-
- Zeek the Geek Part One
-
- Zeek the Geek Part One is an introduction to Zeek and the puzzling situations
- that he finds himself in. Zeek needs to collect mushrooms for his family,
- and you can help him figure out how to get them. You will guide him through
- fifteen levels of play, and encounter a number of obstacles along the way.
- There are block walls that can't be moved and locked gates that can only be
- opened if you find the key. There are boulders to push out of the way,
- flowers that eat Geeks, and many other things that may help or hinder Zeek in
- getting to the mushrooms. You will have to figure out how to use or avoid the
- things you find while you guide Zeek on his way.
-
- The complete list of things that Zeek will meet in Part One is:
-
- Walls that do not move.
- Yellow barrels that do not move.
- Mushrooms that Zeek collects for his family.
- Toadstools that are fatal if eaten.
- Round yellow boulders that Zeek can push.
- Giant apples that Zeek can push.
- Yellow flowers that Zeek can pick.
- Locked gates.
- Keys to the gates. (Zeek can carry only one at a time.)
- Purple flower buds that open when a Geek is near.
- Purple flowers that eat apples and nearby Geeks.
- Magic crystals that disintegrate when brought together.
- Dynamite that Zeek can push to destroy most obstacles.
-
- Although other members of the Zeek family of programs must be purchased,
- Zeek the Geek Part One is provided free of charge.
-
-
- Zeek the Geek Part Two
-
- Zeek the Geek Part Two is a continuation of the adventures of Zeek with
- thirty all new puzzling situations for you to help Zeek through. Zeek
- still needs to collect mushrooms for his family, he will meet all the
- same hazards that he found in Zeek the Geek Part One, and he will meet
- many new ones, including Piclasops and Atomic Eyes. A Piclasop looks
- something like an earthly triceratops, but it is strictly vegetarian.
- It can inflict a fatal byte if you get in its way, but it ignores Geeks
- when left alone. Atomic Eyes were placed on Zeek's planet by an alien
- race that is trying to eliminate the Geeks and eventually take over the
- planet. They watch the Geeks, and zap them with a laser blast if they
- can get a clear shot at them.
-
- The complete list of things that Zeek will meet in Part Two is:
-
- Everything encountered in Part One.
- Piclasops that graze on the local vegetation.
- Atomic Eyes that zap Geeks when they can.
- Blue flowers that are fatal if picked.
- Attitude Eggs that change the colors of flowers.
- Rotten Apples that are digested slowly by the purple flowers.
- Invisibility pills that last for a short time.
-
- Zeek the Geek Part Two also includes the ability to read in Zeek the Geek
- Puzzle Packs. Each Puzzle Pack contains many more puzzles and challenges
- for you to help Zeek with.

- GAMES FOR DOS:
- --------------
-
- Sea Battle
-
- Sea Battle is Sidewalk Software's version of the age old paper and pencil
- game of two navys engaged in battle at sea. You are in control of one navy
- and the computer is in control of the other. Each navy has five warships
- hidden in a 10 by 10 grid, and each navy shoots into the grid hoping to hit
- one of the opposing navy's ships. You, as commander of one navy, will engage
- in battle against the computer, and you must try to sink its navy before it
- can sink yours. The game is very user friendly, it has easy to use controls,
- and it includes context sensitive help in pop-up windows. If you and a friend
- have enjoyed playing a paper and pencil version of this game, you'll love the
- fun that you can have with the computer version, and your computer is always
- ready for another round play.
-
- Scramble
-
- The game of Scramble contains a set of ten puzzles to be solved, and you
- can make more puzzles of your own. Each of the puzzles consists of a set of
- numbered or lettered tiles arranged into a pattern or phrase, and the
- pattern may contain blank tiles that are frozen in place. The pattern
- can be scrambled into a state of disarray by the computer, and your
- challenge is to move the tiles back into the proper pattern or phrase. You
- can move the tiles only one at a time, and only into an empty spot in the
- pattern. Start with a small simple puzzle, and progress to the very
- challenging large puzzles.
-
-
- DOS UTILITIES:
- --------------
-
- Time of Day with Reminder Notes
-
- Time of Day with Reminder Notes is a DOS utility that displays a friendly
- greeting including your name, the time, and date, and it provides a simple
- means of displaying date-coded reminder notes when you turn on your computer
- or when you request them. Your computer can remind you of holidays, business
