This is version 2.1.1. It has some very minor changes from version 2.1.

Anyway, Baker's Dozen is a one deck solitaire game. An older version received 3 mice in MacUser. Version 2.1.1 is much better than the version that was reviewed though. Baker's Dozen has some cool features like: Unlimited Undo Supports color on color machines Digitized Sounds Statistics (yay!)

Briscola 1.2 is a card game for Macintosh and PowerMacintosh. This game is well known in Italy as briscola, but is known as atout for French people and as trump for English ones. The briscola is the suit of the card which lies below the pack. Sometimes somebody considers briscola that card. Any card whose suit is briscola, should be kept jealously to get as more as opponent's points.The aim is to get more than 60 points, half of 120 available points. You have to face your opponent 20 times. Briscola 1.2 requirements - System 7.0. - RAM: 1500 KB available for Briscola. - Color QuickDraw. - any processor, 680x0 or PowerPC. What's new in 1.2 ? - bug removed while opening the preferences file. - PICT resources reduced to 16 bit. - some code added to support Roman languages. - added Italian menus, dialogs, texts. - better poker pictures for aces, jacks, queens and kings. I changed these symbols to PICTs, because in Briscola 1.0 and 1.1 I used bitmap system fonts and they were badly rendered if you have Espi Sans as system font, as Aaron or Kaleidoscope set at startup. - even with Trevisan cards the winning ones are inverted now. - background and font even changed at the end of the game. - the pack on the table is "deep", so that you can guess how many cards remain in it. - sounds are now asynchronous. - some minor bugs removed. Briscola 1.2 is a shareware game. Its shareware fee is 5 US$ and the registration is handled by Kagi.

I was alerted to a case where they will crash during startup on an accelerated 68000 machine without colour quickdraw. The games are meant to just quit gracefully on any machine without colour QD. This has been fixed. Otherwise the games are unchanged and people with working copies of the previous versions do not really need to down load these ones. Although if they are going to spread the games further,then it would be a good idea to use these fixed games. Cheers Ralph -- Ralph S.

Portions of code remain (c) Symantec Corp. Welcome to the first of a series of solitaire card game releases. Volume #1 is the first four games to be developed with a new card game framework called the Card Shell. They all use full colour graphics including 40 pack designs and 60 background patterns. This second 1993 release fixes a few more minor bugs. Features include: *They will (should?) work on all Apple screens at any colour depth. The games require a mac with colour quickdraw capabilities (see below). *The game applications have automatic saving of the current game so you can play, quit and restart where you left off. *They all have full undo and redo features to allow you to step forward and backwards through a game and even use fast forward and rewind to give rapid replays. *Copies of games in play may be saved in sepearate files, in this way several players could play the same setup and a tournament is possible. All the saved games include their playing history. *The game applications are designed with system 7.0 multiprocessing in mind. When the player is not moving any cards around the games use almost no cpu cycles and give maximum time to background processes. When the user starts to play, the games take much more cpu time to give a nice fast response. *The shell design uses a shared resource file called 'Cards' which contains all the bulky colour resources and sounds. This is around 350K. Each game can simultaneously share these reosurces, reducing the disk space requirements greatly. Each game is about 70-90K. For more details see the online help in the games ;-) *****System requirements They are designed to work best under system 7.0 or newer, although they will still function with some loss of smoothness under system 6.0.7. The games use full 256 colour colour graphics, but they have optimisations to work well under all depths from B&W to 32bit colour. However they require a mac with colour quickdraw. At the moment this includes: all Mac II computers (including the SE/30), all LCs, all Quadras, Centris machines, Performas, the Classic II and the Colour Classic. all powerbooks (except the PB100) and probably all newer macs. They each want about 1MB of ram under system 7.0 and up to 1.5-2MB under system 6 without 32bit Quickdraw *****Credits Design & programming: Ralph S Sutherland. Testing: Neville Smythe and Kim Holburn. Freeware, Enjoy! Ralph S Sutherland August. 1993. PS: The Example games folder contains some games that have worked out. you can load them in and replay them with the rewind and fast forward options. -- Ralph S.

Although if they are going to spread the games further,then it would be a good idea to use these fixed games. This volume 2 is independent of volume 1, also posted. Cheers Ralph -- Ralph S.

Portions of code remain (c) Symantec Corp. Welcome to a series of solitaire card game releases. These are the second release of three games, developed with a new card game framework called the Card Shell. They all use full colour graphics including 40 pack designs and 60 background patterns. This release fixes some minor bugs, particularly occuring when starting on a machine that doesn't have Color QD. ********************************************************** IMPORTANT: You do not require Volume #1 to use Volume #2, but if you already have Volume #1 then you only require one copy of the 'cards' data file. It can be shared by all of the Card Shell games. You can simply remove the copy that comes with volume #1 and use the Volume #2 'cards' file for all the games. This will save about 350K of disk space. [without file compression ;-)] ********************************************************** Features include: *They will (should?) work on all Apple screens at any colour depth. The games require a mac with colour quickdraw capabilities (see below). *The game applications have automatic saving of the current game so you can play, quit and restart where you left off. *They all have full undo and redo features to allow you to step forward and backwards through a game and even use fast forward and rewind to give rapid replays. *Copies of games in play may be saved in sepearate files, in this way several players could play the same setup and a tournament is possible. All the saved games include their playing history. *The game applications are designed with system 7.0 multiprocessing in mind. When the player is not moving any cards around the games use almost no cpu cycles and give maximum time to background processes. When the user starts to play, the games take much more cpu time to give a nice fast response. *The shell design uses a shared resource file called 'Cards' which contains all the bulky colour resources and sounds. This is around 350K. Each game can simultaneously share these reosurces, reducing the disk space requirements greatly. Each game is about 70-90K. For more details see the online help in the games ;-) *****System requirements They are designed to work best under system 7.0 or newer, although they will still function with some loss of smoothness under system 6.0.7. The games use full 256 colour colour graphics, but they have optimisations to work well under all depths from B&W to 32bit colour. However they require a mac with colour quickdraw. At the moment this includes: all Mac II computers (including the SE/30), all LCs, all Quadras, Centris machines, Performas, the Classic II and the Colour Classic. all powerbooks (except the PB100) and probably all newer macs. They each want about 1MB of ram under system 7.0 and up to 1.5-2MB under system 6 without 32bit Quickdraw *****Credits Design & programming: Ralph S Sutherland. Testing: Neville Smythe and Kim Holburn. FreeWare, Enjoy! Ralph S Sutherland August. 1993. PS: The Example games folder contains some games that have worked out. you can load them in and replay them with the rewind and fast forward options. -- Ralph S.

What a deal! #### BINHEX crazy-eights-212.hqx **** From: Dawn MacLaughlin Subject: crazyeights.sit.hqx version 2.1.2 CrazyEights pits you against the computer in this classic card game. The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards before your opponent does. Any player left holding cards when another player goes out is penalized points for each card held. The game ends when a player's score exceeds the game limit; the winner is the player with the lowest score. CrazyEights features: * 2-4 player action (play against 1-3 computer opponents) * a variety of options to tailor game play and appearance) * save and load game capability * on-line help, including description of the rules of play * tracking of your win percentage Changes in version 2.1.2: * Enhancements for improved performance. Changes in version 2.1.1: * On the Mac OS X platform, Options are now accessed via the Preferences menu item in the Application menu. * Fixed a bug where, under certain conditions, the first player in a new game would incorrectly lose a turn. * Fixed a bug where the turn would not advance if you got into a situation where all the cards were in players hands - there were no cards left in the deck to pick up - and the current player had no card to play. Changes in version 2.1 include: * Control over the message font: You can now change the font and font size used for text messages (in the Options window). * Control over the mouse click between turns. * The game now remembers the size and position of the main window between sessions. * In 2.1, when you save a game, information about the players involved in the game (their names and associated colors) is saved - this information was not saved under version 2.0. * Various elements (particularly in the Options window) now have "tool tips". Changes in version 2.0 include: * Addition of 3 and 4 player games: You may now play games against 2 or 3 computer opponents. * Save/load game capability. * Statistics for hands as well as games. * Cumulative 2's rule added. * Players now declare "last card". * Under certain conditions, the wrong player would be reported as the winner. This has been fixed. Changes in version 1.5 include: * Undo * The position, size, and visibility characteristic (open or not) of the ScorePad is saved between sessions. * Statistics can now be reset (in the Statistics window). * New options allow you to change the background color and the color used to display messages. * A separate Help menu item describing the interface is available. * If the last card played when going out is one that forces a player to pick up cards, the next player must pick up. (In 1.0, players did not pick up when someone went out.) CrazyEights requires OS X 10.1.3 with Java 1.3.1 Update 1. CrazyEights is distributed as shareware. You may try out the game for 15 days, after which game play is disabled.

This is a simple and addictive solitaire game my Mom taught me as a child. The cards are shuffled and 28 cards are dealt face-up and overlapping in the shape of a pyramid. The remainder of the cards are turned over one at a time. You then try to take cards off the pyramid that are either one higher or one lower in value. You continue until either you run out of cards to turn over or you clear the pyramid. The game saves low scores and you have the option of showing cards that are legal plays.

Subject: [*] 500 Cards (v1.4) by Denis A. Birnie. 500 is a game of tricks - the highest bidder attempts to win at least as many tricks as they bid. Making the bid increases the players score while failing to make the bid decreases it. The first partnership to reach 500 wins - hence: 500! 500 is related to Whist, Bridge and Euchre. Release Notes This is a major revamp of the the program featuring tougher computer opponents, a highscore/members list, real picture cards, several new preferences and background textures. There's also a hint of the network play to come... System Requirements Minimum requirements are System 6.0.5 and at least an original 9" monitor. The ideal is system 7 and 265 colours. The original interface was designed for a B/W Classic. I've tested 500 Cards on a Mac Plus running system 6.0.7 and a Colour Classic and PowerMac running system 7.5. I¹ve also heard of it running on a rail-gunned IIci - it should run on anything!

