16 Marbles v1.0 (FAT) (16-marbles-10.hqx)

From: jkusv93@www.tufvan.hv.se
Subject: 16 Marbles v1.0 (FAT)

Here's another nice little board game. The object of the game is to
remove as many marbles as possible from the board. It's easy to learn
but hard to solve. This game is a shareware product.

16 Marbles v1.0 requires a Macintosh with about 1 Megabyte of free RAM
and System 7 or better. This game is a FAT binary, so it should work on
both PowerMacs and on some older Macs.

Do not distribute for profit or on CD-ROM without my permission.

Backstab 1.0
Copyright Adam Miller 1992

This is an excellent implementation of a board game commonly called Ataxx, an
interesting game which looks easy but is tricky to master. Backstab has color
graphics, animation in black & white and color, digitized sound, well documented
help, a large selection of computer opponents (from the very easy to a level
that IUve never beaten), a large selection of pre-made boards, option for human
vs. human play as well as computer vs. computer, and much more.

But what really makes this implementation unique is its flexible expandability.
With extreme ease people you can create new boards with Resedit or some such
tool, which is fun, but the real challenge is writing your own computer players.
This is fun, challenging, and easy to do in your favorite programming language.
Just build them as a code resource and copy them into the Backstab file. It
will automatically add them to the computer menu, and youUre ready to go.

Buzzword Bingo is a HyperCard stack that generates random Bingo cards from

I suppose this stack could be used to generate legitmate Bingo cards, but

I hope you enjoy it and if you find any problems with it or have
suggestions, please contact me by email at:

It should run on HyperCard 2.0 and later. This can be distributed on any

Carotto 1.0.4 Luc De Bois, (c) 1993 Tricky Soft

Carotto is a fully interactive board game for up to 5 human and/or mac pla-
yers. It simulates a car race : you draw the circuit with the mouse then race
on it.

You can select the number of players and their skill anytime you want during
the race, just clicking on the appropriate buttons. You want to play with a
friend ? Select 2 cars then start the game. Your friend ( a beginner ) is far
away behind you ? Let him play once again, or select one of the three mac pla-
yers skills to automatically play for him. Your friend gives up ? Race against
four mac players ( two beginners, one medium and one expert, that's a good
deal ! ). You want to play alone to improve your skill and get the best race in
one circuit lap ? Well... That's up to you ! Finally, the circuit is too easy
for you ? Draw another one ( or play with an old one that has been saved pre-
viously ) which figures a few more sharp turns and chicanes.

The race principle is simple : a speed vector is associated with your car. At
each race step you choose between ( in the most favourable case ) 4 possibili-
ties to increase or decrease your speed vector and your car moves to the new
position you've chosen : that's all ! You will accelerate in straight lines but
be wise to anticipate road bends : whether you slow down in time or not, you'll
take the race lead or crash into the circuit frame... You also need to antici-
pate your adversaries' movements in order to avoid crashing into them but also,
so as to obstruct their way and make them follow the wrong direction... That's
how things go in reality !

Carotto should work on every mac with system 7.0 or greater and a 256-colour
screen.

Carotto is a whatever-you-want-ware ( see Credits inside ) !

Enjoy !

CHESS SYSTEMS BY CHRISTIAAN FREELING (CONGO © DEMIAN FREELING).

Between 1976 and 1984 I was possessed with a spirit that cared
a great deal about abstract games of pure strategy. It died
eventually, of lack of ambition, and left me with a legacy of
some forty games. Ten of these are Chess systems.
All of them, Chad in particular, were played extensively at the
games club 'Fanatic' at the University of Twente in the Netherlands.
All of them, too, appear in David Pritchard's 'The Encyclopedia of
Chess Variants' (G&P Publications, P.O. Box 20, Godalming,
Surrey GU8 4YP, U.K. ; ISBN 0-9524142-0-1).
Grand Chess in particular is also featured in
R. Wayne Schmittberger's 'New Rules for Classic Games'
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York; ISBN 0-471-53621-0) and in
Games Magazine (January 1987).

This archive contains descriptions (with full colour diagrams) of
eleven Chess systems. They are:

Chad
HexChad
Sjakti
Caïssa
Chakra
Congo
Loonybird
Dragonfly
Yari Shogi
Rotary
Grand Chess

The one important game in this compilation is Grand Chess. Anyone
who wrote a good Chess program and has half a mind to modify it

Chinese Tiles by Predrag Stanojevic, 1995-1997

Chinese Tiles is a single-player game much like memory, you have to
match tiles and remove them. You might recognize the tiles from the old
chinese game Mah-Jongg.

