1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Windows, February 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tetris Classic Game Pak 9 Classic Games Including Tetris (CD-ROM)

Despite what the description here says, this program is not actually for Windows -- it is for Palm PDA's. It comes on a CD, and you need Windows to install it on the Palm, but the games will not run on your Windows-based PC. It sounds like a fine program for PDA's, and I look forward to trying it on my Palm, but that's not what this listing says.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY IT - IT'S A RIP OFF!, May 31, 2004

I would have given this product 0 stars if I could.

Save yourself the money, and the hassle, it's a rip off.

You're not buying games, you're buying demos.

Most of the demos you have 3 days from when you install it to try it out. If you want to play it after that - you have to buy it.

They give you a "serial number" but it doesn't work with any of the games - not even Tetris.

I checked all over the packaging to see if there was any mention of it being all demos - nothing.

I looked through the documentation, nothing about demos - nothing about any "real" serial numbers.

I emailed the company - through their support website - asking what was up - I haven't heard anything back.

Oh, yeah, I also checked out their website - there's nothing there regarding these things being demos - or putting in real serial numbers.

Save yourself the time, money and headache - don't buy this product. You can just as easily goto the various companies websites and purchase it straight from them, and then you won't be out the $20 or so you spent for a garbage cd and some packaging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works just fine for me., March 30, 2005

The people who are having problems entering their serial numbers should try calling customer services. Mine works just fine.

Tetris: How can you argue with Tetris? It was my main reason for buying it and it was worth it.

Solitaire: I already had this same program from elsewhere. Like Klondike, love Canfield, but the tableau for Forty Thieves is too small.

Poker Dice: Bo-o-oring. Doing it with real dice is funner.

Backgammon: I can't find a computer version that can give me a good game. At least this one doesn't cheat. (Some programs cheat. I can beat them anyway.)

Colors: I don't know what it is with this game. I don't particularly like it, but I can't put it down.
