- What is the definition of bebung? Could be "an Indian dessert made with
- custard and honey." Then again it might be "an alchemist's distillation
- apparatus." Wrong again, it's "a sustained musical note having a
- pulsating effect. " Sounds like fiction, but it's actually FICTIONARY,
- a game of strange and unusual words designed by Steve Estvanik.
-
- FICTIONARY can be played in two ways - either in a group where you try
- to fool each other into choosing the incorrect definition, or
- individually, where the game becomes a vocabulary guessing game.
- Playing with a group brings out the best playability in this program.
- You receive points for either selecting the correct definition or by
- having someone select your definition. You decide the final number of
- points needed to finish a game.
-
- Easy-to-use menus make playing FICTIONARY a breeze. Load
- FICTIONARY on any IBM or compatible and the fun begins. Having a
- pencil and a piece of paper around may also come in handy.
- During each round of play, the word-giver sees the actual
- definition, then enters a paraphrase. The others see only the word and
- make up their own definitions. All players then vote for the
- definition they think is correct. If this appears similar to the board
- game Haberdash, it is, plus you now have the assistance of the
- computer.
-
- A great party game, FICTIONARY will test both your intelligence and
- creativity. Adults will appreciate the difficulty, though children may
- find the words too difficult to enjoy. Nonetheless, hours of fun await
- those who dare to take the challenge.
- Program Title: ATC - Air Traffic Controller

-
- AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, simulating the duties of a sector air traffic
- controller, is a game that's perfect for a few minutes or hours of fun!
- Easy to learn, but difficult to master, this game tracks best scores at
- each of 20 levels of difficulty.
-
- You must guide about 20 planes safely through your sector, symbolized
- as a 13 by 13 grid. Two airports are shown, as are six "fixes" which
- are the only safe exits and entries to adjacent sectors. Take off,
- change altitudes, land -- each plane is shown as a letter with arrows
- that show current direction. Use the whole keyboard with this game
- (...if you're moonlighting as an atc, F10 allows quick escape when your
- real boss shows up!).
