Is it a game? An educational program? It's a bit of both.

Noah's Ark is drawn, and the jumbled letters of an animal appear in one of the windows. It's iinaccurate to call it an anagram because an anagram is a proper word made from the letters of another word.

You have two guesses at the word. Only the first guess, if correct, scores. If you are wrong the first time then a clue is given - a second wrong guess, you get the answer and the next word is displayed.

This simple exercise, much beloved of books on elementary programming, is embellished with sound and some neat graphics - a storm, Noah's Ark, the water receding on correct answers, and finally, if you have enough correct, the dove flying off and returning with an olive branch.

The cassette insert is drab, simple but precise instructions are provided on screen, and the program loaded first time.
