Disk No: 891 Program Title: WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE and SOLITAIRE version 3.02 PC-SIG version: 1.5 We've all said "I can do that" when it comes to guessing the letters on that game show. Now PC-SIG gives you the chance to prove it, but there are are a couple of twists added to the situation. WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE is a one-to-six player game in which players compete to guess a puzzle consisting of a word or phrase. Under the puzzle the category of the word or phrase is displayed. A turn consists of spinning the wheel or guessing the puzzle. The wheel is composed of twenty-four slots, each of which contains a money value or a special slot. Landing on a special slot can cause you to go bankrupt, give you a free spin, or make you lose a turn. Landing on the other slots earns you money if you guess a consonant of the puzzle correctly. But, if you guess a letter, and it's not in the puzzle, that amount you landed on is SUBTRACTED from your winnings, thus giving you an incentive to be correct every time! The player who wins the most in the first three rounds of the game goes on to the bonus round, choosing five consonants and a vowel. The player then has fifteen seconds to guess the puzzle. If it is guessed, the player gets $25,000; if wrong, the player loses the round, but keeps the money won in the first rounds. There are more than one thousand phrases packed into this program which features pop-up instructions, mute switch, and a moving "Vanna". If words aren't your forte, maybe cards are more your style. SOLITAIRE is a computer version of the card game Solitaire. This is the basic version of the game, but with additional features. You can undo your last card played, select the number of cards to turn from the deck each time (usually three), and ask the computer whether or not there are any additional plays that can be made in a certain turn. There are several cheating options that you may or may not want to use, such as peeking at the first overturned card in each stack. The full version of SOLITAIRE allows you to turn the talon back over to the deck, while the demo version (which is contained on this disk) does not. There is on-line help available to the player throughout the game. Usage: Games and Entertainment. Special Requirements: None. How to Start: Type GO (press enter). Suggested Registration: $15.00 for SOLITAIRE and $3.00 for WHEEL. File Descriptions: -------- --- SOLITAIRE README SOL How to get started. SOL DOC Documentation. SOL EXE Main program.
