  10. Puzzle people will be very happy with this one.  Imagine, if you will, a
  11. square made of 16 smaller squares, four to a side.  In each of these is 
  12. placed one of the first fifteen letters of the alphabet, leaving one    
  13. square empty.  You define how many times the computer will shuffle these
  14. letters.  Now, arrange them alphabetically while the computer counts you
  15. moves.  Sounds simple, doesn't it?

  27. TRIPLE OTHELLO is an interesting variation on the classic strategy board
  28. game.  Instead of playing one game against the computer, you play three 
  29. games at once.                                                          
  30.                                                                         
  31. The object of TRIPLE OTHELLO is to win more pieces than the computer.   
  32. Winning pieces is accomplished by "outflanking."  "Outflanking" means   
  33. you place your piece in such a way that you have your pieces on both    
  34. sides (right and left, or above and below) of the computer's piece or   
  35. pieces.  Whatever piece(s) you "outflank" become yours.                 
  36.                                                                         
  37. When the title screen is displayed, you are asked if you want to be x or
  38. o. Once you have entered your choice, the boards are drawn and you will 
  39. see a flashing cursor.  To play, you move the flashing cursor around the
  40. board (using the cursor keys).  When you are ready to play your piece,  
  41. type an "x" or an "o" (depending on what you chose at the title screen).
  42. Play moves from board to board automatically as you and the computer    
  43. make one move each.
