Pertascii is a multiplayer client/server word game for the Tandy Color Computer running the OS9 operating system.

The game is played in rounds. Each player receives the same set of ten to thirteen letters, and forms words of three or more letters. At the end of each round, the game eliminates all words formed by two or more players, and allows players to challenge each others words. Pertascii scores the remaining words based on word length, and another round begins. The first player to reach a predetermined score wins. [source:mobygames]
