**What sets *CODEBREAKER!* apart from all those *other* Apple-1 titles?**
* *A true random number generator!* Using cycle counting while waiting for keystrokes generates a very random number. No need for seeds and no cheating possible (unless you hack the code :-).
* *A countdown timer!* Using the 960 KHz clock of the Apple-1, *CODEBREAKER* can countdown the *Master* level with sub-second accuracy. If you really want to stress yourself out, play as a *Master*. ***You've got 60 seconds or you fail!***
