Trickashay is an original arcade game for two players. In David's own words:
Trickashay is a tank game where two players or one player vs. the computer fired shells
at each other, ricocheting them off of an array of diagonal barriers which turned 90 degrees when hit, constantly
changing the array; the tanks could also fire directly at each other.
Because of the richocheting, you can also shoot yourself. You also only have a limited amount of shots per tank. During
a game, if one hits the 'W' key, you can get slow firing, instead of the lightning fast version that happens by default. The different
skill levels dictate how many of the diagonal barriers appear (level 5 has none), as well as the number of human players.
NOTE: Computer Island sold this game (and Picnic, later re-released as El Bandito) starting in the July 1983 issue of Rainbow for $11.95 for both, where they were listed as "previously unreleased by Creative Computing".
