- What makes Jigsaws Galore the best?
- ===================================
-
- 1. Powerful! Play and create jigsaws from 4 to 4,000 pieces.
-
- 2. Easy! Even a complete novice can start solving jigsaws immediately.
- The jigsaw preview screen makes finding your favorite jigsaw a snap
- and even lets you change the number of pieces in the jigsaw.
-
- 3. Full-featured! Automatically arrange pieces around the outside of
- the board to leave room to solve the puzzle. Other programs make
- you scroll the screen to find a piece. You can never lose a
- piece "off screen" with this program! We take away the drudgery
- by sorting pieces by shape or color, as you wish. Change the
- size of pieces on the fly. Now you can fit all of the pieces on
- the board all of the time. And it's so easy to create new
- jigsaws! Of course there's flying hints, context sensitive
- help, toolbars, status bar, sound and music, as you'd expect.
-
- 4. Fun! The jigsaws look (and sound) great. Just like real ones.
- Sneaky cheat modes let you flash the piece you're looking for, or
- fetch it, or turn pieces the right way up. You can even watch
- the jigsaw solve itself.
-
-
-
- About the program:
- ==================
-
- The program requires Windows 95/98/NT or later and the evaluation
- version takes around 4MB of disk space when installed. Please
- see the game's ordering information for details of how to order a
- full version and extra jigsaws, including CD-ROM version with 172
- jigsaws and bonus games.
