I constantly play this game. The characters are almost alive, and they insult you at every opportunity.

This game is absolutely ter-riffic! The drawback is that it is only partially compatible with the new Vista Operating System. You are unable to get the official rules for the game or connect to other online players. It is not the fault of the game, it is the failure of the Vista System. Still, for solitaire play it is more than adequate.

Very disappointed because there was no index of the games included on this disk.

Rigged games

The programmers for Sierra Entertainment which produced this game, have a warped sense of "sadistic" humor. Many of the games are rigged, especially the backgammon game. The dice does not generate "random" numbers, but is coded to ensure the computer "opponent" always wins under certain configurations. My advice: Look elsewhere. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK.

I enjoy Hoyle Board Games 2004 better than previous versions. Would recommend it to anyone (if you can find this version anymore).

The Hoyle Board Games 2003 is good for the money. Like to play computer games with a challenge, this is the one for you. It would also be good if you can have an archive of games. The older versions are still good to play too!

Great Fun! Before you know it, an hour is gone!

This is a great bunch of games! The game, Gravity Tiles, is a great game. By far my favorite! You will sit down to play one game, and find yourself hooked, and almost late for work if you aren't careful! I love the Face Maker. I made a face that was pretty close to my own! Bump Em is a fun game as well, and resembles Pachisi (which is also available to play). Well worth the price!

Mac users take note!

As a Mac user, I was very disappointed to find out that these games are not native under MacOS X. It'll be two years in March that OSX was released, and the folks doing Mac development for Hoyle are way behind the curve. It's not going to be sufficient to keep cranking out slightly different Hoyle games each year so long as OSX support is missing.

All that aside, the net play is misleading, to say the least. The games in the package do not allow for net play. Rather, it launches a website that has a selection of games, some very different from those in this set. Furthermore, small print on the back of the box again adds disappointment for Mac users - the web site does not allow Mac users to play.
