You've probably played Hangman on paper. It's the game where
you guess the letters in a mystery word or phrase and every
wrong letter results in the drawing of a man's body part. You
know you've lost when your man is completly drawn and hung.
You start by picking a word list from one of 9 topics, ranging from Oscar winning movies to mythological beasts or All the Caesars of Rome to All the Presidents of the United States. Next you decide if you want to play the entire list or just until you get one word or phrase wrong. Now guess away! If you're right, you hear a comforting sound and see the letter appear in the phrase. If you're wrong...you hear a very disturbing sound and see another part of your man's torso appear. Keep going until your man is freed or meets an untimely demise. Solve enough words and you may make the high score list. As a final bonus, you can easily make your own word lists! Just enter the category name, then all the words you want and save it as an ASCII text file (.TXT) in the directory of the game. So you can make a game that will quiz your children on their spelling list, or topics that you find interesting. |
