Actually Hangman comes first, despite what it says on the card. This is an effective interpretation of the popular spelling game, for two players, in which you are liable to get hanged more repeatedly than in, for example, the Pet version which has been around for years.

The graphics, however, are rather imaginative, for if you win the little man leaps free from the scaffold, saved in the nick of time! If you lose, the trap doors close ominously - a nice little novelty.

Moo is another old favourite, in which you guess a four digit number the computer randomly chooses. You input a four-digit guess and are told how many bulls (correct digits correctly placed) and cows (correct digits in the wrong place) your entry merits, and you carry on until your guess is right.
