Amstrad CPC screenshots

thumbnail — The game load screen. Note the long, long load time for such a simple game

thumbnail — The game's main menu

thumbnail — The game starts here. Guessing begins after the players name has been entered. I guess this is so that other players know who taught the game the rude words.

thumbnail — This is the only question for which the answer is not Yes or No. I'm going to see if it can guess the word LEAF, so the answer here is 2 - Vegetable

thumbnail — The game then responds with a question that differentiates between items it knows about. Here I'm saying Yes because its spring and the leaf I'm looking at is green

thumbnail — Good call! Grass is green and I suppose it's made up of leaves but my leaf is on a tree so I'll answer NO to this

thumbnail — The game concedes defeat. Had it a more extensive vocabulary it would ask more questions before it gave up. This is where the player teaches the game a new word.

thumbnail — Having taught the game a new word the player then tells it what question to ask to differentiate between Leaf & Grass since both are vegetable and Green

thumbnail — The game's database has now been expanded. I'm playing again and this time I'm going with the word EAGLE

thumbnail — The game always gives the player(s) time to think of a word

thumbnail — This was a genuine surprise! The game only knows two animals and one of them was EAGLE. It plays a short happy tune when it gets one right

thumbnail — This screen shot is from database update function (option 6 from the main menu) which allows the player to correct existing entries
