Trenchfoot is a WWI first-person shooter game based on the machine
gunners and trench warefare in the Great War.  The basic game
constructs are based upon on the styles of Centipede and Space
Invaders.  This 2600 demo is meant to take the top-down shooter
concept replace the sliding bottom shooter (like Space Invaders)
with a rotating, fixed-point gun station (as in Asteroids).
Invading forces will come from the top down to the bottom of the
screen.  The user will use the joystick to aim his machine gun
left and right and, by killing the oncoming forces, collect as
many points as possible.  Points are subtracted as opposing forces
reach the bottom (player's base).
