Family Games Compendium 2
Description
Family Games Compendium 2 is a collection of twenty casual games from eBrainyGames.
The CD autoloads and displays a game menu. When the player clicks on the menu the game installs along with eBrainyGames' 'Super Menu'., installing further games adds the game to the menu.
When all the required games are installed the player runs the games through the eBrainyGames' 'Super Menu', games are presented as tiles or cells in a 3x4 grid with twelve games on screen one and eight on screen two. The games available in this compilation are:* Four Orbs
- 8 Away
- Checkers (part 1)
- Balloon Kaboom
- Balloon Kaboom Challenge
- Balloon Kaboom Expert
- Charmed
- Color Wheel
- Dark Tiles
- eBrainyDarts
- Gonzo Heads
- Miner Max
- Paper Scissors Rock
- Poker Palace
- Spelling Bee
- Strata 21
- StrataPoker
- Sunken Treasure
- Super Word Slide
- Word Wiz
Some, or all, of the games allowed the player to create a player identity and to upload their scores to an on-line 'Hall of Fame'.
There is a link on the last screen which implies that further games could be downloaded from eBrainyGames. The company marketed and sold its games on-line with player's trying the games and paying for a key to unlock the full game however when tested, in 2015, this site was no longer active though archived versions of the site are available.
Game documentation comes in two forms, there is a single multilingual file in .pdf format that can be accessed from the install menu however this does not match the games on offer as it describes the games 'No Bull' and 'Maze Cube' which are not included but does not describe 'Word Wiz' or 'Super Word Slide' which are. There is in-game help for each game but this is entirely in English.
