Hoyle Puzzle Games,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games 2008 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
Excellent collection of puzzles...great audio and video effects, and the games are simple enough for general usage and complex enough for interest and stimulation.
ONLY negative is that when activated the games take over your entire screen, and cannot be "reduced" to run in background.

This review is from: Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games 2008 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
I've never bought Hoyle software before, but this package offers mucho bang for the buck, given that most downloadable shareware games are $20 per game. There are several addictive games in here, and they run flawlessly on my Mac Pro as well as my G4.
I have only 3 complaints in order of increasing importance: 1. The graphics are quite low-res and lack the beauty of many of the new games for Mac that adopt the elegant graphical style of the OS. 2. The rules for all the games are in a single pdf file, so if you click on rules, you have to wait for a pdf reader to load and then search a large document to find your game. 3. There's little progression in games as you play longer and better. There are high scores in a menu, but each game is basically the same thing over and over, so you never get a sense of progressing through higher levels. Some games have more difficult levels to choose from, but if you select a certain level and play for an hour, you get no sense in terms of points or levels reached that you've accomplished anything. But if you want a large variety of mindless games for your Mac, there is no better deal than this.

This review is from: Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games 2008 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
I've loved the Hoyle game series (Card Games, Casino, and Puzzle & Board Games)for many years. But, the last Mac versions were released in 2002 and were only compatible with OS 9. These older versions were still playable on pre-Intel Macs, but the newer Macs with Intel chips no longer have compatibility with pre-Mac OS X software.
Finally, the long wait is over and new versions of the excellent Hoyle Games are available for today's Mac users! :-)
