I DO (Acornsoft/Ivan Berg) - Game Screenshot

Description:

A big box package featuring a suite of programs designed to tell if you, and your current partner, will get along if you take the big step towards either living together or getting married. A range of scales designed to measure specific character traits, including masculinity and femininity, which were designed in the 1980's and provide some fascinating social comment now.

Released by Acornsoft/Ivan Berg

Library

Acorn Electron World is organised into distinct sections, to make it as easy as possible for you to explore all of it and locate any resource you require.
