Over a half dozen programs with a strategy element
that will have you thinking hard while you play. CARDVARKS is one the
the familiar higher/lower card games for 1 or two players with some
excellent graphics. MISSING PERSONS is an unusual game in which you must
find persons hidden on a grid by pointing lasers and deducing where the
people are. MILESTONES is based on the board game
in which you try and reach 1,000 miles by playing roll, mileage and
hazard cards and is basically a text version of the same game on an
earlier disk. The pick of the bunch is VITAL SIGNS, a unique program
with serious educational undertones in which you must keep the heart and
lungs of a person in good order under different activities and air
conditions by adjusting respiration and heart rates. Quite unusual, we
have not come across a program quite like this before. Others include
SUPER WUMPUS, a text based hunt for the Wumpus in 20 rooms while
fighting bats etc., FRAZEE, a version of the well known Yahtzee and
TRANSITION, one of those ever so simple, yet highly frustrating games in
which the object is to simply change the position of five tokens. Even
with 511 possible solutions, finding just one is hard enough! All in all
a good collection to make you think.
