I'll (also) post this reply to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games and
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted.  Although the former is perfectly ok,
but the the latter is the specialized place to "look for" and "want"
programs.  Note that what is below is not the only alternative.  I
have seen other games for this too, but I do not have the exact
references.  However take a look at our /pc/education and
/pc/educgames directories.  Start by gettting our file list
/pc/INDEX.ZIP.
