Announcement letter:  281-127  THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER IS ENHANCED


From the announcement:

       Arithmetic Games Set 2 consists of two educational games:
DISCOVERY MACHINE and NUMBER CHASE.
       DISCOVERY MACHINE can be played by one or two players. It is
a number dicovering game where the computer generates an input
number which is displayed on the screen; it then generates an
output number which is derived from one of six special rules. The
computer then generates another input number and the player tries
to discover what the resulting output number will be.
       NUMBER CHASE can be played by one or two players. The object
of the game is to guess correctly a secret number the computer has
chosen. The computer gives clues about the secret number based upon
a player's response.

       Arithmetic Games Set 2 consists of two educational games:
DISCOVERY MACHINE and NUMBER CHASE.
       DISCOVERY MACHINE can be played by one or two players. It is
a number discovering game in which the computer generates an input
number and displays it on the screen. The computer then generates
an output number, which is derived from one of six special rules.
It then generates another input number, and the player trys to
discover what the resulting output number will be. In one game, the
rule being used by the computer may be: multiply the input number
by 3, then add 2. If the player can guess the output number
correctly three times in succession, then the player wins. When two
play, each tries to discover a different rule.
       NUMBER CHASE can be played by one or two players. The object
of the game is to guess correctly a secret number the computer has
chosen. The computer gives clues about the number based upon a
player's response. For example, the computer indicates how many
digits of the player's response are in the correct place, how many
are correct but not in the correct place, and the sum (or product)
of the digits not guessed.
       In the one-player version of NUMBER CHASE, the player
chooses a number for the computer to guess, then both the player
and the computer try to guess each other's secret number. In the
two-player game, each player is assigned a unique secret number to
be guessed. At the beginning of each game, a player can set the
number of tries allowed (up to 15). The computer will allow a
player to ask for hints, beginning with the fourth turn.
       Prerequisites: Arithmetic Games Set 2 is designed to operate
on the IBM Personal Computer with at least 64KB of memory, one
diskette drive, and an IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter with a
customer-supplied video monitor or a television set with an RF
modulator. The IBM Personal Computer DOS is also required.
       Note: The IBM Monochrome Display is not supported.
       Packaging: Arithmetic Games Set 2 is distributed with one
program diskette and an instruction card.
       Note: Backup copies of the program diskette may not be made.
