"I got the 2005 version."
I got the 2005 version when I thought I had purchased the 2007 version from Amazon.
But no biggie.
The games are fun and I like the extra's on it like The Incredible Machines that works on XP.
I have the old Incredible Machines that still works but the computer's nowadays are too fast and the time is up before you blink once lol.
Anyways the 2005 Hoyle games has lots of games crammed into 2 discs and don't mind it is just the 2005 version.

"Rummy Squares & Yacht "
I thoroughly enjoy these games; plan to try to learn the other games on this disc later.

"Warning for Vista users"
Microsoft Vista users should know that, although the games work perfectly well in Vista, the help files do NOT work - they're apparently written in a very old Windows help format that is not supported in Vista. So, if you already know how to play the games, this is a lot of fun. If you need instructions, you're out of luck.

You can go to the Hoyle site and download the help files in pdf format. But then when you want help or instructions, you have to exit the Hoyle program and open acrobat reader to read them...not very convenient.

"Hoyle of course"
Hoyle has done it again-fun oldies and a lot of new ones. New characters too. I do miss the alien tho.

"Pachisi doesn't work"
I bought this game mainly for Pachisi, and it simply doesn't work. Can't move ANY of the pieces. Utterly unplayable.

I like the Zilch game, which was new to me.

The backgammon is good, but for some odd reason I get 6 or seven doubles all in a row and so does my computer partner. Kinda weird.

The AI on these games is very bad if you are playing against computer players. This games are much better if you play with a real person, taking turns - not using the AI characters.

The triple yacht is fun - you can play by yourself without using a computer character.

This is a good "try", but I wonder sometimes if game companies Actually TEST their product out on real people before releasing it to the public.
