This is a skill game, well programmed, involving categorized names. The author presents the software to prospective entrants of a contest he is conducting. The user may simply play the game or enter the author's contest, for which there is an entry fee. While JUMPDISK is making the disk available, it is not connected in any way with the endeavor. Also see Fish listings below. 3]OTHER CATEGORIES -- Air Warrior (415), a playable, distributable version of the air combat game which is more fun and more addicting in its natural environment, on GEnie©, where multiple players compete against each other in real time through their modems. -- WALKER II - 416 and 417. A two-disk set. -- SIM CITY DEMO - 418. One meg required for this demo of the popular city construction game. -- AQUARIUM - 419. Excellent catalogue, by topic, program type, etc., of the Fish collection. Updated through latest Fish disk we possess -- generally the latest anyone has. Consider this an adjunct to the PDLIST disks, which include cataloging by disk number. This on-disk system, can be updated by the user as new disks appear. 3]AND NOW FOR THE REAL ARTICLE JUMPDISK offers PD/SHAREWARE disks for $3.00 each. You may send an order by mail and pay by check.
