Hang-Man enters 2000 Space-Time Associates have released a fun Macintosh shareware game called Hang2000. Hang2000 is a new take on the classic hangman word guessing game we all played when we were kids. It features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, synthesized speech, dozens of built-in word categories, thousands of words, unlimited lists of your own words, and much more. Hang2000 is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you can't help learning. Included in Hang2000 is a new "knowledge area". This area will include information associated with the guessed word or phrase. If the word chosen is from the States or Countries category, for example, the knowledge area will show the capital of the State or Country. If the category is Authors or Composers, the knowledge area will show facts about, or famous works of, the author or composer. Of course, you can also make your own lists (unlimited in number) and include your own associated information. There are dozens of categories, guaranteed to include something for everyone. From Monsters and Dinosaurs to Star Trek and Television Shows, from Animals and Birds to Colors and Cities, from Fruits and Vegetables to Presidents and Vice-Presidents, from Rock and Roll to Opera and Musical Instruments. And literally dozens more! This new version (v1.3) adds a host of new digitized sounds, as well as a new "change case button" that allows you to switch the large alphabetical icons between lower case and upper case. This truly allows the program to be enjoyed by users of all ages...K-12 and beyond. Hang2000 requires a Macintosh that supports 256 colors or more, and is available now. http://www.winograd.com Sent in by: Ken Winograd Home, school, Kids, family, games, cooking, learning, education, K-12 - (3/17/99) Back to the Topic Index
