Crossroads was a popular computer game from 1987 created by Steve Harter. The game consisted of a bird eyes view of a large maze filled with nine different single colored types of monsters as well as the player. Each monster has its own alliances and enemies which made the huge fray of monsters somewhat more manageable as they would kill each other. Along with these likes and hates, each monster had its own little bit of AI. Monsters regularly explode when killed causing a spray of like colored pixels across the screen which is multiplied by monsters attacking each other. All together these elements made the game experience hectic, fast passed and explosive.^[1] A video game developer is a software developer (a business or an individual) that creates computer or video games. ...
