 
PUZZLES
Part 1 of 4
Blocks 1.1 - Here's a game puzzle where you try to fix the shapes into a
box. There are over 700 possible combinations for fitting the pieces in the box. To move a
piece, simply drag it into place. To rotate or flip a piece, drag it over one of the icons
at the top, it will be updated as you are dragging it. If you need to do the same
operation twice, you need to drag the piece over the icon, move away from it and drag it
over the icon again. You can do this very quickly and move back to the game board right
away.
Flip 1.0 - Flip is tapping game for the Newton from Alpine Software.
Change the entire puzzle surface to the same color by tapping on the different shapes that
make up the puzzle. Each puzzle is made of several of the same polygons - squares,
triangles, or hexagons. After you tap a shape, one or more of the shapes in the puzzle
will change color. To learn how each shape changes, pick the "Learn" button. The
puzzle will clear to white. Then pick one of the shapes. All the shapes that change when
that one is picked will invert for about 2 seconds. To return to the puzzle, pick the
"Learn" button again and choose "Play" from the list.
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.
The thinking person's engaging new game of
strategy and imagination. You've never played anything like it! The field is a 5 x 5 grid.
Your forces are encoded tiles, dealt five at a time. Your challenge is to use logic,
strategy, and luck to seize territory and vanquish your equally wily opponent. But beware,
there could be a sudden reversal of fortune! Credit: Dubl-Click Software Corporation.
Jig! Unboxed - The thinking person's computer
game. In Jig, you and your Newton (or another player) take turns placing tiles, which must
fit as if in a jigsaw puzzle. When you match symbols, you capture the other player's
tiles. The winner has the most captured tiles when the board is full. Jig Unboxed lets you
unlock Jig and turn it in to the commercial game, after calling/emailing and paying
DublClick for a serial number. Credit: Dubl-Click Software Corporation.
Jumble 1.02 - Jumble is a word search player. You
can generate as many unique puzzles you wish. Puzzle topics include: Animals, Cars,
Countries, Sports, Computer Languages, and Random. These puzzles can then be played on the
Newton, or printed out. A top 5 score list keeps track of the quickest time to words
solved games. Shareware, $10. This demo will expire after 30 days.
Knight 1.0 - This is a game program for the
Newton. It's another "Minefield" game with a few twists. The object is to reach
a goal by crossing a minefield, hopping like a Knight in chess game. If you like this
game, please try our "Little Peking" and "RepTile". They also are
freeware Newton games. This program was tested on the MP-120 with Newton OS 1.3. It should
work on other models with the same OS. It should work on the OS 2.0 as well.
