typed that one in myself.  Not a bad game, but poor on-screen prompting for
input -- takes awhile to figure out the keys after brushing the dust off
the disk....  I'd post it, but I'm certain I'd be flamed.  What's the
legality of mailing copies???

As I recall, LC is set up on a board slightly smaller than a standard
chess board.  Most of your pieces are mirrors of assorted shapes and
angles.  In addition, you have a "beam splitter", laser, teleporter, and
king.  The object is to hit the opposing king with your laser, using the
mirrors to direct the laser shots.  Most of the mirrors are not reflective
on all sides, allowing them to be destroyed if hit from the wrong side.
In addition, *ANY* piece the kings "walk over" are destroyed.  Each plyer
gets two moves at a time.  Neat game really.  Too bad I don't have anyone
to play with.... :(
