- PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
-
- ONE LINER:
-
- Challenging puzzles with great EGA graphics and a space flavour
-
- SHORT DESCRIPTION:
-
- Move your "POD" around a network of coloured tracks to remove them, but
- avoid falling off. Harder than it sounds! A challenging puzzle game,
- featuring great EGA graphics, with a distinctive space flavour.
-
- MEDIUM DESCRIPTION:
-
- This puzzle game for EGA systems stands out by having a high level of
- graphics and can be operated on a variety of computer speeds (from XT to
- 486). The puzzles are challenging enough for the most dedicated mind-
- bender, yet the concept is simple enough to explain to children. 20
- levels come with the shareware program, with another 60 waiting for the
- registered users (who will also receive a bonus level designer). Other
- features include online help, and a demo mode.
-
- LONG DESCRIPTION:
-
- POD works on any PC compatible with EGA graphics and 256K of memory. The
- idea of the game is simple: move your "POD" around the network of coloured
- tracks to remove them without falling off. Different colours require
- multiple passes, which makes life that more interesting, and other pieces
- do even more interesting things! Like throwing you halfway across the
- board, for instance! Using the cursor keys the game is easy to play, yet
- the levels can be very challenging for even the most dedicated puzzle
- freaks. Children will find the colours amusing, and the simplicity of
- the game will enable them to play it almost immediately. The game comes
- with online help, as well as a demo mode which goes through the basics of
- the game while you watch. 20 levels are issued with the shareware
- version, while registered users will enjoy a further 60 levels, plus a
- utility that enables them to create their own POD levels. This utility
- can be fully mouse or keyboard driven, and also comes with online help.
