Hoyle Board Games 2003

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.

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

Better games in this version than in the 2005 version, especially the MahJongg layouts. It's hard to find the 2003 version, but well worth it if you can.

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

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.

Awesome and lots of fun

I just got the game today and my 8 yr old son and I are having a ball. This is exactly what I was looking for. Had I known about it sooner, I would've ordered it. The main reason I bought this was because members of my family (up to 4 people) can play the games against each other instead of always playing against the computer like other board games cd-roms. Of course you still have the option of playing against the computer too. I don't know if Hoyle Table Games 2004 has the same capability. The graphics are sensational. They really look like the real board games. My son got a kick out of the noises it makes. Before purchasing, I tried desperately to find out exactly what games were on it and couldn't. So for those interested some of the games it has are Backgammon, Battling Ships, Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Dominoes, Double Cross, Mahjong, Mancala, Pachisi, Reversi, Rummy Squares, and Yacht, all are my favorites. Installation is simple and the Face Creator is so cool. No regrets here.

Fun to the last piece

Overall I've been very amused by this game. Games included were chess, checkers, chinese checkers, pachsi, dominoes, backgammon, mancala, snakes & ladders, zen bones, reversi, line 'em up, plane racer, and battling ships (AKA battleship with awesome screen effects). Some characters were annoying but I liked the T-Rex a lot. The ability levels were pretty good. Great screen effects and nice background music.

Amazing how technology has allowed us to play games, we once played in our childhood with our family and friends on the computer. Putting these games on cd was ingenious. Why? With boardgames, you tend to lose pieces, board gets damage, 'wear and tare'. But on the computer, futhermore on a cd, it can last, twice as long as in your childhood. The characters are hilarious and give you a certain edge, to want to beat them. I especially like Elayne. I would recommend this particular game to anyone. Never regretted buying it. It challenges me to do better and better each time i play!!! Even if you don't know, or can't remember how to play, there is a manual, teaching you, step by step the rules and the way to play. Again, i would highly recommend it, for anyone who is considering purchasing games for their self and their kids, even friends.
