For under 10 bucks you can't beat this collection of games. There are lots of different solitaire games, and many other miscellaneous games to pass the time. Great for those times when you're stuck waiting in the doctor's office or the checkout line. The collection includes lots of classic graphic games like Astroids, Froggy, Space Invaders, Flytrap, Pong, and so on, and more card games than you can shake a stick at, ranging from Crazy 8's, where you can have up to four players with the computer playing the other hands against you, to Cuarenta, a solitaire game I wasn't familiar with. There are many different types of solitaire. Altogether a pretty cool collection to fill those dull moments. The individual games don't take up much memory usually, but it you want to load many of them at once, make sure you have enough memory. One of the Palm's minor merits (among many, is that it doubles as a Gameboy, in addition to its organizer function, which probably makes it one of the most useful inventions of the 20 century.

After playing one of the games for a little while, you get messages constantly popping up saying "If you want to continue playing, send money to ...". If you look at the back of the package, in fine print it says something about all of the games being "Trialware" or something like that.

I was disappointed when I found out many of the games require registering to get a fully functioning version. This should be clearly marked on the packaging and in all descriptions. I was going to say "you get what you pay for," but there are some great freeware apps out there for Palm. Search the 'Net!

I was very disappointed in this product! Most were shareware games that you would eventually have to purchase. Of the 100 "Great Games" I actually used less than a half dozen. Why pay for a procuct like this when you can go to a web site like ZD Net and download them for free. This was a real waste of money!

This package has some really cool games and utilities. BUT: certain applications will only run for 14-15 days unless you register and PAY for the application on a website. IE: Infared remote control for VCR, TV, CD, DVD, will only run the TV unless you pay $20.00 at a website. I gave it three stars because it does have some neat games and utilites. All in all, it is pretty nice.

For those of you who are old enough, remember the video game Pong? It was much more fun that this CD. If you want good quality games that are ready to go and have minimal aggravation to load, then don't buy this item. The potential 'good' ones on this CD require more money to be coughed up to activate fully. And the games that don't fit this category would'nt keep a 3yr old entertained. There's just something distasteful about charging for a product that instantly will cost you more money just to get it working fully. So don't waste your money on this one.

This CD has lots of games. There is something for everyone. Some games are lame. Some are hot. Unfortunately, many of the hot games are just trial versions and they won't last forever for free. You'll have to register(and pay$) if you want to keep going.

I have really enjoyed this product. I love playing all these games on my palm pilot. I am really impressed with it. The only thing I am not happy about is that many of the games require you to register for extra money to get the full version. Other then that, I recomend buying this game pack.

I purchased this for my husband, and he thought it was great. The only draw back are alot of the games are not the normal type you would play so they just go to waste. But other than that it was worth it for the price.

Great set of games for the Palm compatible smart phone.