There are many shareware versions of this game for various systems. I've
seen a couple of others for the mac as well.

When you start a new game 144 tiles are randomly placed. The object of
the game is to remove the tiles, one matching pair at the time until all
tiles are removed.

Subject: Chris' Puzzle 1.0 fat

Copyright 1994-95 by Chris W. Johnson, All Rights Reserved.
Shareware $12.

Chris' Puzzle transforms PICT and JPEG image files into electronic jigsaw
puzzles. The puzzles are based on a unique grid pattern, rather than the
traditional puzzle structure of square pieces embellished with hook & eye
joints. The unusual pieces to which that grid pattern gives rise make the
geometry of the puzzles richer, while adding to their overall complexity
and challenge. But since challenge is one thing and aggravation is another,
a few features of real puzzles have been omitted - pieces are never
rotated, flipped upside down, or still stuck together in little clumps when
they are dumped out on this virtual table. So all you have to do is find
the matching pieces and put 'em together.

Features:
* Fully functional jigsaw puzzle program. No crippled demo software here.
* PICT and JPEG image support.
* Internet hypertext puzzle annotation (see included puzzles for examples).
* Simple Internet Version Control protocol (SIVC) support.
* Adjustable puzzle complexity.
* Adjustable work space to puzzle size ratio.
* Borders can be added to images to assist in assembly.
* Sound effects.
* Cheat mode (registered users only).
* Convenient shareware fee payment (on-line, even) via Kagi shareware
registration service.
* Fat binary - runs at full speed on Macintoshes and Power Macintoshes alike.

Requirements:
* System 7.0 or better.
* Apple's Thread Manager extension (built into System 7.5 and all later
systems).
* 68020 CPU or better.

Recommended Items & Capabilities:
* Internet Config - makes all Internet-oriented features much happier.
* Monitor capable of displaying 256, Thousands or Millions of colors. The more
colors, the better.
* Espy Sans font (included with System 7.5).

Most Obvious Shortcoming:
* No "Save" feature yet - better be able to assemble those puzzles in one go.

Tic-Tac-Toe v1.0 is a brand new Tic-Tac-Toe style game featuring Stereo
Sound, 3D Graphics, Background Music, and an unbeatable Computer Player. CPU
vs. CPU is not yet implemented, but if there is enough interest, I'll put it
in. Tic-Tac-Toe is also FAT, so it will run native on both 68K and PowerPC
Macintoshes.

Tic-Tac-Toe requires 256 colors to run. However, looks much better in
thousands of colors.

The included MOD file is After-The-Rain, by an unknown author.
The Background Music can be changed with Player Pro (available on AOL in
MMS).

Tic-Tac-Toe is shareware. If you like it, please send $5 to:
Christopher Lee Chin
99 Gail Drive
New Rochelle, NY 10805

For $10, I'll send the source code with the latest version of Tic-Tac-Toe.
Including the unbeatable computer player algorithm.

Subject: Cube Strategy v2.3

The goal of the game is to complete more cubes than your opponent. The
game board is made up of a few to hundreds of potential cubes. Players
take turns setting surfaces in the vertical, horizontal, and in the
third dimension relative to the other two. If a player's surface
completes the six sides of a cube, its claimed by the player's mark in
the cube. Completing a cube also gives the player another turn.

You can play against a human opponent, or the computer.

Various adjustments can be made, such as zooming the board in or out,
changing the color identifying the player's moves, whether a
character, picture or pattern is used to claim a cube, maximum time
per move, et cetera.

Version 2.3
Corrects memory problem with screens set to more than 256 colors.

Subject: Double

"Double" was inspired by the old Chinese game called "Mah-jongg". Its
purpose is to be educational, Intellectually stimulating and fun for the
whole family.

The complete version of "Double" offers 21 board designs (tile configurations),
14 standard themes such as: mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) and Visual assimilation (Shapes, colors). Moreover, and this is one
of the important advantages of Double, you can easily create new themes for
Double and can exchange them with other players.

The demonstration version of Double permits you to play and complete only one
theme with only one tile configuration. The other themes and tile
configurations can all be used but the player is limited to only ten moves in
each case. It is the only imposed limit. All other possibilities and options
of the game may be explored at will.

