I have had the old verion of the Radica Freecell game for about 12 months, but wished it lit up in the dark. Hey presto, someone must have heard me and now my husband is even closer to divorcing me- (only joking. He says he won't, providing I keep the sound effects turned off!) This new upgraded model of the game is SUPERB especially with the 'low light' feature. Now I can be antisocial day or night!!! Joking aside, the cards are much easier to read, the scroll up and down buttons are far more easy to handle than the original 'roller' and the buttons are much bigger which makes the chances of mistakes fewer. On the next upgrade, is there any chance of an 'undo last move' button to reduce the curse words when I mess up????

I have a few of these handheld games and I'm a big fan. This one has a big screen which is nice because it holds so many cards. I love that the light comes on if it's too dark! That's a great feature. I've only had this a few days but it took me no time to adjust to it. It is a little different from the computer but if you're a free cell junkie it won't take long to be hooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Fun to Use - Scoring a Problem, August 12, 2006

I bought this game two weekends ago and have had both fun and frustration with it. I'm a Freecell junkie and have gone so far as to download a better version (more games) than the one that came with my computer. I lost track of how many total games I've played over the years since I've used several computers, but I play about 10 games a day on average. I'm very competitive and love keeping track of my stats. Unfortunately, that is the weakness of this version of the game. For example, if you get into a position were you can move only one card back and forth between two columns and there are no other moves, all you can do is hit the replay button or move on to another game. If you hit the replay button you don't get a loss recorded, which of course you should. Consequently, it is easy to run up a high win percentage with this version of the game just by resigning a game when you think you are going to loose and replay it. Then when you finally win, you get credit for a win. Of course, that is not proper scoring either. Also, there is a key combination that when you do lose a game outright and want to replay, you don't get any further losses counted against you. That's as it should be. The only problem is that key combination is very flaky and doesn't always work. Other than scoring inconsistencies, it's a great game! It's very easy to use. Although different to use than playing with a mouse on your computer, if you've played a lot on your computer you'll pick up the operation of this version almost immediately. The display is large and easy to see, and there is a low light level sensor on the front that will automatically light the screen when you are playing in an area with poor lighting. That is a great feature. I love playing this game while sitting in the airport waiting to board a plane and on the plane itself while in the air. It's a great and challenging way to pass the time away if you like playing solitaire. On the next version of this game, I hope they will beef up the statistics capabilities of the unit.
