Hang2000 v1.0 For Windows Released!

Merrimack, New Hampshire, August 6, 1999: Ken Winograd and
Space-Time Associates announced today the release of
version 1.0 of a fun shareware game called Hang2000.
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 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
