LOGIC GAMES FOR KIDS for Windows, Version 4.0   
   
Purpose:  Logic Games for Kids provides fourteen programs 
that challenge a child's thinking skills.  The programs are aimed 
at Grades K through 8, but can be enjoyed by all.  Each 
program in Logic Games for Kids has a number of playing 
options to provide a large variety of game situations.  
  
Concentration is the classic card game where you search for 
matching pairs of cards.  Simon Says is an echo game that 
challenges memory skills-- repeat patterns of colors, 
shapes, or pictures.  Codebreaker asks you to decipher a 
multi-color code using clues from the computer.  Build a Wall
and Jelly Beans are competitions between two players or 
versus the computer.  In Build a Wall, you take turns adding 
blocks to a wall trying to complete it.  In Jelly Beans, you 
take turns removing beans from a jar and the one who takes 
the last bean loses!  Awari is an ancient African pebbles-in-pits 
game.  Logical planning skills are needed to collect pebbles from 
the pits.  

In Drop Four, you try to line up four basketballs or soccer 
balls by dropping them down a vertical playing grid.  In Row 
of Five, the object is to line up five markers in a row on a 
checker board.  Play against the computer (different 
difficulties) or a friend.  In Reverse, by trapping your 
opponent's playing pieces, they reverse color and become 
your pieces.  The one with the most pieces at the end of the 
game wins.  Play Checkers against a computer opponent.  The 
computer isn't so smart that it can't be beat.  Slider Puzzle is the 
classic puzzle where you arrange sliding tiles in order on a playing 
board.  Twister Puzzle is a two-dimensional version of Rubik's cube.  
Star Puzzle asks you to jump pieces on a star board to end up with 
certain results.  In Peg Puzzle, you jump pegs on a cross-shaped 
board removing each jumped peg - the goal is to match one of many 
patterns.
