Disk Title: Fictionary & ATC
PC-SIG Version: 1.5
Program Title: Fictionary
Author Version: 1.2
Author Registration: $20.00
Special Requirements: None.
What is the definition of bebung? Could be "an Indian dessert made with
custard and honey." Then again it might be "an alchemist's distillation
apparatus." Wrong again, it's "a sustained musical note having a
pulsating effect. " Sounds like fiction, but it's actually FICTIONARY,
a game of strange and unusual words designed by Steve Estvanik.
FICTIONARY can be played in two ways - either in a group where you try
to fool each other into choosing the incorrect definition, or
individually, where the game becomes a vocabulary guessing game.
Playing with a group brings out the best playability in this program.
You receive points for either selecting the correct definition or by
having someone select your definition. You decide the final number of
points needed to finish a game.
Easy-to-use menus make playing FICTIONARY a breeze. Load
FICTIONARY on any IBM or compatible and the fun begins. Having a
pencil and a piece of paper around may also come in handy.
During each round of play, the word-giver sees the actual
definition, then enters a paraphrase. The others see only the word and
make up their own definitions. All players then vote for the
definition they think is correct. If this appears similar to the board
game Haberdash, it is, plus you now have the assistance of the
computer.
A great party game, FICTIONARY will test both your intelligence and
creativity. Adults will appreciate the difficulty, though children may
find the words too difficult to enjoy. Nonetheless, hours of fun await
those who dare to take the challenge.
Program Title: ATC - Air Traffic Controller
Author Version: 1.0
Author Registration: $20.00
Special Requirements: None.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, simulating the duties of a sector air traffic
controller, is a game that's perfect for a few minutes or hours of fun!
Easy to learn, but difficult to master, this game tracks best scores at
each of 20 levels of difficulty.
You must guide about 20 planes safely through your sector, symbolized
as a 13 by 13 grid. Two airports are shown, as are six "fixes" which
are the only safe exits and entries to adjacent sectors. Take off,
change altitudes, land -- each plane is shown as a letter with arrows
that show current direction. Use the whole keyboard with this game
(...if you're moonlighting as an atc, F10 allows quick escape when your
real boss shows up!).
