Zeek needs to collect mushrooms for his family, and you can help him figure out how to get them. You will guide him through fifteen levels of play, and encounter a number of obstacles along the way. There are block walls that can't be moved and locked gates that can only be opened if you find the key. There are boulders to push out of the way, flowers that eat Geeks, and many other things that may help or hinder Zeek in getting to the mushrooms. You will have to figure out how to use or avoid the things you find while you guide Zeek on his way. The complete list of things that Zeek will meet in Part One is: Walls that do not move. Yellow barrels that do not move. Mushrooms that Zeek collects for his family. Toadstools that are fatal if eaten. Round yellow boulders that Zeek can push. Giant apples that Zeek can push. Yellow flowers that Zeek can pick. Locked gates. Keys to the gates. (Zeek can carry only one at a time.) Purple flower buds that open when a Geek is near. Purple flowers that eat apples and nearby Geeks. Magic crystals that disintegrate when brought together. Dynamite that Zeek can push to destroy most obstacles. Although other members of the Zeek family of programs must be purchased, Zeek the Geek Part One is provided free of charge. Zeek the Geek Part Two Zeek the Geek Part Two is a continuation of the adventures of Zeek with thirty all new puzzling situations for you to help Zeek through. Zeek still needs to collect mushrooms for his family, he will meet all the same hazards that he found in Zeek the Geek Part One, and he will meet many new ones, including Piclasops and Atomic Eyes. A Piclasop looks something like an earthly triceratops, but it is strictly vegetarian. It can inflict a fatal byte if you get in its way, but it ignores Geeks when left alone. Atomic Eyes were placed on Zeek's planet by an alien race that is trying to eliminate the Geeks and eventually take over the planet. They watch the Geeks, and zap them with a laser blast if they can get a clear shot at them. The complete list of things that Zeek will meet in Part Two is: Everything encountered in Part One. Piclasops that graze on the local vegetation. Atomic Eyes that zap Geeks when they can. Blue flowers that are fatal if picked. Attitude Eggs that change the colors of flowers. Rotten Apples that are digested slowly by the purple flowers. Invisibility pills that last for a short time. Zeek the Geek Part Two also includes the ability to read in Zeek the Geek Puzzle Packs.

Zeek the Geek System Requirements The Zeek family of programs each requires a '386 or better processor running Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later.

Without a sound card, the game has no music, and it has very limited sound effects. GAMES FOR DOS: -------------- Sea Battle Sea Battle is Sidewalk Software's version of the age old paper and pencil game of two navys engaged in battle at sea. You are in control of one navy and the computer is in control of the other. Each navy has five warships hidden in a 10 by 10 grid, and each navy shoots into the grid hoping to hit one of the opposing navy's ships. You, as commander of one navy, will engage in battle against the computer, and you must try to sink its navy before it can sink yours. The game is very user friendly, it has easy to use controls, and it includes context sensitive help in pop-up windows. If you and a friend have enjoyed playing a paper and pencil version of this game, you'll love the fun that you can have with the computer version, and your computer is always ready for another round play. Scramble The game of Scramble contains a set of ten puzzles to be solved, and you can make more puzzles of your own. Each of the puzzles consists of a set of numbered or lettered tiles arranged into a pattern or phrase, and the pattern may contain blank tiles that are frozen in place. The pattern can be scrambled into a state of disarray by the computer, and your challenge is to move the tiles back into the proper pattern or phrase. You can move the tiles only one at a time, and only into an empty spot in the pattern. Start with a small simple puzzle, and progress to the very challenging large puzzles. DOS UTILITIES: -------------- Time of Day with Reminder Notes Time of Day with Reminder Notes is a DOS utility that displays a friendly greeting including your name, the time, and date, and it provides a simple means of displaying date-coded reminder notes when you turn on your computer or when you request them. Your computer can remind you of holidays, business meetings, birthdays, etc. You won't forget an appointment again! The program comes with reminder notes for all the major holidays, and it allows you to quickly and easily define your own personalized reminder notes. You can enter reminders of birthdays and special occasions, and your computer will display them to you on the date(s) that you specify. You will get the reminder you need, just at the time you need it.
