5.0 out of 5 stars Great & Addictive Word Game, December 10, 2000

Originally released by Milton Bradley as a new type of board game in the mid-1980's, "Upwords" is an interesting word game much in the same tradition as Scrabble. The only thing different is that the player is able to stack tiles on top of other tiles to create words. Hence, that is where the game gets its' title.

I recently purchased this game to see how it differs from the original board version, and it is pretty much the same in game play, with the exception of the tiles and board itself. If you're an individual who loves addictive word games such as Scrabble or crossword puzzles, than "Upwords" should be added to your software library. It is great, addictive, and entertaining and I can guarantee that you'll enjoy playing against others (or the computer itself). Hasbro Interactive has produced yet another winner in their popular board games-turned-computer games (e.g. "Life"; "Jeopardy"; "Candy Land"; etc..)series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game!, April 10, 2001

I received this game as a value pak bonus with the scrabble game received as a birthday present. Having never played the original board game version, it looked intriguing, and like scrabble, it translates well to the PC.

Amazingly, this is not an easy game, is as tough as scrabble, and sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But as a fan of word games, this is one of my favorites.

All-in-all, a great game. If you like scrabble, you'll really enjoy this. Worth Buying!

4.0 out of 5 stars It runs on Windows Vista!, February 25, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Upwords (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

I've had this CD game since Win98 and found it totally addictive. When I upgraded to newer versions of Windows (ME, 2000, then XP), I found that the game would not run on these operating systems.

I recently upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium and decided to try the CD one more time. I opted to set the compatibility for the game's .exe to Windows 98 and big surprise, the game plays wonderfully!

Just thought I'd let every fan of Upwards PC know this.
