What our customer's say!"A Compromise", I had ordered Handmark SCRABBLE/MONOPOLY CD FOR PALMOS from OfficeDepot, but they didn't have it so they sent me this game instead... without contacting me. They don't offer refunds to amazon.com customers but if I can catch it before someone at home opens the box, I can "refuse shipment" aka, take it to a UPS store and have them send it back.
I came here to see if it was worth the 21.95 that I paid for the monopoly game. It sounds like it might be a good solitare game, so I might keep in instead of driving to the UPS store, but I still don't have the product I wanted which makes this game less fun for me.
To sum up, buy this game if it sounds good to you, but if you have to go through Office Depot / Tech Depot (same store) be warned you might not get what you expect.
"a review about the actual games", Perhaps frustrations with a particular vendor would be better addressed to that vendor, not under the guise of a one-star rating for a product never seen or used...
Now - for those of you who want to know about these solitaire games... if you like playing 'card deck' solitaire games you'll enjoy this cdrom. The exact games you get will depend on whether you're loading this onto a Palm device or a PocketPC unit. Here's what you get with each:
POCKET PC - Black Hole, Block Ten, Carpet, Criss Cross, Five Piles, Free Cell, Golf, Monte Carlo, Pyramid, Pyramid Golf, Sir Tommy, Triangle, Twenty-one, Vanishing Cross, Vertical
PALM OS - Aces High, Black Hole, Bristol, Calculation, Canfield, Carpet, Eight Off, 20 Thieves, Free Cell, Golf, Klondike, Montana, Poker Square, Pyramid, Spiderette
BONUS GAMES (Palm OS Only) - Multi-player versions of War and Hearts.
I personally like that this same cdrom works with both Palm and PocketPC handheld units - when I recently switched from one system to the other, I didn't lose my entire investment in the add-on software I purchased for the first unit. Enjoy!
