Squares is a multimedia board game that works in all versions of Microsoft Windows(tm) (95, 3.11, 3.1, NT)..  Squares version 2.0 is faster than older versions and has fabulous updated sound.   A sound card is desirable, but not required.  You can play against another person or against the computer.  There are 3 difficulty levels (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced).

The Squares reward song is the original score of The Entertainer as published in "The Complete Works of Scott Joplin".  The Entertainer is a MIDI file so carefully rendered from the original score that it seems like an actual performance.


Squares is distributed in both retail and shareware channels.  The shareware version is fully functional, but time/usage limited.
