## Description
The _ShowText_ system is a programming language, designed for developing
interactive DOS applications with a customized TUI (text-based user interface)
and mouse support. The system was originally distributed as a shareware
product, and each release came with a selection of demonstration programs –
including games. As of the final revision (v2.2, released as freeware) the
package includes the following games:
* _Attack_ (aka _Aliens_ in earlier versions), in which you hunt down invading ships with the mouse cursor before they laser the city to death
* _Bricks_ , a Breakout clone
* _Card Match_ , a concentration game with standard playing cards
* _Cave-Dive_ , where you must collect diamonds while dodging bombs and cave walls, all in free-fall
* _Depth Charge_ , similar to Deep Scan, where a destroyer must time its charges to destroy the roving submarines below the surface
* _Land-Mine_ , a Minesweeper variant
* _Lights-Off_ , an adaptation of the electronic puzzle game _Lights Out_
* _MasterMind_ , revisiting the classic code-breaking board game of the same name
* _Number Guessing_ , which gives you five attempts to guess a number between 1 and 50 based on visual cues
* _Peg Jump_ (aka _Pegs_ ), a game of peg solitaire
* _Puzzle_ , the familiar basic 4×4 sliding tile puzzle
* _Reverse_ , which challenges you to arrange the scrambled digits from 1 to 9 by reversing parts of the sequence at a time
* _Sequence Repeat_ , a ‘Simon Says’ game with optional sound
* _Shooting Gallery_ , the well-known carnival shooting game, now in ASCII form
* _Towers_ , a Tower of Hanoi puzzle, playable with 3-7 discs
* _Wiggle-Worm_ , a multi-level Snake-like game (including instructions for designing additional levels using the ShowText language)
