Hangman is a software title created by Milton Bradley for the TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A home computer system, as part of Milton Bradley's Gamevision series of games. It has two part numbers, one from Milton Bradley (MB 4966) and one from later on when Texas Instruments (TI) took over production and distribution of the title (PHM 3037). It was released during the third quarter of 1979 and was distributed on Solid State SoftwareTM Command Module.

Gameplay

Just like playing Hangman with pen and paper or chalk and chalkboard, this cartridge allows players to guess letters to discover hidden words and phrases. Correct guesses keep the player safe and help him/her guess what the hidden word or message is by filling in the missing letters. However, if the player makes a wrong guess, it adds another portion of the player in the noose and one step closer to his/her demise.

Fun Fact

Hangman was part of Milton Bradley's Gamevision series that was created to coincide with the release of the TI-99/4 in 1979. Other titles in the Gamevision series include Connect Four, Yahtzee, ZeroZap, Card Sharp, and Stratego.
