Why register?
HANGMAN Registration advantages:
1. In the unregistered version, the player's score is reset
to 0 each time they enter the door.
The registered version saves the player's score and
resumes the game with their last score.
2. In the unregistered version, the high score can hold 10
entries. One player can occupy all 10 places.
The registered version saves only the players highest
score in the top 10.
3. The unregistered version allows a player to play as many
times as they want with ten turns each time they enter the
door.
The registered version will allow a user to play only once
per day. The sysop can set the number of turns per day.
4. The unregistered version uses only 35 different words from
the dictionary. Words therefore can be repeated frequently.
The registered version uses all the words from the dictionary.
This prevents the words being reused frequently.
5. The words used by unresigerted HangMan all have one of two
clues: Action or Adjective.
The registered version has more variety in the clues.
6. Reistration will erase all UNREGISTERED notices.
7. ** Registration is only $10. **
