Worldwide CRACK Highscore 

Your comments, Remarks, Feedback

This program is very simple but powerful. It just provides arithmetic tasks to be solved. These tasks begin very simple. The better you are the harder the tasks will be.

If you are good, you can reach the Worldwide Highscore, accompanied by the worlds best.

It's so easy

After you have started the system, click the left mouse button and you get the main menu. It's in german, but easy to understand and you can just try it out. The most easiest way to come staight to the game is to press the RETURN-button repeatedly. When the program asks for your name, enter it and continue with RETURN

How to join the Worlds Best

You can reach the Worldwide Highscore by sending the highscore file CRACK.SC to Jlichtenfels@gmx.de. This file is located in the directory where you have downloaded and extracted the content of the CRACK.ZIP file.

Some useful hints

• Installation: Download the zip-file, extract all files in one directory. Either start crack.exe directly from there or create a short-cut of crack.exe within this directory, copy it to the desktop and start CRACK there.  
• Before you start, make sure that the 'Num-Block' at the right of you keyboard is activated - press the button 'Num Lock' to do so! 
• The calculation itself is supported by easy understandable diagrams. Just press the BLANK button followed by 'H' righ after the task is displayed.  
• A german description of the program can be reached from the main menu  
• You can add your own sounds to the system. Just record the sound (*.wav) and add the enter the filename in the file CRACK.INI. An example is already provided.  

What else?

This program will never change. Development was completed in 1996. Its by far not perfect and especially for the kids the operation could have been made much nicer. Nevertheless many kids and adults had already a lot of fun with it. Give it a try. I am looking forward to receiving your feedback
