 
WORD & NUMBER GAMES
Part 3 of 3
NewtLibs 1.1 should be a very familiar word game
-- only now it's on your Newton! NewtLibs is a great game to play with friends, and
you can even trade your own 'Libs with other Newton users. NewtLibs 1.1 will read your
NewtLib to you if MacinTalk and SpeakText are installed. Credit: Bernie Bernstone.
PicoFermiBagels 1.3 - PicoFermiBagels is an
Newton game which is similar in concept and strategy to MasterMind and Jotto. For each
guess, you will see one or more of - Fermi-a correct digit placed correctly; Pico-a
correct digit placed incorrectly; or Bagels-no digits are correct. Winning is indicated by
"Fermi" for all digits, and an audible sound. Unlike MasterMind, PicoFermiBagels
does not allow duplicate digits. You can choose to work with 2 to 5 digits, and whether or
not to include zero. Good number practice recognition for the Newton! 1.3 (1/1/96) - NOS
2.0 compatible, created with Newt Development Environment, includes Newt source.
Scrambled 1.0 - Scrambled is a word game in which
you are given a scrambled word to decipher. You may choose the word length (up to 12
characters). Scrambled keeps score for the competitively inclined. Both your average time
and your point score are tallied. Scrambled is great for students! It really puts your
brain through a workout. Scrambled exercises your verbal, spelling, and pattern
recognition skills. Scrambled words are used on Mensa tests. If you're polishing up to go
let the world know what a genius you are Scrambled is the thing to use. For the Newton.
WordGrid 2.0f1 - WordGrid is a game to find words
contained in a puzzle grid. To find a word, draw a single line on the grid connecting the
letters that make up the word. The line does not have to be straight (it can zig-zag and
cross) but must be made in a single stroke; you cannot lift the pen until you have
connected all the letters. There are two sets of puzzles. "Directed search"
puzzles, prompt you to find a word and "Free search", where you have to find all
of the words contained in a grid on your own. The free search game is a much more
interesting version of the game but can be difficult for WordGrid beginners. Directed
search (the default game) gives you words to find in a grid and you find them by drawing a
line over those letters in the grid.
WordWar 1.2 is a freeware multiplayer Scrabble
type word strategy game. Freeware! Credit: Herb Otto.
A return to the text adventure games of the 80's!
YAZI (Yet Another Z Interpreter) is a text adventure engine which takes
datafiles as input and allows you to play them on the Newton. This allows you to play many
of the cool games of the early 1980's on your Newton: Zork, Planetfall, Enchanter and
more! Especially cool is playing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! Included is a demo
version of ZORK, already pkged to get you started. (Versions for NOS1.x and 2.x
included.) Credit: Scrawl Software.
Zachery's Wheel 1.1 - Zachery's Wheel is a very
cool letter and word guessing game!! Zachary's Wheel is a game I started writing quite a
while ago. It is dedicated to my son Zachary, whom I love more than anything in the
universe, (my wife's a close second). Anyway, the game has been sitting in various levels
of development since Zachary was born almost two years ago! I've decided to justify my
continued development of newton software, and to do so involves making money, so I am
releasing this as shareware. I would like to add many improvments to this game, and write
many others that I have in mind. Unforuntately, to do so means that people will need to
send in the shareware fee to prove that it's worth it!
