FATHOM IT!: SOLITAIRE BATTLESHIP FOR THE DISCERNING PUZZLER
Puzzle enthusiasts can now enjoy Solitaire Battleship with a logical
deduction twist
=======================================================
Are you a Battleship lover looking for a challenging variation
to the game? A logical deduction fan searching for a refreshing
brain twister? A puzzle enthusiast in search of a fascinating
and new puzzle?
Mountain Vista Software announces the release of Fathom It!, an
MS Windows adaptation of GAMES Magazine's popular column
"Battleships". Like the classic game of Battleship, Fathom It!
presents you with a board in which a fleet of ships is hidden,
the goal being to locate the entire fleet of ships. Unlike
Battleship, however, Fathom It! puzzle boards are solved using
logical deduction only.
Fathom It! contains more than 30,000 unique and challenging
boards, divided into easy, intermediate, hard, and expert
levels of difficulty. Easy level Fathom It! boards are ideal
for children, while expert boards will tax the ingenuity of the
most determined puzzlists. For the player looking for
aesthetic enjoyment in puzzles, Fathom It! board solutions
exhibit a chess problem-like beauty.
Fathom It! comes with a built-in board solver, guaranteed to
supply the player with a hint at any time. The solver is a
rule-based expert system, and will amaze you with the
insightful hints it provides when invoked. An extensive help
file provides a wealth of tips and strategies for solving
Fathom It! boards.
Vision-impaired puzzlers will appreciate Fathom It!'s unique
auto-resizing feature. When Fathom It!'s window is maximized,
all elements of the game are enlarged accordingly, making the
board highly visible and easy to use.
A fully functional evaluation copy of this $24.95 program for
MS Windows 3.x or above is available from Mountain Vista