Please let us know if you are interested in reviewing the DOUBLE software and

Ergo (an abstract action game) (ergo-10.hqx)

Download ergo-10.hqx (621,605 KB)

From: pleco@macconnect.com (Michael Love)
Subject: Ergo (an abstract action game)

Ergo is a game which combines strategy, memory, and plain old
guesswork to create an interesting mental challenge. It takes place on a
square board covered with tiles (4x4, 6x6, or 8x8). When you start a game
these tiles are randomly scattered in several different colors. Your goal
is to make all of these tiles the same color by clicking on them to
change their color. This sounds easy, but there's a twist: when you click
on a tile to change its color, other tiles also change. A game of Ergo
can take anywhere from a minute to several hours to complete, depending
on the difficulty level. Ergo also uses other features such as "skips" to
change tiles without flipping others, and the ability to save boards by
setting the random seed for board generation.

Ergo is a shareware game. This means that you are allowed to try it
out as long as you like in its "crippled" version, but if you decide to
keep it you are expected to pay for it and register. Registering costs
just $15 (handled by Kagi), and entitles you to this version of Ergo and
all future releases. When you register, you recieve a license code that
disables the annoying message you see when starting Ergo, and enables the
more advanced difficulty levels.

For more information on Ergo visit the Ergo web site at
http://www.macconnect.com/~pleco/ergo.spml (SPML is an HTML-like format
that any browser should be able to read without trouble).

System requirements: Any Mac, preferably a 68030 or better (PowerPC is
fine, not native because the extra speed isn't needed but runs fine
emulated), with a 256-color display at 512x384 or more. Also needs system
6.0.5 or later (7.0 preferred but not required).

Eternity: the battle of the elements

As the first rays of sun are cast across the horizon, the world wakes. Few
are aware of the magnificent battle that is to commence. For all Eternity
the battle for control of the world has raged on. Fire, air, earth and
water. The four elements wage war every day in a never-ending quest to rule
the world. Every morning each elements tokens appear in an empty region of
space called the "void," bereft of any life but full of potential glory.
Each pawns mission? Recover and return an elemental token to its base. A
simple task? Hardly. A mission that only the bravest and strongest pawns can
possibly carry out. A mission that will likely result in humiliating and
painful defeat before glory and power. Should a pawn recover a token, its
adventure has only begun. The return to base is wrought with peril, as the
other elements will do anything in their power to end its mission
prematurely.
If, against all odds, an element recovers all of its tokens, it will
rule for the day. Free to carry out its will on the world, the other
elements will be powerless. Of course, tomorrow's battle and a chance at
revenge are only a day away...

Eternity is a unique board game in which one to four players can play as
either fire, air, earth, or water and battle for control of the world. Play
against any of three computer skill levels, or against other human players.

Eternity is distributed as shareware with a $15 registration fee.

Flippant is yet another board game in which your movements turn your
opponent(s)' pieces to your color. Moving to an adjacent square (distance
of one) duplicates your piece and converts all adjacent pieces. Moving two
squares has the same effect, without duplicating the moved piece.

Flippant is wildly affordable shareware ($5), cheaper than lunch.

Genius is a Macintosh rendition of the popular game where you try to
remove all the pegs from a triangular board by jumping pegs.

The object of the game is to get rid of all of the pegs on the board
except one by jumping over adjacent pegs to remove them.

To jump a peg, simply click on any peg on the board and drag it to
its destination hole. If it can go into that hole, the peg that it will
remove will be over-shadowed.

GnuGo program developed by the Free Software Foundation (see
www.gnu.org/software/gnugo/ for more information), or the Mac way, which
offers a GUI interface to play go against your Mac using the GnuGo engine.

MacGnuGo 0.5 (the Mac way) offers 10 levels to the GnuGo engine, fancy
board patterns and stones, and atari, capture, pass, and stone click
sounds. You can watch moyo and your dragon status change in real time, as
you move. You can play against GnuGo, yourself, watch GnuGo play itself,
get hints, and get your current score .

MacGnuGo 0.5 is freeware, and is free code. The source code is included.
GnuGo 2.6, the engine, is free code as well. See

Please, find attached GNU Shogi 1.1E for the Macintosh (based on UNIX
version 1.1 patch level 02).

GNU Shogi plays Shogi, the Japanese equivalent of Chess. The main
differences between Shogi and Chess are: 1) captured pieces can be dropped
again by the captor, and 2) almost all pieces can promote. This makes for a
very aggressive game, which (contrary to western chess) gets more
interesting and complicated towards the end.

Requirements: Macintosh with 68020 or better. System 6.0.7 or later. 600 KB
disk space. GNU Shogi itself needs 1.2 MB RAM. The program comes with a
rules document, a set of openings, etc. GNU SHOGI is written by Matthias
Mutz. Kazuhiko Seki added a Mac graphical user interface.

It contains a new set of pieces that are marked with their
English names, so you can learn the strategy of Shogi instead
of learning to recognize the pieces.

and (a copy of) the Gnu Shogi application in ResEdit and copy

If anyone wants to make a simpler patch out of this (like an
application that you can just double-click and go, instead of
having to use ResEdit), please do so.

Filename: Indovina_1.0_Installer.hqx
Size: 2.7MB
Type: shareware
Category: games
Subcategory: board/table

Indovina is inspired by the famous board game called Guess Who?(tm).
You will be prompted with 24 faces among which your Mac will randomly
select one for itself and one for you. The aim of the game is to guess the
opponent's face before it guesses yours. You can play either versus your Mac
or versus a friend on an AppleTalk network (currently, on the same zone
only).
Indovina contains wonderful sound effects, astounding graphics and art,
and four free music modules.

Indovina runs on any MacOS-compatible machine equipped with a 020 or a PPC.
It needs at least System 7.0, Sound Manager 3.0, a 13" (640x480) or higher
monitor in 256 colours mode, a 4.5MB to 5MB RAM partition (depending upon
screen size and number of music files), and about 4MB disk space.

Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1992 16:47:58 -0600
From: elpeters@lamar.ColoState.EDU (Eric Peters)
Subject: [*] KnightEdit 1.5.2

Hello, All:

Here is the newest version (1.5.2) of KnightEdit, a chess-notation editing
program. Some have called KnightEdit a game recorder. It reads and writes long
algebraic chess notation to and from text files. It animates the moves from a
text file onto a graphic chess board. After the chess move is made, post the
text file either on a communication network or on an office environment network,
or simply print out a text file and mail it to a friend.

Note that KnightEdit IS NOT a computer chess game.
--------------------------------------------
Shareware:
Try the program for 15 days. If you continue using it, pay the shareware fee; otherwise, destroy your copy or give it to a friend for a 15 day trial.

Mail a $10.00 registration fee to:

Carpenter Software
KnightEdit v1.5.2
PO Box 80743
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87198-0743

Commercial distribution of KnightEdit v1.5 or higher requires a license from
author and a registration fee. KnightEdit program is a property of Jesse
Carpenter.
--------------------------------------------
¥ Special features include:
--------------------------------------------
¥ KnightEdit writes and reads long algebraic chess notation to and from text
files.

¥ You can move the chess pieces on the chess board with the mouse. At the bottom
of the chess board when selected or active, the next turn number with the
appropriate chess piece is shown followed by the board coordinate of the
position of the mouse hand.

¥ The smart chess board or (AI) allows only a one move turn and only to the the
appropriate space. The smart chess board allows castling, in passing, pawn
exchanging, and error checking when reading text. Also smart chess determines a
check. If there is a checkmate or stalemate, the king cannot move.

¥ Animate under the Chess Moves Menu allows KnightEdit to animate the moves that
are listed on the text file. If it is desired for any reason to discontinue
animation, simply hold down the mouse button until the animation stops.

¥ Select Study under the Chess Moves Menu to review all chess moves without altering any text moves. It has a forward and reverse button, and a set and last move button. A quick way to study a game.

¥ Select Write under the Chess Moves Menu to Re-Write chess moves onto the text file. This option is good to use for rewriting incoming text file from others sources so chess notation is rewritten for KnightEdit compatibility. Also can write short algebraic chess notation by selecting the option in the preference dialog.

¥ Preference under the Option Menu allows you to save choice of chess piece,
orientation of board, and other options to a preference file. Thus upon starting
KnightEdit program, these option are set to New Files and to Text files. Also if
NOT using for Text Only in preference, options are saved to the text-style file.
The text-style file will set options upon opening, it has precedence over the
preference file.

¥ There is a print capability. If the text edit window is active while selecting print under the File menu, it will print WYSIWYG. ALSO if the chess board window is active, it will print the chess board.

¥ Braces {} and carets ^^ are used to manipulate how KnightEdit will read
the move list. KnightEdit will ignore any moves in a set of braces. But if
there is a caret on the immediate right of a left brace, KnightEdit will read
the contents within the braces. If it has two carets, this will indicate to
KnightEdit to continue reading on the the next set of braces that has a caret.
The second caret of the first set is only needed to set the continuation flag
and no others are needed. Also if a caret is placed any where other than on
the right of a left brace, KnightEdit will exit the reading except when
placed within braces without a caret on the right of a left brace.
This is great if you are playing more than one game to a correspondent; it allows KnightEdit to read one game at a time with out getting a read error.

This should replace the version currently in the archives. Please note that I am
NOT the author of this program. Direct bug reports to Jesse Carpenter (who IS
the author) at: JesseJr@aol.com

Enjoy!

Luminous Chess v1.0 (luminous-chess.hqx)

Download luminous-chess.hqx (88,986 KB)

From: (Joseph Strout) jstrout@ucsd.edu
Subject: Luminous Chess v1.0

Luminous Chess is a Macintosh application which implements an unusual
Chess board. Every piece on the board casts light onto the squares which
it may attack; one player's pieces cast red light, and the other's cast
blue. These lights overlap and combine, showing you instantly the
influence exerted over any square on the board.

Luminous Chess is strictly a two-player game; there is no computer
opponent. However, it has several advantages over a normal Chess board:

1.The luminous squares are both beautiful and informative.
2.Luminous Chess implements both standard and Grand Chess (which
requires a 10x10 board).
3.The pieces in Luminous Chess are not easily knocked over by the cat
while you're trying to play.

(Grand Chess mostly follows standard Chess Rules, but uses a larger board,
adds two extra pieces, and eliminates the "castle" move.)

MacLife 2.0 is an implementation of Conway's game of Life for
the macintosh. Conway's game of life is a simple cellular automation,
wherein cells live or die depending on the quantity of naboring cells.

Right now (version 2.0) this program is still VERY simple and bare
bones, although version 2.0 is a complete rewrite, and the speed and
interface have improved. It now uses an 9 x 9 non-wrapping grid. Future
updates will include these features:

1) A torus based board. The board will wrap right-left and
top-bottom.
2) Variable board sizes, or at least a larger board.
3) Coloration of cells determined by age.
4) Death of cells after a certain age. (Not in the original
Conway idea, yet still interesting.)
5) Possiblely a creature palate. Any input on interesting
patterns that you find would be appreciated.

Here is MacQubic 3.2, an upgraded and moderized version of what continues to be
the undisputed king of the 3D tic-tac-toe games. This version is fat code and
is able to run on Power Macs as well as, we hope, all the older machines. This

From: ChrisLi@Bridge1.com
Subject: MacIago X 3.5

*The Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan,
and English versions are included in the single application package.

MacIago is a strategic computer game based on the Othello/Reversi board
game and inspired on the 1984 mac game "Iago" made by David Reed (hence
the similar name).

MacIago 3 requires Mac OS X to run, if you want to play on Mac OS 9 or
lower then you can use MacIago 2.5. This game is freeware.

How to play

The game is played with a board on which you have to enclose the
opponent pieces between your own. All the enclosed pieces will be
converted to your own in the eight possible directions. Each move must
result in at least one conversion. When such move is not possible the
turn is forfeited. The game ends when none of the players is able to
make a move. The player with the most pieces at the end of the game
wins.

Features

- Version 3 has been completely rewritten for Mac OS X using the Cocoa
frameworks. Compared to the previous version it has improved graphics,
better artificial intelligence, a revamped user interface, and the
ability to show available moves.
- Version 3.5 introduces appearance plugins, a smarter and faster
artificial intelligence and a resizable window.

Network Othello 1.1b2

This is the second version of Net Othello, which allows several
users to play othello over an AppleTalk network. It allows users to
play several games against different opponents simultaneously and is
fully MultiFinder compatible. It can run on system 6, or system 7.

Improvements over first version:

Net Othello now works across AppleTalk zones. There are also some
internal changes which make it communicate more reliably over the
network.

There is also a known bug: If you try and register yourself with a
name that someone else is using, you get a dialog prompting you to
enter a new one. After doing this, it bombs :(

I will work on fixing this one. Please let me know of other bugs
you find, or suggestions you have.

Otello is a strategy board game named after an opera. It is not named after a

Otello can play at three skill levels, or it can be used by two people as an
electronic game board. If you like, it can suggest what it thinks is the best
move available at any time.

Please send me a postcard if you enjoy this game.

Version 1.0 eh?
Yep, this is the first version so there may be the occasional bug floating
around that I still haven't spotted. Please let me know if you find any!
There's also less options than there may be on future versions.

Any System Requirements?
Yep, you'll need something at least as good as an LCIII. You'll need at
least a 68030 processor really and a monitor that can display 256 colours
at 480x640 resolution. ie. a 13" monitor should do the job.

