Not on your Nellie A challenging word game (with elephantine connections) for the Amstrad by Steve Lucas In this game, you will be shown an anagram and will be asked to solve it. Each incorrect letter causes the mouse to move closer to Nellie the Elephant, and this will eventually scare Nellie away! You can add extra data statements containing extra words, provided that the final data item in the list of questions is xxxx (see Line 940). The number of incorrect guesses allowed is half the number of letters in the word plus two. This can be changed in Line 690 (see Rem in Line 700). Program Notes - 10-50 select colours/mode
