5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Remake, June 20, 2005

This review is from: Handmark Monopoly/Scrabble/Battleship/Yahtzee Game Pack on SD/MMC Card (CD-ROM)

This little card is an excellent way to kill a lot of time.

Pro:
-Monopoly games run quicker than dealing with your buddies trying to figure out if 10% or $200 is cheaper when landing on "income tax."
-Battleship is decent, also runs faster than the box version.
-Scrabble is really good, although it seems to allow a lot of abbreviations (e.g. 'bro' for brother) which I never would have thought legal.
-Scrabble dictionary can be handy as an actual (but basic) dictionary
-Yahtzee plays well too
-All games are true to their rule books (Monopoly allows for some popular variants).
-Came on a CD, so little risk of losing the files
-Came with a memory card so you can load the games onto it or you can put them on the internal drive (recommended)
-Fun to play by yourself or against someone else
-No crashes so far, ever, years later

Con:
-Battleship is a little too easy to win when playing the computer
-Games have no undo feature, especially critical for Yahtzee where the scoring screen is very crowded
-Some difficulty with the install (activation using the password). For a few of the games the password screen was scrambled... all the functionality was there so I used "good guesses" and was successful at activation, based on the two of the four games that installed properly

Bottom line: I play these all the time and highly recommend this item. Be patient if you have install issues, it is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Value - great for travellers, August 21, 2005

This review is from: Handmark Monopoly/Scrabble/Battleship/Yahtzee Game Pack on SD/MMC Card (CD-ROM)

I recently bought a PalmOne PDA solely for the purpose of entertainment when travelling. Since I love Scrabble, I was ecstatic to see that it was available for the PDA. I bought this four game combination in case I ever get bored with Scrabble. I have read other reviews that voiced various complaints about Scrabble for PDA. They may have been based on earlier versions. This version is the full 15 x 15 board. I have only played one game (I beat the computer) but I did not run into any incidents of the computer "cheating." The graphics are incredibly sharp and legible - this was my biggest concern.

All four games appear to be true to the originals and wonderfully legible.

All in all, a great purchase for anyone on the go!

The only "problem" was when trying to play a game with someone else who had a device and that was not a problem once we figured out the devices need to be aimed directly at each other. Well worth the money and loads of fun!