What is it?
Property is a version of a familiar property board game simulation. This
version is based on the Reading area and has been created using THINK C by
Graham Loader.

How do I play it?
It's all pretty straight forward how to play the game. If not there's a
user manual available from myself, or you can try the help option within
the game.

Is this game totally free or what?
This game is not free! If you like the game and play it more than a couple
of times then please show your gratitude. This game is BEERWARE which
means you can become a registered user by sending me a can of beer (export
lager perfered!). If you prefer you can send a cheque or cash to the value
of £5 which will give you the benefit of receiving the latest version of

The object of this game is to be the first person (or computer) to correctly
declare that there is a line of four pieces, each of which shares at least one
attribute.
There are four attributes: shape (round or rectangular), height (tall or
squat), color (white or grey), and plain or dotted.

Version 1.01r released April 1996. This version fixes two bugs that were
introduced in the features above: after opening a game, you could put pieces
down over pieces that were already on the board. Similarly, after "undoing" a
previously won game, you could put pieces down over pieces that were previously
part of the winning line.

More info is available by choosing "Help" from the Quarto menu in the game.
Quarto! is freeware. Source code is freely available.

RChess 2.2.2: Free humorous, beatable chess program (r-chess-222.hqx)

Download r-chess-222.hqx (148,091 KB)

From: (Richard A. Fowell) fowell@netcom.com
Subject: RChess 2.2.2: Free humorous, beatable chess program

Fills a market gap, by being easily beaten at its lower levels.
Unkind people have suggested that this feature applies at the
higher levels too. Usually beats its programmer on level 4,
often on level 3, and occasionally on level 2. Is given away
free, gratis, without charge, and for nothing. Nor are you
required to pay for it. Examines up to 1500 moves per second on
LCIII; up to 3600 per second on Quadra 650. The natural awe
with which naive people regard these numbers should be tempered
by the fact that most of the moves examined are stupid ones that
no human player would contemplate at all.

Risk II Improver is a simple patch for Risk II, the colorized version of
Risk. It allows backgrounding and fixes a dialog box error. This patch
was created by me, not by the author of the original Risk, or the person who
colorized it, and they have nothing to do with it. I hope this can be of
some use to the Mac community...

Dear Moderator,

This is a repost of a recent submission of the file Risk_II.sit.hqx.
Please submit this into your info-mac/game directory this last time.
This is a colorized version (modified using ResEdit) of the old
black/white Risk! This makes excellent use of the 256-color
mode of any color Macintosh with a color display. This has been
corrected of a minor flaw where the OK button in the victory
dialog window did not work. It now works. The color background
was modified slightly for better display on black/white Macs, as
well as the Risk! card backface. This game still works on the old
black/white Macs, since the modifications are only resources, that
is, the actual game code is still original and unchanged in this
colorized version. Therefore, this is not an unauthorized "hack".
It should be noted that though this game does not explicitly
announce anywhere within itself whether or not it is either share-
ware or freeware, one can assume freeware since it has been
available for downloading on ftp sites for quite some time now.
Hence all credit (c) rightfully belongs to the author of the game:

Bolton, MA 01740

Since this game now works for both black/white and color Macs,
it is certainly worth it to download. Enjoy!

A note to the moderators: I had a friend submit this game
on her own account about 4 days ago in the process of
showing her how to find the submissions addresses of
some of the sites, and how to submit the files for archiving,
but this time I am just doing it myself, so as not to involve
her a second time.

This is a puzzle game based on a chessboard. You control a little face
with the keypad, and have to move that face across every sqaure of the
board at least once within a limited amount of time. This is complicated
by an army of chess pieces
that get more advanced with each level, trying to capture you before you
complete your mission. You can, of course, capture them by moving atop
them before thy move atop you. This is a fast-paced action/strategy game
with support for both black-and-white and color, up to 256.

This is the latest release of the Screamer Chess Engine for PowerPC

An opening book, elementary end-game-tablebases, and complete instructions.

A MacOS X compatible version will be coming soon.

This is from the _Read_Me_First_ file.
What's New - build 57

This option allows all games played to be send to a file in PGN
format.
The PGN file can be used a a game database and directly inported
into Exachess or any chess database program.
What's Better
Rewrote the evaluation function.
This increases Screamer's score on test suites as follows:
Correct ELO USCF Rating

To the Info-Mac Moderators:

Here is a revision of a pd game. The creator of this game put it out with
the invitation that other folks add to it, which is what's happened. One
person in California revised it to use the Simpson icons that I made (you
have volumes 1 and 2, and I'm working on a 3rd collection, due by June of
this year), and he sent a copy to me. I promptly revised it some more, and
am sending you the result.

