Shapes & Letters

An educational game for children from ages 1 and up.

My son Kevin always loves to bang on my keyboard, yet he wasn't old
enough to really understand some of the other kids games. He was just
learning his letters and numbers so I decided to create a simple graphic
program that just displayed the letter pressed in a large and colorful
format. Here is the result, and even I am surprised at how much he loves to
play with this game. (Almost every time he sees my computer on!)

Minimum requirements:
Graphics Adapter: CGA or above (Hercules not supported)
Operating System: DOS 2.0 or above
Can be run from floppy or hard drive

It's simple to run, just invoke the program by typing SHP&LET at the
command line and let your kid do the rest. Every time a letter is pressed
it will come up about screen size on the display with a random foreground
and background color as well as a random tone! Number keys also generate the
corresponding number on the screen. Other keys, such as the function keys
and punctuation display different shapes for the child to learn.

To return to DOS you must depress CTRL-F10, this way your kid won't
unexpectedly end the game sending him or her into the worst temper tantrum
you've every seen.

The title screen reflects my son's name Kevin (you can also see the title
screen by hitting the ESC key). If you'd like to have a personalized copy,
please send in the registration card below with your kid's name printed in
the space provided, along with a $7 registration fee to:
