This is really an international version of Hangman as it can be played in five languages; English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. You can also store your own Hangman words in the program.

There are two levels of difficulty - easy or hard. Each game starts by asking if you want a clue about the word to be guessed. The easy option shows dashes on the screen indicating the number of letters in the word to be found. The hard option doesn't. You have nine guesses, and the whole word can be guessed at the start or letter by letter.

If you fail to guess the word in nine goes, you are unceremoniously hung whilst the Death March plays.

If you enjoy a challenge as well as word games then this old and tried game is fair value for money - and might even improve your foreign languages.
