 
CARD & DICE
Part 1 of 3
Abduce - Abduce is an addicting Newton dice game.
First, Tap Roll. Then choose what to work with (ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes,
three odd, three even, FullHouse or Break). If you choose twos, five twos will pop up, and
the score will be 10. If you rolled any twos, click on the twos in the row, and your score
will decrease. I think you're going for the lowest score possible. With each roll, you get
to pick twice. You should pick whatever you have rolled the highest number of!
Aces 1.1 - Aces is probably the simplest solitaire game I know of, which
is why I chose it to learn Newton programming, using my husband as a teacher. Obviously,
my husband being the creator of Solo Deluxe, it was easier for me to use a card game as my
first application. The goal in Aces is quite simple. You deal 4 cards and remove all the
lowest cards of the same suite by tapping on them. Aces have the highest value and are the
only cards which may be played in an empty column. You must end up with only aces on top,
and all cards must be played. Itıs even better, but quite difficult, to end up with only
the four aces and no other cards underneath.
Backgammon 2.0 - This software is for Newton 2.0
Newtons ONLY. To use Backgammon on a Newton 100, 110, 120/1.3, or Original MessagePad,
please download version 1.2 of Backgammon. Backgammon for the Newton plays exactly as the
board game. Backgammon can be played agains a friend or against the Newton, or you can
watch the Newton play itself.

CrazyDice 1.1 - Crazy Dice is a Newton based luck
& strategy game for multiple players. The game is fun for the entire family & the
game concepts are relatively simple. Install CrazyDice on your Newton. Run CrazyDice from
your Extras drawer. CrazyDice requires 90k of free Newton memory to install. CrazyDice
should run on any Newton model (tested on a 120 with NewtOS 2.0).
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.
Mahjongg 1.6 - The goal of the game is to remove
all of the tiles. You can only remove tiles that match each other - both number and
design. In addition the plant/flower tiles and the season tiles all match each other. To
remove a pair of tiles, tap on them. If they match, they will disappear, else the newton
will ping at you. Here's the trick - you can only tap on tiles that you can slide out to
the left or right, and that are not underneath another. Think about the real game, (played
with physical tiles) you have to be able to remove the piece without disturbing any
others.
Mahjongg 2.1 Solitaire for the Newton: The goal
of this game is to remove all of the tiles. You can only remove tiles that match each
other - both number and design. Here's the trick - you can only tap on tiles that you can
slide out to the left or right, and that are not underneath another. That's it. In some
ways, it's more of a soothing (?) exercise in meditation than a game. This new, greyscale
version of Mahjongg for MP2000s and eMate 300s takes advantage of the bigger screen and
greyscale. In addition, the new version has an elapsed time indicator, the ability to keep
and view stats on games played, automatic saving of game when you quit, better sounds and
a much more worthwhile "win" screen. Credit: Scrawl Software.
Newt21 v1.0 - After releasing a serious package like NewtCase, we
figured it was time for a little fun. Newt21 brings the blackjack table to your Newton. Go
up against the dealer one-on-one or have up to two computer players join in. Installation
Notes - Nothing special here. Just install it. Unlike our utilities, Newt21 doesnıt patch
anything. Iım going to assume that you know the basics of Blackjack (try to get close to
21 without going over) but the docs cover some of the details specific to Newt21, and to
game play.
