Look best in colour but all OK in mono (Hercules) too (some will need a CGA emulator,please ask). TOYBOX (93) S.SCHUSTACK - nice collection of "toys" for all ages - play various pianos (playback your compositions), draw with mouse or keys, or even travel to another universe (we don't recommend this if you're subject to headaches!). 90K. 5-ADULT; $19 (extras); ANY MONITOR. **** CLASSIC COWS (93) E.TILENIUS - this is a fascinating text file (we provide a viewer) with over 100 cows drawn using only text based characters - some are really quite hilarious! 80K; 6+; PD. ABY MONITOR. **** CAR MAKER v2.0 (89) OPTIMUM - although only CGA graphics ( mono OK with an emulator) this is quite complex. Design, and save, cars.

Save the best ones. 11K; FW; ANY MONITOR (best in colour). *** FORTUNE v3.0 (93) J.HANSON - particulary useless program that will make decisions for you!
