Disk Title: PC Bingo and Words*Words
PC-SIG Version: S1.1
Program Title: PC Bingo
Author Version: 1.1
Author Registration: $10.00
Special Requirements: Printer to generate bingo cards.
Throw your next Bingo party at your home, church or school with
Michael Bielkiewicz's PC BINGO. Easy to use, it plays like the
real thing -- no strings attached. Print out up to 8 Bingo
cards per 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper, distribute among your players
and let the computer choose the Bingo numbers.
A great party game, PC BINGO could actually be used to replace the
old ping-pong ball method of the game -- though that day is somewhat
in the future. The ease of this package makes it accessible to all
ages who share a love for the Bingo game.
Program Title: Words*Words
Author Version: 1.2
Author Registration: $15.00
Special Requirements: None.
Through the process of elimination and osmosis you are faced with
the dilemma of deciphering a 5 letter word in no more than 18
guesses. Walter Blanchard's WORDS*WORDS sharpens your skills as
you unravel one of the 40 puzzles provided in this program. During
each guess, WORDS*WORDS reveals how many letters are common to the
puzzle word. For example, if the puzzle word was "drums" and you
guessed "stump" the program would tell you that "3" letters are
similar. Only real words are accepted by the program, so no
cheating is allowed! After tracing your results, one hopefully
discovers the answer to the puzzle.
WORDS*WORDS plays easily. Instructions are simple to follow and
play is performed on a plain grid. Just type in your guess (the
computer will either accept it as a real word or reject it) and
follow the results. A "discard" grid for letters not found in
the word, and a "keep" grid for letters that are, allow you to
organize your thoughts. No fancy features, so if color and graphics
are your love, you may be disappointed. But if your love is for
intellect, you may enjoy some of the difficult challenges this
program has to offer.
This program could be used for helping children with spelling and
word associations. An amusing yet challenging game for ages 12 and
up, WORD*WORD breaks through its simple format with its tough
puzzle solving.
