 Word Radar is an arcade-like educational game created for children between first and sixth grade. The player controls a radar scope on which a group of words is displayed and then hidden by white bands. Then, the radar beam starts to loop in the scope while the player attempts to match the hidden words to each word displayed at the bottom of the scope. The player moves the word viewer which uncovers the hidden words. Then, the player fires at a matching word to score a hit. If the fired upon a word isn't a match, the shot is scored as a miss. The player can use either the keyboard on the TI-99/4A or a joystick controller to operate the game.
