- MisterMind -
So, you've played the Java version. Now try the real version. Ok, in case you
haven't played the Java version, this is a logic puzzle similar to the board game
MasterMind (Try to guess a pattern of colors, with the computer giving clues). This
one let's you vary the number of colors and the number of pegs, let's you take back a
selection, let's you take more that 10 guesses, and even save games. (16-Bit Windows, runs
with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, 19K zip )

dependant)
