Hangman is an early example of the famous word game for a personal computer. It was released in 1978, as the same time as other versions for early micro-computers or first videogame systems like Atari VCS, APF MP1000 or Channel F.

It is not the first ever version of Hangman videogame, as it can be found on many mainframes or time-sharing systems in the 60s and 70s.

This Compucolor version is nice with a big drawn and colourful hangman. It uses words stored in files on disk.

This disk also contained two other games: Math Tutor and Two To Ten.
