## Description

This is a collection of three mini-games designed to drill in some basic
reading and typing skills to the young microcomputer user of the early ’80s.
The first of the three games (each with four skill levels, demanding faster
reflexes) presents the player with falling letters which must be typed
correctly before hitting the bottom of the screen… and eventually the game’s
mascot floats down defying the player to type in an entire _word_. The second
game takes word-typing as a given skill, as the player is now in charge of
typing in the full names of icons of common household objects gradually
floating down the screen. In the third game, an object is named on the bottom
of the screen and the player must punch in the correct number corresponding to
the object’s icon, displayed on screen.

The second and third games have bonus rounds whose gameplay is as the regular
rounds, except that the icons are now partially obscured, demanding a certain
exercise of player memory faculties.
