Match Wits

Published in Home Computing Weekly #18

Loosely based on the card game Pelmanism, Match Wits is a memory testing game for two to four players.

Each player has a field of 12 coloured squares that conceal six pairs of abstract pictures. In turn, each player attempts to uncover a match for a random picture in the centre of the screen, to score one point.

If a player reveals both of a pair of pictures then that player has the chance to uncover a square on a different player's board, to gain two bonus points. There are two skill levels to the game - the higher level uses less easily distinguished shapes in one colour, but is otherwise similar.

Good use is made of graphics and sound and the game was fairly absorbing once the barely adequate instructions were fathomed. You could of course play the same game with a pack of playing cards - but that's progress!
