This program uses the idea of a fruit machine with three
windows, one giving the type of element, one giving the
symbol or atomic number, and the other name of the element.
There are 10 jackpots to win in each game and games are won
by the player pressing a key whenever all the windows relate
to one element.
You enter your name and skill level before each game, and there
are four skill levels. These claim to range from beginner
to professor, but this is an exaggeration.
The graphics, apart from the moving handle of the fruit machine,
are poor and fairly static. The noise, and I use the word
deliberately, accurately imitates that of a real machine and
quickly becomes very tiring. Fortunately, it can be turned off.
The whole game is repetitive and rather trivial so unless there
are two or more players, one would quickly tire of it.
