PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
ONE LINER:
Challenging puzzles with great EGA graphics and a space flavour
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Move your "pod" around a network of coloured tracks to remove them, but
avoid falling off. Harder than it sounds! A challenging puzzle game,
featuring great EGA graphics with a distinctive space flavour.
MEDIUM DESCRIPTION:
This puzzle game for EGA systems stands out by having a high level of
graphics and can be operated on a variety of computer speeds (from XT to
486). The puzzles are challenging enough for the most dedicated mind-
bender, yet the concept is simple enough to explain to children. 20
levels come with the shareware program, with another 60 waiting for the
registered users (who will also receive a bonus level designer). Other
features include online help, sound effects, and a demo mode.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
Move your "pod" around the network of coloured tracks to remove them, but
avoid falling off or being left stranded. Different colours require
multiple passes, which makes life that more interesting, and other pieces
do even more interesting things like throwing you half way across the
board! Using the cursor keys the game is easy to play, yet the levels can
be very challenging for even the most dedicated puzzle freaks. Children
will find the colours amusing, and the simplicity of the game will enable
them to play it almost immediately. The game comes with online help,
sound effects, and a demo mode which goes through the basics of the game
while you watch. 20 levels are issued with the shareware version, while
registered users will enjoy a further 60 levels, plus a utility that
enables them to create their own POD levels. POD works on any IBM
compatible with EGA graphics and 256KB of memory.
KEY WORDS:
Shareware, Game, EGA, Graphics, Board.
