Denomino

Denomino is a video game in the puzzle genre originally released in 1997. It is currently playable on DOS.

Denomino is a single player word building game for DOS.

In this game the player uses dominoes to build words. Each tile contains two pairs of letters. The player builds words by placing his tile next to an existing tile so that one or more four-letter words are formed. The game is played on a twelve by twelve grid. Scoring is based on tile values and whether the tile covers a bonus square. The game is controlled entirely with the mouse. The tiles are dragged and dropped onto the playing area. The right mouse button moves the tile vertically, while the left mouse button rotates the tile 90 degrees so that it can be dropped horizontally.

There are three types of game available: the solitaire game, in which the player plays alone to place a fixed number of tiles on the board, the game against the computer to place a fixed number of tiles on the board, and the game against the computer with no tile limit. In this game the player can choose between three levels of intelligence for the computer opponentAll the player's moves must be made within a time limit. The game saves the sixty best scores of the players for each type of game.

Other features of the game are its musical soundtrack, a 'Peek' button (which shows the player a possible next move, although it costs points when used) and a 'Pass this turn' button.

The registered version of the game promises 'unlimited access to all game features', plus a head-to-head mode with the computer and 'other variations'.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
