- 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, sound effects, and a demo mode.
-
- LONG DESCRIPTION:
-
- Move your "pod" around the network of coloured tracks to remove them, but
- avoid falling off or being left stranded. Different colours require
- multiple passes, which makes life that more interesting, and other pieces
- do even more interesting things like throwing you half way across the
- board! 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,
- sound effects, and 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. POD works on any IBM
- compatible with EGA graphics and 256KB of memory.
