Hangman States for Windows is a variation of the classic hangman word-guessing game, dedicated to the learning of all 50 States in the United States of America. Not only will you learn about the 50 States, but you'll also learn about the State Birds, State Capitals, State Flowers, State Nicknames, and State Trees. Hangman States is easy to play, and fun for all ages. Letters can be chosen using the mouse or the keyboard.

Hangman States is a secretly-educational game. Without even knowing it, you'll find yourself learning an astounding amount of information about all 50 US States.

The above (reduced size) picture shows a game already in progress. The results of the previous game (Texas) remains displayed, until the current game is finished. Then, a picture and information about the next guessed item will appear. Hmmmm, I wonder what that will be. Can you guess?

Hangman States is a geographical, colorful, educational game with digitized sound effects, non-violent graphics, a little cultural literacy, and whole lot more. The perfect game for the home and school. It's available now for a free 10-Day Trial.

Requirements: Hangman States requires a typical Windows machine (95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP, Vista) with screen resolution of 800x600, or more. (A similar version for the Macintosh is also available.)

Version 1.0.0 - Released February 21, 2007 - Hangman States is a drastically reduced-price version of an older program known as States3001.

• "I just downloaded Hangman Plus v4.0 and can't keep my students away from it."
• "Thanks for the great game (Hangman Plus). I tutor children and use the customization feature to reinforce lessons."
• "I can hardly wait until my granddaughter is old enough to play this game with me."
• "It brings back memories of the days I played Hang Man on the chaulkboards of the public school. Our whole family enjoys your game and have competitions with one another over who can get the most words correct without getting hung, and we're learning something at the same time! We have a daughter with special needs, who really enjoys and benefits from this game. She loves word games, and your game motivates her to use the computer more."
• "I highly enjoy your game (on computers) Hangman. I highly play it everyday."
• "Hangman Plus is wonderful! My students love it and the customizing has really helped introduce new vocabulary in a non-threatening environment! Thank You!"
• "We are using it with some of our students who need a little help with their English, and have found they enjoy learning when they think it is just a game."
• "It's lots of fun and I am especially appreciative as the game works well with some of my students. I am a music therapist and I work primarily on a private basis with handicapped students. On their behalf, thank you."
• "Procol Harum ruined my winning streak on the music category of your Hangman Plus, but I won't hold it against you...Truth told: I haven't been so glued to the monitor since way back when Zork was first out...Thanks for making Hangman Plus concise, clever, full of neat sound effects (-and especially for resisting the urge to have Vanna White spin the letters around when you guess them correctly!)...Hangman Plus is gritty, fun, and best of all - IT ROCKS!...P.S. Who ARE Procol Harum anyhow? Was I born before or after their finest hour?"
• "I love your game! Especially the sounds! That laugh. Great! Is it yours?"

• "I'm a Mac user and I have one of your games called Hangman and I liked some of the graphics and now I have a suggestion for you. This suggestion might be hard. Anyways I know there are a lot of games for a computers and there are games for Nintendo, Sega and Super Initendo, So my suggestion is a new game for the Mac. I'm sure you've heard of Mortal Kombat a game children love for Sega and Super Nintendo and I know you've help make games and I've wondered if it would be possible for you to be able to make a game such as Mortal Kombat for a Mac. I am sure you think that it would be hard work and believe me it probably is. Well don't want to waste most of your time so I'll go. Write back if you have time. P.S. If you do make the game do you think I could have a copy."
