Things for Daddies to Do

21st Century Sailing
Sail into the 21st Century across an expanse of blue! This game has plenty of options and three racing courses that make it a great way to learn some of the basics of sailing. Kids and parents can set the wind and courses before they start a race. Set the level to novice, intermediate or advanced. Then decide whether the ship's crew should act on their own or if the captain has to remind them of when to tack the sail. With 3 worthy opponents, this is quite a challenging task. Many of us may be left sailing circles around the starting buoy! The help file included in the game comes in real handy. This game is a demo with all of the options available, but it lasts for two hours.

Air Hockey
This game of hockey pits the player against the computer for one-on-one fun! Score a goal by putting a pesky puck at another player. Use the mouse for bouncing the puck around the board with a paddle. Whack the puck into the other guy’s goal to score a point. The first player to 10 wins.

Goofy Golf
This is a miniature golf game for up to 4 players and is a lot of fun for all ages. The demo version has 10 holes and the full version has 54. There's a scorecard for each player.

High Heat Baseball 2000
This virtual ballpark is a sure favorite of Baseball fans. You can pick a favorite team, the Yankees or the Padres, and challenge the other! The stadiums are fashioned after the real thing. You can try out three innings in the demo version. Like real baseball, the challenge lies in team play. Without wasting time, quickly switch to the next base and toss the ball. Be sure to try and catch the ball (an automatic out) then flip it over to third base to snag another out. When batting, players swing the bat with the enter key. Timing is important for a home run. The demo version includes options where players decide which controls are automatic and which ones they have to control with keys. In this way, the game can be set to play with minor keystrokes for kids, or can be adjusted for the much more advanced player. The full version offers many more options, including Internet and LAN play. Players will even be able to play in the world series!

International Rally Championship
This 3-D driving game gives players the best of both worlds. Although you can easily lose control, there's simply no way for you to get hurt while learning to drive. So start your engines now. Use the "Z" and "X" keys to steer and rev your engine with the quotation mark! Though it isn't the same as using your feet, but once the race begins, the other cars will do well to beware of the player in the back with a lead finger.
(4.64 MB, DirectX 5, P166 or better (we tested on a P133), 16 MB RAM, 640x480 SVGA graphics, Windows 95, Free Demo)
