PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
ONE LINER:
Challenging puzzles with great EGA graphics and a space flavour
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Move your "POD" around a network of coloured tracks to remove them, but
avoid falling off. Harder than it sounds! A challenging puzzle game,
featuring great EGA graphics, with a distinctive space flavour.
MEDIUM DESCRIPTION:
This puzzle game for EGA systems stands out by having a high level of
graphics and can be operated on a variety of computer speeds (from XT to
486). The puzzles are challenging enough for the most dedicated mind-
bender, yet the concept is simple enough to explain to children. 20
levels come with the shareware program, with another 60 waiting for the
registered users (who will also receive a bonus level designer). Other
features include online help, and a demo mode.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
POD works on any PC compatible with EGA graphics and 256K of memory. The
idea of the game is simple: move your "POD" around the network of coloured
tracks to remove them without falling off. Different colours require
multiple passes, which makes life that more interesting, and other pieces
do even more interesting things! Like throwing you halfway across the
board, for instance! Using the cursor keys the game is easy to play, yet
the levels can be very challenging for even the most dedicated puzzle
freaks. Children will find the colours amusing, and the simplicity of
the game will enable them to play it almost immediately. The game comes
with online help, as well as a demo mode which goes through the basics of
the game while you watch. 20 levels are issued with the shareware
version, while registered users will enjoy a further 60 levels, plus a
utility that enables them to create their own POD levels. This utility
can be fully mouse or keyboard driven, and also comes with online help.
KEY WORDS:
