1. Brain Cell Description
-------------------------
Brain Cell is a logic puzzle game. 

In the standard puzzles, there are 5 people of various heights, weights, ages, etc.
You must use the clues provided to determine what order they are standing in
and the characteristics of each person. There are 10 levels of play. Infinite
puzzles may be generated at varying levels of difficulty. A unique twist to
this game, for the younger player, is that he or she may enter
his own names, ages, etc, which will then be used to generate the puzzles.

In addition, new to Brain Cell 3.0, puzzles of various sizes and subject-matter
may be downloaded from our web-site. You can even create your own Brain Cell
logic puzzles which may be uploaded to share with other Brain Cell players. 

There are two ways to play Brain Cell. In basic mode, you drag the answers
to their correct positions in the answer grid. In logic grid mode, you indicate
true and false situations in a logic grid.

Brain Cell is being distributed as shareware. You may distribute freely.
