A collection of 4 ancient puzzles. Excellent graphics. Run Orient.exe to begin.

LEAP FROG

The object is to remove, by jumping over adjacent pieces, all except ONE of the pegs from the board. The last peg must be located at the upper left-hand corner of the board.

Each move must be a jump over an ADJACENT peg, either in a horizontal or vertical direction. To move a peg, place the cursor over it and then click and hold the mouse button down. Drag the peg over an adjacent piece and onto an empty square. Release the mouse button (jumped pegs are automatically removed by the computer).

ROUND ABOUT

The object is to turn over all except one of the Mahjong tiles. To begin, click on any of the tiles - a boarder will appear around the selected tile. Count- ing this tile as 1, and counting clockwise, locate the fourth tile (the cursor will change into a cross to inform you that you are now over the fourth tile). Click on this tile and it will turn over, revealing the face of the Mahjong tile. Continue this sequence of clicking on the first and fourth tile of each sequence until all the tiles except one are face up. To unselect a chosen tile, simply double-click on it.

BAMBOO

OBJECTIVE: Bamboo is an ancient "cat and mouse" strategy game. The object of the game is to avoid being captured by your computer opponent (represented by the YELLOW peg). If you have not yet been captured by the eighteenth (18) computer move, you will have won the game.

SIX TILES

The object is to rearrange the tiles into numerical order, with the one, two and three in the top row, and four, five and six in the bottom row.
