Pangolins
I wrote this games ages ago, on an A500+, and I never intended
to release it, but certain people (Hi John!) persueded me to
send it in :) Just drag the directory to wherever you want on
your HD. You can play it straight from the CD, but you won't be
able to save any games, obviously :)
This is not your usual type game - there are no slimy aliens to
blast, no problems to solve. I wrote Pangolins mainly to amuse
my children, who seem to have endless imagination for this sort
of game.
Pangolins may take you some getting in to, depending on how weird
your sense of humour is... My boys got into it straight away, which
seems to say something about hereditary traits.. ;)
The idea of Pangolins is to think of an animal, and see if the
computer can guess it - that's about it, really! If the computer
can't guess your animal, it will ask you to tell it a question that
differentiates between its guess and your animal. Try to input an
imaginative question - "Tell me the difference between a Seagull and
a Duck" could be responded to by "Does it **** on Cross Channel Ferry
passengers" for example... (OK - I told you about my sense of humour! ;)
The fun comes in thinking up the most bizzare animals imaginable, and
seeing the guesses the computer starts to throw out as you get into
the game. If you want to keep a particular game, just save the files
Data and QF somewhere other than the program directory, and move them
back when you want to continue that game.
The program is self-explanatory, but try continuing the game already
provided - it may help to see that there are others far more insane
than you!
If you like it, or just want a chat, drop me a line at either of the
addresses below.
I hope you get some fun out of "Pangolins" :)
