BOXEM - V1.1
(c) Copyright 1994 - All Rights Reserved
by
Flat Rabbit Software (TM)
P.O. Box 58115
Webster, TX 77598
====DESCRIPTION:
BOXEM is board game suitable for both children and adults. BOXEM has high
fidelity pictures (256 colors) and sounds (22,000 Hz *.WAV format) to make
the playing experience more enjoyable. Each picture has a description with
interesting facts. Most people usually play the game a few times for the
challenge; then, they play the game to see all the pictures, listen to all
the sounds, and read all the keenly accurate descriptions. BOXEM also allows
the user to add their own pictures, sounds, and keenly accurate
descriptions to the game.
BOXEM is a simple game of logic similar to "pen-the-pig" or "squares". The
object of the game is to build more boxes (squares) on the game grid than
your opponent. Each box is formed one side at a time by connecting two grid
points. A player scores a point when their move creates a four sided box.
When a complete box is made, the box is "removed" to show a portion of a
picture which lies under the BOXEM playing board. When all the boxes are
made, the complete picture becomes visible, a sound related to the picture
is played (either through a sound board or the PC speaker) and a brief
description of the picture appears.
