 
ARCADE & ADVENTURE
Part 2 of 3
DreamSoft Games Collection - DreamSoft was formed by managing director
Steven Sims in October 1993 specifically to develop software to exploit the Apple Newton.
Over the past year in our free time we have written some Newton games to amuse ourselves,
and as a convenient demonstration of our programming abilities. Full descriptions and
instructions are contained within all the games. Includes - Bomb Game - A 2-6 player
critical mass game. Players take turns placing bombs on a grid, whose squares will explode
when too many bombs are placed. The winner is the last player left alive. Hangman - Our
own version of the classic game. This is for one or two players. Pairs - Another classic.
Match the pairs of cards to win. Number Invaders - Shoot the invading stream of numbers.
FlagChase 1.2 - Direct the train to capture each of the flags. Tap the
start button to begin, and then tap the N, S, E and W buttons to direct the train, capture
flags and avoid walls. See how long you can make your train!

GestGame - Welcome to GestGame, an exciting arcade game for the Newton
in which you have to destroy words by typing them in on the Mosaic. This game utilizes a
patented method of data entry known as Gesture Mosaic. The included GestDemo package
provides an introduction/tutorial which you should go through before playing the game.
Somebody is trying to put words into your head! The only way you can stop them is by
typing in the word before it penetrates your defenses using the Gesture Mosaic. In this
arcade-style game, words of varying length fall from above and attempt to bomb their way
past your shield. As the game progresses, the words fall faster and more words appear as
soon as one hits your shield. When three words have penetrated your shield, the game is
over.
Incoming! 0.99b - Incoming! was created as a design and programming test
on the Newton. Basically what we wanted to do was see what kind of things could be done
with arcade-like animation. This game is more of a programming demo for the us then
anything else, but we thought other people might find it entertaining. Your mission in
this game is to defend your cities from waves of ICBM's. This is accomplished with the
defense missiles you have. Because of tracking stations already destroyed in the war, you
can only track two of your missiles at once. This means you'll have to choose your shots
wisely. Have fun and save your cities!
Isaac 1.1 - Isaac is the type of game that takes a minute to learn how
to play, but can keep you occupied for hours. Just hit the start button and repeat the
sequence back to Isaac by tapping each piece as Isaac did. You can choose to work with
from 2 to 10 pieces. You can also choose to finish at 8, 20, 30 or more levels (of course
if you mess up, the games over!). Fun Newton game.

Motile Demo - From the creators of "Columbo's Mystery Capers"
and "Dell Crosswords & Other Word Games" comes the first action-strategy
game for the Newton -- Motile! The Motile demo has complete on-line help, and four sample
levels to give you an idea of what the game is like. For each maze, Moe has a set time
limit to reach the goal. The clock does not start until the first wall is placed or
removed. Once you think you've found the solution, release Moe, and hope he makes it to
the star. The actual game contains over 100 levels on a 1 MB PC-MCIA card, and will give
you many, many hours of fun. Before you try some levels, we suggest you tap the Quick
Start Info button first.
