HANGMAN (ATARI 2600)

Hangman is an electronic version of the game Hangman! Your goal is to figure out a computer-generated word by guessing one letter at a time. Guess a letter correctly and it will appear on the screen in the correct position, but if you guess a letter that isn't in the word, you're about to be suspended. Guess eleven letters incorrectly and the game is over. One point is earned for each word completed. Several difficulty settings are included that affect the number of letters in words. The game can be played by one or two players, and in the two-player version, words can optionally be created by one of the players instead of the computer.
