Word Games Just released into the public domain is a 360K set of word games by Keith Mortimer. There are 7 games in total and a 200K crossword compiler with dictionary and print routines.. The games are Nobble (a Scrabble type crossword game for 2-4 players with a choice of 9 playing boards), Word wars (Battleships with words), Steal (Form words from a board of 200 random letters, towards the end you must steal letters from your opponent's board to survive!), Word Dominoes (as the title sugests), Waren (Pacman style word muncher maze game), Crossfire (create words from randomly generated letters, complete with insults!), and Loot (the only non word game, hunt the treasure in a maze). The crossword compiler is particularly good, the only failing being it needs 128Ko store the dictionary. However, if you have the K and the patience to learn how to use the program it produces rather good results. Example crosswords are provided and there is ample documentation. The Keith Mortimer Collection (now that's an original name), should be available now from both Scull and Data PD. ACU #9107 |
