Stomp them or shoot them - that's the question. It's all a
matter of how much patience you have. Twelve geese have
escape into six wheat fields. Fortunately, you are only
confronted by one at a time, but you must send them away
before they gobble all the wheat. These crafty geese avoid
cornering tactics by walking into ditches you can't cross.
When the chase becomes tiresome it's all too tempting to
stomp a goose by walking into it. Doing this loses points.
At random intervals a goose flies across the screen. You may
shoot it by pressing the spacebar, but this is difficult and
slow to respond.
Word Race will be familiar to viewers of Channel Four's
Countdown. Two players participate, each taking turns to
ask for vowels or consonants, randomly selected by the
computer. Both players must then make a word using as many
of the nine letters as possible in a limited time. Points are
scored for using the most letters. The computer cannnot verify
the meaning or spelling of words, but will check that the letters
used are legal.
