Motor City's Thinker is a fun, simple game which challenges you to
achieve the highest monthly score possible. This game is similar to the
game of "Concentration" as seen on television.
The object of the game is to be the highest scoring player at the end
of the month. This is accomplished by matching pairs of cards on a
4 X 13-card grid.
You will start with 0 points at the beginning of each month. When you
enter the game, the game board is drawn on your screen. The game board
consists of header information, and a 4 X 13 grid which holds 52 playing
cards.
To begin a game, select <P>lay. A 52-card deck is then shuffled and
dealt. You will also notice some information in the upper-right corner
of your screen, such as Maximum Misses and your Miss Count.
The object of game play is to select pairs of matching cards until the
game board is cleared. Once selected, each card is turned face-up. If the
two cards you select match, you gain 100 points and the cards are cleared
from the board. If you manage to clear the entire board, you will be
awarded a bonus of 5,000 points.
To select cards, make sure that your NUM LOCK is turned on. Then, using
the numeric keypad, move the cursor left, right, up or down until the
cursor is directly above the card you wish to select. Then press <ENTER>
to select that card.
Each time you select two cards that do NOT match, your Miss Count is
incremented by 1. You may accumulate a maximum of 5 consecutive misses
before the game is ended. Each time you select a matching pair of cards,
your Miss Count is reset to 0.
At the end of each month, play is ended and the top-three scorers for the
month are displayed to players during the following month. The player
file is removed and the game starts over.
