PEKING
10
:
This is a board game, a classic chinese solitaire, in which we must try to eliminate, two by two, all the pieces. But a couple can be eliminated only if the symbols on the pieces are the same or of same category (ie: the four seasons) and if the pieces are free at least by one side that is it must not have close pieces at least on the right or left. The graphics are very well made and the menu is full of options. It is even possible to ask the computer for the best next moves. The starting sequence is of best quality. One loses when there are no more possible moves.

The main feature of this chess simulator is the good 3D view of the board and pieces which can be selected between two different kinds. The board can be oriented in four directions or classically viewed from the top. The game is full of options: for instance we can scroll through the already made moves or put the pieces manually on the board. We play against the computer which has various skill levels. We can move the pieces using a little arrow.

This is really touching. Scrabble plays a great version of the classic word game with an 11,000 word vocabulary in just 48K. It's most endearing feature is that if you enter a word like 'QXWWVAR' on a triple word score box, it'll ask you if you're sure its a legal word, then if you reply 'yes', it actually believes you! Whats more, it adds the word to its vocabulary so, if you use it again, it won't even question it! Now that's what computers were always supposed to be about, none of this taking over the world nonsense. Play Scrabble and feel superior.
