SonSnap:
A two-player game of sound snap. The first to be five points ahead of their rival is the winner.

PLAYER 1: SHIFT-LOCK (bottom-left key on an original BBC Micro keyboard).
PLAYER 2: RETURN key

The modified E.SONSNAP file converts this to the SPACE BAR and RETURN key for use on PC emulators. 





Hi-Lo:
A sonic "what number am I thinking of?" type game. A pitch is chosen secretly by the computer. You use the SPACE bar to try to guess how low or high the sound is. Hold SPACE to raise the pitch. Let go for a guess. The computer responds with a low pitch if the sound will be higher than your guess. A high-pitch if the sound will be lower than your guess, and a celebratory sound pattern if you get it right.


Cricket:
SPACE (or most keys) to bat.
S = speak team score.
P = speak current partnership (batsman's runs with the current partner).

Keep batting until 10 wickets fall. You will then be told All out- End of innings. You can then play against your own best score, or against a friend taking their turn. The game is purely of luck.
