Hang2000 v1.3 For Windows Released (with Mac interchangeability)

<URL:http://www.winograd.com>

Merrimack, New Hampshire, April 12, 2000: Ken Winograd and Space-Time
Associates announced today the release of version 1.3 of a fun, shareware
game called Hang2000 for Windows.

Hang2000, previously only available for the Macintosh, is a new take on
the classic hangman word guessing game we all played when we were kids. 
It features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, dozens of
built-in word categories, thousands of words, unlimited lists of your own
words, and much more.

Hang2000 is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you can't
help learning. Included in Hang2000 is a new "knowledge area". This area
will include information associated with the guessed word or phrase. If
the word chosen is from the States or Countries category, for example, the
knowledge area will show the capital of the State or Country. If the
category is Authors or Composers, the knowledge area will show facts
about, or famous works of, the author or composer.  You can also make your
own lists (unlimited in number) and include your own associated
information.

There are dozens of categories, guaranteed to include something for
everyone. From Monsters and Dinosaurs to Star Trek and Television Shows,
from Animals and Birds to Colors and Cities, from Fruits and Vegetables to
Presidents and Vice-Presidents, from Rock and Roll to Opera and Musical
Instruments. And literally dozens more!

Hang2000 includes Multi-Level Winning Streak Score Boards, allowing
students and family members alike to keep track of winning streaks. And,
best of all, separate score boards are kept for each difficulty level, so
users can compete against users choosing the same difficulty level.

Hang2000 also offers full support for what's often known as "accented
characters". Hang2000 supports the entry and display of words in many
languages, including Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Flemish, French,
German, Italian Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.  Hang2000 makes learning
vocabulary more fun than ever before.

Hang2000 v1.3 uses a new Installer/Uninstaller, and saves word files in a
new format (effortlessly allowing the use of old word lists, new word
lists, and word lists from the Macintosh version of Hang2000).

Hang2000 requires Windows 95, 98, etc.(Macintosh version also available)

Hang2000 is available now.  For more information, or to download or
securely register the program, please visit the Hang2000 web page at:
