Blurbs about "ChipWits" by Doug Sharp and Mike Johnston
from Discerning Computer Magazines
- "ChipWits is a program that every Mac user should have." Byte Product of the
Month review
- "If you have only one entertainment/educational program in the disk cabinet next to
your Macintosh, ChipWits should be it." Icon Review magazine review
- "ChipWits is an excellent game, both in concept and implementation."
COMPUTE!'s Gazette review
- "A fantastic program that is as educational as it is entertaining... Hands-on trial
and error environment combined with attractive screens and animation create a world where
playing and learning become (as they should be) one and the same." 5-star INFO64
review
- "We described ChipWits as a 'revolutionary' game package, and we think that when
you see it you will agree. However, it's more than just a game, it's 'edutainment' at its
best. In our opinion, the program is so innovative that it overleaps other education and
game packages in the same manner that Filevision brought new concepts to the 'data base
jungle'. We predict without hesitation that ChipWits will become a cult favorite among
Macintosh users and their children of whatever age." The MACazine review
- "... so much fun you won't even realize you've been educated until you leave the
environment. Young or old will delight in this educational treat." The MACazine Best
of '85 Award blurb
- "IBOL is nearly perfect introduction to programming for nonprogrammers."
MacUser 5-mouse review
- "ChipWits from BrainPower is the best, certainly most enjoyable, introduction to
programming concepts that we've seen. Its icon based language is wonderfully innovative,
and the program's design is both refreshing and highly educational." MacUser's Editor's
Choice 1985 Award
- "ChipWits is delightful and delightfully easy to use... I found ChipWits to be
highly educational as well as highly entertaining... I also found ChipWits to be very
challenging and even addictive on the more difficult play levels.... It's an excellent
program that teaches by osmosis..." Commodore Power/Play review
- "Not too many reviews come with a guarantee, but this one guarantees that if you
like programming, you'll love ChipWits." MacWorld review
