Intellectual Decathlon
Intellectual Decathlon is a 1984 computer game for the Apple II. It is a multiplayer game which includes various events based on memory, pattern and logic puzzles. "Intellectual Decathlon" was written by Gabor and Alexander Laufer, and published by Muse Software. Gameplay. The game consists of ten different sub-games which aim to test different aspects of the human intelligence. The score is structured similar to an Olympic decathlon. A player's final score is the total of the ten individual events: There is a practice mode, where each of the ten events can be practiced separately from  a competition. While it is a game for 2–6 players, and the 2 players setup is the most recommended, one player can play the game. In that case the goal is not to defeat the other player, but simply score higher than before. In the PC Apple emulator-based "Intellectual Decathlon", Mazerace was replaced with an event called Verdict Guilty. Five imaginary criminals are sitting at the police station, all five arrested. Only one committed a crime the other four are innocent. They keep talking to each other and the player has to figure out which of the five is  the guilty one and what the crime he committed. Reception. "Intellectual Decathlon" was recommended by "Scouting" magazine. Bruce Brown found the events to be challenging and diverse, making fair use of graphics and color.
