the last word is a quotations trivia game in which one to four players compete against each other and their own high scores in identifying the sources of quotations and completing partial quotes. Most answers are entered free-form and are matched against a set of acceptable responses with a sophisticated pattern-recognition algorithm. the last word was featured as one of the best games of the year in PC Computing's Dec. 1991 issue which called it "a nice break from less thoughtful, shoot-'em-up action games." You don't need a Pentium to run this game with acceptable performance; even an 8088 (remember those?) will do. (The "full" version (i.e. the registered version from this program's shareware days) is now posted here.)
