Loc is an original board game played on a hexagonal grid. Two players take turns assimilating each other's pieces by making chains of jumps over them, until no more jumps are possible and the board becomes "locked".
The master disk previously held an undetermined version of Great Wave's music composition and playback suite, ConcertWare. All of its Finder icons can be found in the DeskTop file, and much deleted data can be excavated from unused sectors.
