Devine (Thomson TO)

Devine is a simple educational game about guessing obscured sentences in as few tries as possible.

Commented-Out Lines#

The game's BASIC files contains several commented lines. They are present in the TO9/TO8/TO9+ disk version from the Logiciels Nathan Ecoles : Français compilations, and not in the Thomson MO5 tape release. Currently, it's not possible to verify the Thomson TO7 tape release, as it has not been dumped.
