I've released many games for the Mac and Windows over the last 40 years or so. Some of these Hangman and Brickles games were first written about a year after the first Macintosh's were released. I've tried to update the games through the years to keep them working through all sorts of changes to the Mac hardware and Operating Systems, yet the games still retain the same 40-year old flavor of the original games.

It has been one of the great pleasures of my life to get all the positive feedback from customers about these games. I love it when I hear from users who say they grew up on these games and are now introducing them to their own kids. I hope you will continue to enjoy these games.

Hangman Pro for Macintosh and Windows

MACINTOSH WINDOWS

A reduced screenshot of Hangman Pro for the Macintosh

Hangman Pro is a modern take on the classic hangman game, the same one we all played when we were kids, on paper or on the blackboard at school. Hangman Pro is the classic word-guessing game. Hangman Pro is easy to play, and fun for all ages. Letters can be chosen using the mouse or the keyboard. Words can be selected from dozens of built-in categories, or you can enter your own words, or even enter whole vocabulary lists from school. Hangman Pro is a colorful, educational game with digitized sound effects, speech, non-violent graphics, a little cultural literacy, and whole lot more. Non-violent, family software at its best.

In addition to the standard 1-Paddle game, you can also choose a 2-Paddle or 4-Paddle game if you are up for a larger challenge. Choose a very slow speed while learning how to play the 2 and 4 paddle games. They are indeed challenging!

Note: The Old Brickles Pro Online Hall of Fame Scoreboard

In days (decades!) past, Brickles Pro included support for an online hall of fame scoreboard where local high scores (on your computer) could be shared with others around the world. In preparation for a new version of Brickles Pro, the Online scoreboard has been temporarily shut down. (Your local in-game Hall of Fame Scoreboard still exists as always.)

All shared Online High Scores over the years have been archived to honor those players who worked so hard to add their names to the Brickles Pro Online Hall of Fame. The First Archive includes scores from 1985 through mid-July of 2009. The Second Archive includes scores from mid-July of 2009 through mid-November 2016.
