    Have not used it because it absolutely will not go on to my Vista computer. Help line at Vista has been zero help. Have to say Amazon is great in that it came quickly.

    This is one great games to play, I love the search a word, the gravity tiles and most of the others. (Even though there are some I haven't tried. But each night you find me at my PC playing these games. I will also keep checking back to see if you have any more games like these. Thanks again. Jean


    3 out of 5 stars Works on some machines, but is buggy   May 27, 2008

    I purchased the Hoyle Game package to run on an iBook G3, specifically to get the Maj Jong game. It turns out that the code has been written for the next generation of display hardware as it has no display on the iBook G3. I have been using it on an iBook G4 and later models. The user interface is very cumbersome to use, requiring that you go through a character selection process each time that you play a game. The actual Maj Jong game is disappointing in comparison to the old Shanghai version of the same game. There are lots of games in the package, but again most of them seem to be fairly simplistic. I would not purchase the package again and would only recommend it to someone who does not have high expectations other than getting a lot of games in one package.
