 [Product Image]SmartSquares is the first game in the smartkids.gif (5549 bytes) game collection from Spitting-Image Software.

SmartSquares is a "kid-size" version of the once popular TV game show "Concentration".

The game involves a collection of square buttons displayed on the screen. Behind each button is the picture of a cartoon character. The same image is also located behind one of the other buttons on the screen. The goal of the game is to find as many of these picture-pairs as possible, and preferably, more than your opponent.

Check out these screen shots of SmartSquares.

Ages

You are old enough if you can move and click a mouse (or point at the screen if someone else will move the mouse for you).  Teenagers will probably find the concept somewhat "beneath" them, but will enjoy extending the game to support addtional image and sound sets or playing against the clock.
