Introduction
BRAINdead2 is a shareware offering that features two distinct games
in a single program - a hidden tile match game that tests memory
skills and a visible tile match game that pits the player against the
clock.
The game was originally written because there are so few PC games that
our five year old could play without help. Kids do really well with
this game. As for adults - the name says it all!
System Requirements
The only requirement is an EGA or VGA system with monitor capable of
640x350 graphics mode.
A mouse will speed game play substantially, though keyboard control is
also provided. Of course, a fast CPU makes any PC graphics application
run quicker.

Memory Game
Point with the mouse and click left button or move square with arrow

Select a second tile. If the two tiles match, they are removed from the
board. Tiles that do not match are turned back over. The time the tiles
are shown may be set from 1-5 seconds.
The object is to clear all of the tiles from the board with the fewest
number of tries.
When matching numbers a good score is around 50 tries for 100 tiles.
Matching letters generally requires a somewhat higher number of tries.
Timed Game
Point with the mouse and click left button or move square with arrow
keys and press Enter to select tile. Selected tiles are outlined in
yellow. Select a second tile. Matching tiles are removed from the board.
The time starts when first tile is picked. The timer pauses when the
mouse is moved from the game board or when menu is displayed.
The object is to clear all of the tiles from the board in the shortest
time.
Matching letters and numbers a good score is around 90-100 seconds.
For colors and simple numbers a score of 50 - 60 seconds can be
expected.
