| Spielkasten - German vocabulary through games This new suite of programs teaches German vocabulary in an enjoyable,
yet very effective way. It consists of a series of games which involve
matching words with pictures. There are 78 sets of words and pictures
included, and instructions are given for creating your own sets. The
sound can be associated with the pictures or the words or both. The remaining three games - Millionaire, Hangman, and Jigsaw - are for one player only and operate using words selected at random from any of the 78 sets. The 78 topics include animals, food and drink, clothes, occupations,
leisure activities, travel, household objects, school, numbers, parts
of the body, weather, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and many more. |

| Three in a row
Nine pictures are displayed in three rows of three. Players take turns to choose one of the pictures by clicking on the correct word underneath. The object of the game is to have three squares in your own colour across, down or diagonally and, of course, to stop your opponent doing the same. |

| Fastfinger
Players choose a letter key on the computer keyboard. Each player starts
with 25 points. Every time the picture or the word changes, one point
is taken off one of the players' scores and put into a pot 'to be won'.
When the word and the picture match, the first player to press his chosen
key wins the points in the pot. The winner of the game is the player
to take all 50 points. The speed of the game can be varied to suit different
abilities. |

| Guess what!
The nine pictures are put in a random order by the computer. Players
take turns to guess which picture is next, typing the word underneath.
One point is given for each correct guess, and that picture is not
used again. The winner is the player who has the most points when all
of the pictures have been guessed. The skill is in remembering the
order of the pictures and which ones have already been guessed. |
