Look Sharp!

There are two programs using memory and observation. Old MacDonald (for ages 4-7 years) has four pictures. If you can remember which animal was displayed where you will do well. The second game has a Spot the difference theme and is, called Odd One Out. Snap is for two young players - the first to respond to a pair wins.

Space Observer Recruitment Test (ages 7 up) is also based on pictures but is much faster and more sophisticated. The odd one out is now one of six pictures of weird space creatures, rockets, and lunar landscapes. In the Kim's game you have to remember the order of nine unfamiliar pictures, as you are trained for your space mission. There is also a simple matching game.

An exciting atmosphere and style are maintained with a "computer" type font like the numbers on your cheques, and a lively and clickety use of the BEEP command.
