Guess The Animal is an early A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) type game (another famous one is Eliza). The game starts with a couple of animals in it's built in database and some unique physical characteristics to help the program identity them. The player then thinks of an animal, and the computer does some guessing of physical attributes to identify it. If it fails, it asks for a unique physical characteristic to differentiate it. The longer the game has played, the more intelligent it becomes as more animals and descriptions of them are added.
Soon after it's release, this game was optionally sold as part of a 2 game A.I. bundle, along with Body (Bawdy) Parts which works much the same but is about body parts rather than animals.
