Town is a simulation of a journey from home to town to meet some friends. The player has a fixed sum of money and has arranged to meet friends at a set time. On the journey to meet the friends there are a number of incidents which demand a reaction. Some incidents are random, as are the results of certain reactions, others are pre-programmed. After working through the program a summary of the journey is presented and a questionnaire, based on the journey, is produced. This pack is aimed at primary/middle school children and includes support materials which show how the program can be integrated into areas of the school curriculum.

This software is a copy and has a photocopied manual, but unfortunately there is no information on the programmer, publisher, or date.
