- HangMister is a version of the age old favourite, HangMan. I'm sure many
- will have played hangman on lots of various journeys and also through
- out your childhood or are still playing it, thats if your still in your
- childhood, see?

- The idea of HangMister is exactly the same as hangman. In this case the
- computer puts down a certain amount of '_' to coincide with the number
- of letters in that certain word or group of words and you have to guess
- each letter. If you guess the letter correctly then the letter is placed
- over the '_' where that letter exists in the word. If you are wrong
- and the letter does not exist then a piece is added to the picture which
- will in the end make up a hanging man, meaning gameover.
- {p} {p}
- You get 10 chances if you got all the letters wrong but you could have
- many more each time you guess a correct letter. If you guess correctly
- then no piece is added to the hanging man. If on the other hand you
- guess wrong then as said above the picture will be built up for each
- wrong guess until finally there is a whole picture and its gameover for
- you.
- {p} {p}
- If you guess the whole word correctly then you will be given a different
- word. HangMister has the novel feature of grouping the different words
- to give you more of a chance. These so far are Bands, Cartoons and
- Films but can be added to with your own text file.

- Basically this game is hangman, i'm sure you've played it and i'm sure
- you've seen many computer versions. The feature I liked most about
- HangMister is that as you guess the wrong letters a little animation
- shows the actual drawing of the lines and they don't just appear like
- in other games which gives the feeling of someone drawing. This game
- unfortunately is only for lonely people as there is no two player option.
- {p} {p}
- I guess this game will save many trees by the paper you aren't wasting
- but the big question is do we need another hangman game?
