BOARD GAMES
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls: Here we have our new selection of
totally sizzling hot shareware. This month's theme: Board games. Take a look, snoop around, poke, pull, push and squeeze. Do whatever you want, but don't forget to support the shareware concept and register it if you like it. Enjoy.
Animal Quest
Experience nature from a very different perspective. Select the animal you want to be, capture your prey, avoid the predators and outsmart the
competition. This a fun and educational game for the younger audience. DOS required.
Destroyer for Windows
Here is the Windows version of the old American favorite Battleship. In
this game you control the American navy forces as they battle against the
Japanese (computer). It has an intuitive interface, entertaining graphics and challenging gameplay. Windows 3.1 or greater required.
Laser Chess
An old classic meets the new era. A laser is the new weapon that will change the way you think about chess. Use it wisely and it will wreak havoc in your opponent's mind, underestimate it's power and you will be reduced to a pile of dust. DOS required.
Majestic Dominion
No board games collection will be deemed complete without the old, but
always challenging, game of Checkers. Play against your best friend or
your worst enemy. We all know the rules but, can we master the game? DOS
required.
Numlo
Do you like to play Othello? Well, here is the classic Othello with an
added nice twist: Play against two opponents at the same time and to your
score add the numbered values of the blocks that belong to you. I advise
you to re-think your old strategies, this game can be very challenging.
DOS and a Mouse required.
Parchisi
Parchisi is an ancient "chase" game. Throughout the world there are many variations on this theme. This particular version claims to be the kind
played in and around India today. You can play against the computer or up
to four different players. DOS required.
PC-Gammon
Roll the dice and let's play. This PC version has a very nice menu system that makes it really easy to use. The game can also store the score
history of every player (a very handy feature if you want to proclaim your
superiority later). DOS and a Mouse required.
Puiss
This is a simple "four-in-a -row" game. The goal is to place four pieces on the board to form a continuous line in any direction. WARNING: 'Simple' does not necessarily means 'easy'. Just wait until you have tried it. Windows 3.1 or greater required.
Scrabout
This is a word game for Windows that is based on the famous board game Scrabble. Customize the dictionary for an even more mind-expanding experience (don't forget to add Worldvillage to the dictionary). Windows 3.1 or greater required.
WinChess
This is a Windows adaptation of the original classic (no laser guns here). Play against the computer, another player or watch and learn as the
computer plays itself. Chess anybody? Windows 3.1 or greater required.
