It's a simple but yet a bit difficult HyperCard game. The goal is to put three markers in one line and... well, you know the rules. The real goal is to beat the computer, however. I could have made him a bit smarter (I promise!), but that's not so fun. After playing for a while you'll probably find a winning system to beat him..
Requirements? Price?
It requires HyperCard. I haven't tested it under earlier versions than 2.2, but it should work in 1.2 and higher. It's shareware $20, if you keep it for more than 10 days... no, just kidding. Would you have paid something for a simple game like this anyway? (If then, you can still do it :). Trampchess is and will be free. But, there is two limitations. 1) If you like it, or if you don't, you must send me an email and tell me! Otherwise, I won't be responsible for the consequences... 2) You may not use any password breaking tool or similar to modify the stack. It's not public domain, and all damn copyrights belongs to the author (=me). I guess you already know all that stuff...
Why?
I had nothing to do, honestly... So I made something which I named "Luffarschack". I didn't knowed the English word for this old game, so I maked a very simple translation. I still don't know if "Trampchess" is the proper word for it, but I won't change it anyway... If it's wrong, I'd be glad to know the right one.

Thanks to...
After spending a few hours in front of the Mac this evening, I'd specially send my greatings to... All my relatives and friends, of course. Muddy, Buddy and Diddley for making such as great music... The people of Italia for the great innovation of Pizza. The people at Apple for the great innovation of Macintosh. Veronica Bick-Larson for learning me how to make rabarbersaft (and more...) And the rest of the world.
