enemy.

Ricochet features hi-res VGA graphics, there was also an SVGA version for those who donated more than $10, for Ricochet is shareware under conditions very similar to Alphaman.
