ImIsion is not your typical game or "battle" software. Its something that
draws you in by engaging the intellect. It can be played for minutes or
hours at a time with nothing to save, learn, or remember. It may be found
at the WWW and ftp addresses below.

ImIsion 369 (and ImIsion 449) is a collection of computer puzzles based on
the 5,000 year old Chinese tangram. It is somewhat similar to the puzzle
game Tangoes. However, unlike Tangoes or the tangram, ImIsion 369 (and
ImIsion 449) runs on Macintosh, PowerPC, and Windows based computers and
includes software tools to assist the player in construction techniques.

The object of ImIsion is to duplicate a given puzzle using the seven marble
shapes provided. The seven shapes can be rotated or flipped 1) using a
control panel or 2) directly by doubleclicking the mouse. The only rules
to ImIsion are 1) all seven shapes must be used, and 2) none of the seven
shapes may overlap. The player has access to various tools to help in
accomplishing the puzzles, as well as an "EXPLODE" menu option that will
blow apart the puzzle to reveal a solution.

It is not the computer that makes the ImIsion Series valuable, but software
tools. The tools include an outline of the puzzle shape, vertical and
horizontal measuring rulers, and puzzle pieces that contain information
relating each piece to other pieces in the puzzle and to the puzzles
themselves. The tools are included to eliminate the trial-and-error
guessing inherent in Tangoes, and replace it with planning, analysis, and
reasoning. As Tangoes gives the player over 70 cumbersome pieces and no
tools, ImIsion provides a single software application integrated with
multiple software tools to help the player better utilize and develop
spatial reasoning and analytical thinking skills.

ImIsion is fun and entertaining, but more importantly it is focused
specifically on utilizing and developing a person's intellect. With
ImIsion software, the computer is used not as an interactive television
but as a tool to develop thinking skills.

ImIsion 369 and ImIsion 449 are shipping and, for the registered user, can
be used in three levels of play; Level 1 - Figures, Level 2 - Shapes, and
Level 3 - Abstracts. The ImIsion Series, help files, and the ImIsion
literature may be downloaded from the World Wide Web at the Decision
Graphics site:
