John DiGregorio is a mean, evil, cruel, vicious, wicked, sadistic man, and I hate him.  I told him so, too.  True to his colors, he just laughed.

John and his partners are behind Crazy Knights, an addictive new CD-ROM game for the PC based upon the chess knight's L-shape moving pattern.  The object of the game is to land on every square without landing on the same square twice.  It can prove to be quite a challenge!  Not to mention quite maddening...

Each game is programmed so the player's next move options are highlighted in yellow, and change with each move, as does their next move options. Once a square has been landed on, it will either change color or reveal more of a picture, depending on which game has been selected.

The game program will not allow a second landing on any square.  At the end of each game the computer will display the number of blocks remaining, amount of time used, and the player's score.  There is also a High Score list to keep a record of the player's statistics.

There are twenty colorful puzzle-pattern games to choose from and a variety of skill levels, making it fun for children and adults.  In the Beginner's category the games include Butterfly, Chain, Flowers, Raceway, and Rocket Ship.  Even preschoolers will enjoy these games!  There are also games listed for Intermediate and Advanced skill levels, as well as the Stallion Challenge - the full size chess board versions of the game, all based of course on the famous knight's tour.

Crazy Knights is as educational as it is fun.  It will help teach players to plan their knight moves more precisely when playing an actual game of chess.  Best yet, if you write to John, he'll send you a free one-puzzle demo of Crazy Knights.

Recommended Minimum System Requirements: Windows Based Operating System (Windows 98 or later - although they have tested it on Windows 95 with 16 MB of RAM, the games took twice as long to load but played OK), 128 MB RAM, 50 MB Hard Drive space, CD-ROM Drive.

For more information, and to receive your demo puzzle, visit Crazy Knights today, or in the USA call 1-732-329-1315.  And if you talk to John, please tell him I was just kidding, and to please send me the solution to the Butterfly puzzle, before those guys in the white coats manage to break through the door...
