Product Description
-------------------
In a nutshell: Possibly the least obscure game title ever, this
does exactly what it says on the tin with forty-two classics from
chess and backgammon, to darts, poker, bridge and solitaire.The
lowdown: The surprising thing about this game is that nobody's
thought to do it before. The games are split into three varieties
of card game and two of board games, plus a selection of "action"
games including ing, darts and billiards. Playing the card
games is just as easy as you'd expect with two screens and a
stylus, whether it's Old Maid and Pig or Texas Hold 'Em and
Bridge. The board games work just as well, with Chinese Checkers,
Checkers (i.e. Draughts), Dots and Boxes and more. You'll also
find games like Turncoat (i.e. Othello), "Connect Five", Ludo,
Mah-jong and Solitaire. You have got to go to some effort not to
find something of interest amongst this selection.Most exciting
moment: The best thing about having so many games is that, except
for the ones that are purposefully single player, they can all be
played online. If you're playing against a friend you can even
chat using a Picto Chat style interface.Since you ask: The
Japanese and Western versions of the game have several different
exclusive games. Japan never got Texas Hold 'Em, Dots and Boxes,
Grid Attack, Ludo, Dominoes, Escape or Mah-jong Solitaire but
instead have Napoleon, Goninkan, Bozu mekuri, Sugoroku, Size
Game, Last One and Mini Golf in their version.The bottom line:
The one video games compendium that really is for everyone.