This game involves matching tiles, which then disappear. The object is to
match all the tiles, to uncover the picture beneath. I think it would be a
worthy addition to your Mac archives.

Thanks much!
Jeanette

Subject: Snack Attack 1.0.0 - Board Game

Snack Attack 1.0.0 is a game for 1 to 4 players, ages 3-7. It is a classic
"roll and move" game, the winner being the one who reaches the top of the
screen before the other players do. Any or all of the players may be run by
the computer. All the important action is handled by clicking the mouse on
pictures on the screen or by pushing the Space bar on the keyboard. All
dialog boxes are read aloud, so no reading is necessary.

The Story Thus Far... Five friends are out for a picnic. They are Hot Dog
Harry (a hot dog), Sweet Chips (a pickle slice), Cheeseman (a piece of
cheese), Gidget Grape (a grape), and Bugaloo (a bug). Just before they get to
eat, however, The Evil Burger Kong (who has a thing for pickles) swings by and
kidnaps Sweet Chips. The objective, then, is to rescue poor Sweet Chips from
The Evil Burger Kong.

Snack Attack runs on 68040 or better Macintoshes with System 7 or later. We
recommend a resolution of 640x480 pixels, but larger sizes are supported. You
should have at least 5M of free RAM available. Snack Attack runs in 256 color
mode; it will adjust your monitor for you if you desire.

Snack Attack is distributed as shareware. You have 30 days to try it and see
if you like it before purchasing a license for it. The cost of a license for
Snack Attack is US $12.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Based on the board game that has been marketed by Milton Bradley
as Mastermind, SuperMind expands the puzzle concept and adds new
challenge.

In the board game version you need two people, one to play and
one to "referee". In this game, the computer takes over the
job of grading your guesses so you can play it like solitare.

The object is to guess a secret pattern of colors (2 to 10 "pegs"
with colors selected randomly from 8) in as few guesses as possible.
The computer grades each guess, and you use the grades as a guide.
You are only allowed 15 guesses, and with a 10-peg pattern this
is just barely enough. ;)

The game includes on-line help on how to play.
Requires at least 256 colors, 4 megs of memory, system 7...
...and good logic skills!

The objective of the game is to get four pieces in a row.
That can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

Checkers (WCC Lite) Description (world-championship-checkers-lite.hqx)

Download world-championship-checkers-lite.hqx (4,194,000 KB)

From: InfiniteLS@aol.com
Subject: Checkers (WCC Lite) Description

The graphic in this program are amazing, the play is superior to every
other checkes program on the market, and the program is free. The download
is defintely
worth it!

World Championship Checkers (WCC) describes a suite of products. They are
the most advanced software programs to play the game of checkers (or
"draughts" to our friends across the Atlantic) that you can obtain. This
"lite" version is bundled with:
* An Opening Book containing more than 200,000 positions.
* A RAM-resident database containing more than 148 million positions.
* A disk-based "Perfect Play" database with over 7 million positions.
* An engine that searches 12-18 plies ahead (you set the depth.)

This version is "visit-ware". If you like it, all that we ask is that
you stop by our website at http://www.InfiniteLoop.org sometime and take a
look around. We have much stronger versions for sale; one that has beaten the
human world champion many times.
Opening Book

The Opening Book contains an abundance of the strongest moves ever made by
some of the most brilliant players ever to have lived. In this sense, you are
playing not just WCC Lite, but every one of those
considered to be the Greatest Masters of All-Time! Some of our book play
predates the birth of the United States of America, taken from a volume
published in 1756!

If you play a move that is in the book, aggressively counterplay and deadly
traps are instantly available. Sometimes WCC will make a move that
intentionally throws away a checker, or maybe even two checkers, but a few
moves later, you find yourself being triple-jumped as a piece lands in the
King row!
If you play a move that is not in the book, WCC will seach every position
between 12-18 plies into the future in order to determine its best move.

RAM Database of 148 Million Positions+

WCC has two kinds of endgame database. One exists in RAM, and is probed as
the look-ahead search encounters positions. This one has every position
involving 5 or fewer pieces mapped to a win, loss, or draw.

Since pieces come off the board "no matter what", WCC can probe ahead and
avoid the losses in its database, play for wins, and if it is in any kind of
trouble, it will head for a draw. It takes a very strong player to defeat
this version of WCC Lite.

