Newtopoly is a familiar real estate trading game
for the Newton! Newtopoly is a graphically rich game that allows you to test your skills
as a real estate manager and industrialist. The game can be played by up to 8 human or
Newton-controlled players. Players can trade money or properties between themselves and
can also participate in auctions, build houses and hotels, mortgage properties and much
more! Newtopoly was designed to support alternate graphics and sound sets. The set that
ships with this initial release is the Silicon Valley set. Other sets will be available in
the future. The game uses grayscale graphics in both portrait and landscape modes for
machines that support these features. This is a 9 day demo. Credit: Bernie

Newt Tac Toe 1.1 - is a 3D Tic Tac Toe game where
you pit your wits against your Newton on 4x4x4 grid. Fun and simple to play, just like tic
tac toe...but watch out...your Newton can make a challenging oponent! Just get 4 in a
row--in any direction-- horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Use your favorite package
installer and it's easy as can be -- download Newt Tac Toe to your newton and look for it
in your extras drawer. Newt Tac Toe v1.1 will take up about 27K of space once installed.
This version runs with System 2.0 only, MessagePad 120 or 130.
OFN 1.00 - Othello for Newton is an electronic
implementation of the game of Othello for the Newton environment. It can play against you
with varying degrees of skill by utilizing standard Artifical Intelligence game-playing
techniques, or you can play against a human friend. Game is played on a 8 by 8 grid. A
running score is kept, as well as the time each player takes to make a move. Very well
done game! Shareware.
PeggySu 1.0 - This is a puzzle program for the
Newton. On the screen is a board with one black peg and many grey pegs. Object of the game
is to move the black peg to the center hole by jumping over (and eliminating) other pegs.
The less pegs you have at the end of a game, the better your score gets. If you like this
game, please try our "Little Peking," "Reptile,"Knight in
Minefield," "Litton," and "YinYang." They also are freeware for
the Newton. This program was tested on the MP-120 with Newton OS 1.3. AMUG tested it on a
130 with 2.0. The program takes up about 28KB of memory and consumes about 10KB of heap.
PocketBackgammon 2.2 - brings the well known
board-game on a professional level to your Newton. You may play human vs. human or against
your Newton as computer opponent. The manual and the rules are included in the program
under the [ i ] - button. If you are new to Backgammon you may read the rules section on
your Newton and look at a newt vs. newt game first. PocketBackgammon is Shareware. It is
provided as is. You may try PocketBackgammon for one Week after that the Sharewarefee is
40 US$ for the full version as you have tried. If this is too much for you, there is a
lite version for only 25 US$. The lite version is limited to intermediate as maximum
computer level and contains no statistic and no pip count (You get a password that switch
off these features).
RepTile 1.0 - This is a puzzle program for the
Newton. It's another jump-over-the- peg-till-you-are-left-with-only-one-peg type of game
with a few little twists. This game provides 10 skill levels to play at. If you like this
game, please try our "Little Peking v1.2," another puzzle game for the Newton,
and it's free.
Stacks 1.0 - is a strategy game. You need to
"jump" tiles on a board in order to remove them. However, if you jump one tile
on top of another, they combine into a more difficult tile to remove. This is very similar
to the game Tesserae. I did this game just to prove to people that you could have a quick
and responsive game entirely in scripting. If you use it, please feed the programmer: send
him email at scott@jenson.org Don't worry, bugs and comments accepted equally.
TicTacToe 0.3 - A simple Tic-Tac-Toe program.
I've discovered that young kids really like the Newton, but there isn't much for them to
do on it. This app is just for fun, and uses some visual and sound effects to spice things
up. Play Human vs. Newt, Human vs. Dumb Newt or Human vs. Human, also choose how to erase
the board - with smoke, or trash.
Yatzy 3.5 - is a dice game, the object being to
score maximum points by filling in all scoring categories with dicerolls. Features One to
four players with two types of games. Standard, Forced, Statistics, Average score, Number
of Yatzys etc. Has separate ranklists for each type of game. Version 3.5 requires Newton
OS 2.x.
YAZI 1.0 - is a text adventure engine which takes
datafiles as input and allows you to play them on the Newton. Strictly speaking, YAZI
doesn't do anything on it's own; it requires a games datafile to run. The datafile
contains all of the information about specific games. For technoweenies: datafiles were
implemented as programs for a virtual machine - the zmachine. By creating the zmachine for
the Newton, all these games can be played.
Yahtzee - This is the game of yahtzee for the
newton, for one to four players. Very straight forward, with on-newton docs. Just roll
those dice, and play away.
Yatzy 3.03 - is a dice game, the object being to
score maximum points by filling in all scoring categories with dicerolls. Features One to
four players with two types of games. Standard, Forced, Statistics, Average score, Number
of Yatzys etc. Has separate ranklists for each type of game. Version 3.03 requires Newton
OS 1.x.
