I have just decided to try out this American idea to give away this game for
FREE,only to accept donations from satisfied users. Well I hope this pays off
because I have a lot more ideas that I would like to give to you only if this
"Guinea Pig " game gathers some donations from the public.
Programmers Note : The turbo pascal souce code is avaiable for £14.95.
PC Pontoon is a memory resident game of pontoon for the IBM PC and compatibles.
The game is based on the original clasic PONTOON or BLACK JACK which ever you
want to call it.
PC Pontoon can run in the background with all the applications that I have
tried so far. This means that if your in a word processor, Spreadsheet, or
database then when the boss leaves you can pop up the game and have a good
time and when he or she returns you can return to the application that you
called PC Pontoon from.
To activate PC Pontoon press ALT-F1.
When playing PC Pontoon and you decide to exit press F1.
To return to PC Pontoon press ALT-F1. To continue old game press 'Y'
and to start a new game press 'N'.
The object of the game is to get 21 or less . PC Pontoon is for one player
only.
Some rules about the game.
1. If the user and the computer get the same value then the computer wins
that game.
2. Pontoon beats any other hands.
3. A five card trick beats all other hands except for pontoon.
4. If both players go over 21 ( bust ) then they get there money back
which they bet.
5. You must send me a donation.
PC Pontoon can be set up with your regular bet, and the range in which you are
allowed to bet from. The ammount of money that will be allocated can be set at
the start of each game. The display can be set up for your particular monitor
and the sound can be set in case your having a sneaky game of PC Pontoon.
Well have fun folks .
Signed Geoff.
P.S. Please Don't forget to donate because we are all in poverty over in
IRELAND. ( The next famine is on its way and my thatched roof needs
replaced. )
**** Note ****
Their is a cheat mode in PC Pontoon, but can you find it?
* Goodluck *