Disk Database of 7 Million Positions+

The RAM Database is great for avoiding losses and finding wins from a
great distance as the program conducts it search. However, once there are 5
or fewer pieces on the board, this database does not provide any information
about what "THE best" move is. The program would have to continue searching,
since only the bland result "win, loss, draw" is stored in the database.This
is where the disk-based "Perfect Play" database becomes a dominating factor.
WCC Lite has every position with 4 or fewer pieces resolved, and it only
needs to look into this database to find out the optimal move, without ever
needing to search!

The longest win with 4 pieces features 2 checkers against 2 checkers and it
requires 109 plies (55 moves for the winner, 54 moves for the loser) in order
to complete the win! It would be impossible for a program to search to such a
depth!

There are versions of WCC on our website that have even larger Perfect Play
Databases. For example, the 5 Piece Perfect Play Database allows WCC
Platinum Series 1 (there are 10 total Platinum versions) to announce a win in
157 plies! In fact, some older checkers literature thought a very similar
position was a draw, but WCC proved the books wrong.

So, whether you are a casual checker player looking for a challenge, or you
want to defeat your "internet rival" in online checkers, you will defintely
enjoy the program.

YA-Mancala v1.0.1 - a classic board game - upgrade/bug fix (ya-mancala-101.hqx)

Download ya-mancala-101.hqx (106,332 KB)

From: Keith Rose
Subject: YA-Mancala v1.0.1 - a classic board game - upgrade/bug fix

This is a maintenance release of YA-Mancala that (hopefully) addresses
the proverbial post-release bugs in YA-Mancala v1.0.

Attention all board game lovers: here is YA-Mancala v1.0.1
(Yet-Another Mancala). This program is, as the name suggests,
an implementation of the classic board game Mancala. For those
who don't know the game, it is one of the oldest known board
games. It is traditionally played with stones on a carved
wooden board, or with a set of cups. The game has very simple
rules, so it is easy to learn. But like all good games, there
are subtlties of strategy lurking beneath the simplicity. This
game is suitable for children of all ages.

There are a few other implemenations of Mancala floating around
the Net and some of them are cheaper than this one (Shareware
Can$10), so you may be asking yourself why you should bother
downloading YA-Mancala. Well, quite simply, this program is
better (IMHO, of course). Here's why:

-It supports multiple colour depths. The graphics are optimised
for either black and white or 256 colours or grays, but it runs
fine at other depths. Please note that in order to run the game
in Thousands or Millions of colours you will have to double or
triple the default partition size. The default (620K) should be fine
at 256 colours or less. In fact, users with lower colour depths can
reduce this even further. In b/w, the game only requires about 100K.
In 24 bit colour it should run in 1800K.

-It should support all Macintosh models that support Colour Quickdraw,
under any version of the operating system since 6.0.5. (It is now know
not to work on pre-colour quickdraw machines like the Mac Plus. A b/w
only version that will support those machines should appear soon.
(Contact krose@mips2.phy.queensu.ca for details.)

-It is perfectly happy on all monitors, including 9" displays. It
should be great on your PowerBooks too.

-It features a multi-level artifical opponent that is fairly kind
to the novice, but is pretty competitive for advanced players.

-It has an (IMHO) attractive, uncluttered interface. It is
pretty nice to look at, and tries to conform to the principle of
least annoyance.

Anyway, I think it's a good program, and a great game. Try it
and I think you'll like it.

This version is a 68k binary. I haven't forked out the bucks
for a PowerMac yet. A native version will be released as soon as
possible. If you pay the shareware fee, I might be able to afford
one sooner. :) But you richer folks shouldn't worry, the program
shouldn't even hiccup under emulation.

Note to the Moderators: This program should be placed in the
game/brd directory. It supercedes (and hence should replace)
all previous versions of the program. Permission is
hereby granted to include this program on the Info-Mac cd-roms.

Zonez! a new boardgame (zonez.hqx)

Download zonez.hqx (25,515 KB)

From: andreww@farallon.com
Subject: Zonez! a new boardgame

Requires 8-bit color

A grid is divided into zones by two lines which intersect at a
particular point. When you click on a point the computer will draw
a dot, the color red, blue, yellow, or green indicating which zone
that dot is in. If the point is on or very close to a line, you'll
get a white dot. The goal is to find the blackk dot, the one at the
intersetion of the two lines.

The number of guesses in the current game is displayed in the lower
left hand corner. Your running totals are displayed in the lower
right. Obviously fewer guesses is better, and if you're half-way
paying attention you should be able to get down to twelve or ten
guesses. If you can get consistently below ten, that's pretty good!
