Trivia Now
Are you tired of those wimpy trivia games that have a tired rehash of the same old questions? Do you wish you could have a choice of categories for individual players, so you can play adult against children or expert against beginner? Trivia Now is the game for you. Trivia Now has over a dozen files of trivia questions and ranks them in three levels of difficulty. Up to four players can set Trivia Now to ask questions from any of the files, so you can keep the game balanced.

Sports Highlights
Everyone knows that Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record of 714 home runs, but exactly when did he hit number 715? And how many home runs did "Hammerin' Hank" end his career with anyway? Well, Sports Highlights has the answers to that and much, much more. What happened in the history of sports on your birthday? Well, now you will know. The sports facts in this program were researched by Mary Bogenschutz Golla, and were originally reported on "This Day In Sports," a radio program hosted by Al LeGrande on KEEL radio in Shreveport, LA.

Diffraction
Are you a puzzle-maniac? Do you love to ponder over cause and effect patterns? Are you enthralled by logical conundrums and black-box problems? Then you'll love Diffraction. Your job is to puzzle out a combination of colors by matching direct hits and near misses.

Story Teller
Once upon a time there was a wonderful program that allowed users to create hilarious stories by entering nouns, adjectives and other words. Actually the time is now and the program is Story Teller, and you have it on this disk. Story Teller was used to create this month's Comedy Corner, so go take a look at the Comedy Corner under the "Just For Fun" menu.

Polygons
This arcade-style program will leave you finger-tied and pleasantly exhausted. Your job is to complete polygons of any shape by placing fragments of polygons on a field. As you complete a polygon it is removed and your score will increase by an amount depending on the current level. If you enjoyed Circuitry or Finagle, you'll LOVE Polygons!

Backdroppers
