Match (1981)(Edge Software)(300 baud)(PD)[From The Arcadian] - archived from 
hand-labeled tape in Bob Fabris collection. This was originally sold on Edge 
Software's first tape, along with "Bowl", but was later printed in ARCADIAN 3, 
no. 12 (Oct. 05, 1981): 122.

Match (1981)(Edge Software)(300 baud)[Tape #1] - archived from commercial tape 
in Richard Houser's collection. This is very close to the version printed in 
The Arcadian, but does have some minor formatting differences.


Instructions from the Arcadian:
-------------------------------

The object of this board game, for either one or two players, is to select the 
pairs of cards (A to T) which have matching numbers (0 to 9). As letter guesses 
are entered on the key-pad the cards are "turned over" to reveal the numbers. 
If a match is made the two cards are removed from the board and the player 
tries two more cards. If a match is not made the cards are turned down again.

If there are two players, they take turns guessing two cards at a time. At the 
end of the game the number of pairs matched for each player is shown. If there 
is just one player the number of tries needed to complete all 10 matches is 
shown at the end. The challenge is to have as few tries as possible-- 10 would 
be a perfect score.

Both the color and a number of the right of the screen indicate which player 
should enter a letter (blue 1s #1, red 1s #2). A short instruction at the 
beginning explains what to do.
