Garfield: Eat Your Words

Garfield: Eat Your Words is a word-guessing game for the Apple II.

Garfield has been put on a diet by his owner Jon Arbuckle, much to the displeasure of the obese cat. As a part of the challenge, the player must attempt to guess words. The player is given a topic, and the number of blanks, and letters begin to fill in one-by-one. The player can ring in at any time to try to guess the word, but if they don't guess correctly before the word is 75% filled, they lose. If the player loses, Garfield gets to eat dessert and gains weight, but if the player wins, Garfield eats vegetables and loses weight instead, with faster answers causing Garfield to lose even more weight. At the end of each word, Garfield goes to a weigh-in. If at the end of the 5 rounds, Garfield has overall lost weight, the player wins.
