Rating: - I Love these BOARD Games!!!
I had paid for and downloaded this game many years back "Hoyle Classic Board & Card Games" but found I lost it when getting a new PC. I looked for it with no success. I was so happy when I stumbled upon this at Fryes Electronics, I could not wait to get on Amazon or half.com to price it. I got the game and I was so happy to see many of the same characters and the same formats. I was disappointed that there was no card games included, but overall, I'm very pleased!!
Rating: - Great Escape!
The "Tile Games" in this edition are a lot of fun. What's nice is there are several ways to play them. Our 19 year-old grandson enjoyed it so much, I had to order him one, too. What we liked the most was the "Slide Tiles." It's very addictive. Rummy Squares is also a good one. Any "Seniors" out there would enjoy this, but it's also fun for the teenagers. My recommendation is Go For It.!
Rating: - HOYLE PUZZLE GAMES
This product is absolutely fantastic! I have Microsoft Vista and this was easy to install. I have had hours and hours of pleasure with the great assortment of games. I also have the Hoyle cards games and I would recommend this too.
Rating: - Know way of knowing
The disc was empty so I was unable to install or use it. The seller would not respond to my emails or snail mails. I also left a bad review with Amazon for the sale. I really wanted this game disc, but am reluctant to make further purchases, since this was a total waste of money. I am bitterly disappointed through no fault of Hoyle.
Rating: - Many many many bugs - don't even bother buying
There are quite a number of bugs in this game. The most noticeable ones are:
1) In chess, the game will frequently end on a 3x repetition when this has not occurred (and usually when pounding the computer)! Come on - it gave me that once after I captured a piece!
2) In pachisi, it is very difficult to move the pieces - it frequently does not register where you have dropped it.
3) Many of the Hoyle Bucks goals do not register when they occur.