When the new Hearts game was uploaded, I noticed that this old gem isn't available in any of the major archives, which is a shame, since it is one of the best games I've ever played on the Mac. No color, no sounds, just a straight and simple implementation of Hearts - but for some reason, it has an excellent replay value. The opponents play rather well, which makes it pretty hard to win. The game is from 1987, I think, and works just fine under System 7. (Someone has added a SIZE resource, setting it to 100k, which is too little under Sys 7, but with 130k, it works.) Might conflict with MAZ. Public Domain! /Ingemar Ragnemalm (Not the author!) #### BINHEX free-cell-10.hqx **** From: ahung@Telcel.Net.VE (Alberto Hung) Subject: Freecell for Mac Freecell is a card game similar to Klondike, but where we can only move one card at a time. In the game we find: 8 stacks of cards, 4 home cells and 4 free cells. To win, we must move all the cards from the stacks to the home cells. Since we can move just one card at a time, we use the free cells as temporary storage. To move a card to another stack, we must observe the same rules as in Klondike: - the card must have a value 1 less than the value of the card on top of the stack - the card and the card on top of the stack must have different colors - to move to the home cells, the card must have a value that follows the value of the card in the home cell; and they must be of the same suit. - we can also move a card to an empty free cell or an empty stack. The program provides a shortcut for moving several cards. When we click on the source stack and on the destination stack, the program will determine which cards can be moved and will move them. This is my second program for Macintosh. I used CW9 C++ and POV-Ray 3.0 for the graphics. Enjoy!

Level 1: Markers indicate movable cards. Level 2: Gallery does evident, unproblematic moves automatically for you. In most situations you have the choice from different movable cards (or in many situations, to wait with some moves). Thus, you concentrate your efforts in taking good decisions instead of looking for movable cards. Changes in version 3.0: Extended CAP options, minor bug fixing, balloon help, preference file etc. Gallery is free (but my children like postcards). Enjoy!

I am releasing this version as shareware for $10. The program can be run on any Macintosh computer. It requires 410K of memory and is 32-bit clean. This submission is a binhexed, Stuffit 1.5.1 archive. Gin Rummy is the well known card game for two people. The program allows you to play against the computer. Documentation is available online and as a "read me" file. Version 2.0 has the following major enhancements: 1) You can move images of the cards instead of their outlines. You can grab cards instead of dragging them. You can click to move a card instead of clicking to select a card. 2) You can modify the points for bonuses and the points needed to end a game. 3) You can keep a tally of the winner's victories and points. 4) You can now undo "draw a card" and "pick up discard." 5) I added the Oklahoma game variation. In addition, several other minor problems were fixed. The changes are documented in the "read me" file. Bill Hale #### BINHEX golf-60.hqx **** From: "Michael A.

FREEVERSE RELEASES HEARTS DELUXE MICROSOFT HUMBLED NEW YORK‹Freeverse Software today announced the release of the latest versions of their popular card game Hearts Deluxe for Mac and PC. Freeverse Software is arguably the smallest software company with the possible of exception of "Timmy, the 7th-Grade Hacker." Nevertheless, they have consistently released board and parlor games of the highest quality. Previous releases of Hearts Deluxe have received rave reviews from Ziff-Davis Interactive, MacWorld/MacUser, PC Computing, and C/NET among others This success has not gone unnoticed in Redmond. Perhaps in response to Freeverse's fierce competition, Microsoft has chosen to bundle a free copy of their unremarkable program "MS Hearts" with Windows 95. While it may be possible to remove MS Hearts without breaking Windows 95, we have been afraid to try. We are undaunted. Our Hearts Deluxe features a rich 3-D perspective, variable skill levels, a full tutor mode, opponents ranging from Bill Clinton to the Mad Hatter, a Boss Coming feature, full manual and strategy guide. The Macintosh version also features telepathy and voice recognition. Hearts Deluxe 5.0 for Macintosh requires three megabytes of RAM and System 7.0 or later. Hearts Deluxe 2.0 for Windows requires three megabytes of RAM and Windows 3.x, 95 or NT. Hearts Deluxe is available as shareware or in a CD-ROM version. It is available from WWW.FREEVERSE.COM or wherever better shareware is found. Freeverse Software is a leading developer and publisher of shareware computer games for the Macintosh and PC.

I had only figured on a few people being interested in receiving the game. I have sent the game to Sumex-Aim, so hopefully they will archive it. Here is the copy of MacJong V0.20 that I agreed to send. I would be most appreciative of anyone who can translate the score sheet and the instruction screen. Also, if anybody can figure out how to win the game without having to play each "book" singly, please tell me! I had mentioned that I would be willing to help someone redesign or improve a Mahjongg game. My intention is not to be the driving force in this endeavor. I would not know the first thing in programming a Mac game. But I can color, draw, test, and the such. In other words, I wouldn't mind being a "little helper"!!!!! Possibly a collaborative effort from many???? The game is right behind this mailing. It has been BinHexed and compressed by Stuffit Deluxe 3.06. Happy playing and may the East winds calm your dragon.

When you start your next session of Freecell you're given the option to finish the game from the last session. * Improved User Interface Improved preferences dialog makes things easier, combined with other little fixes make playing Super Mac Freecell even more enjoyable. #### BINHEX sw-solitaire-202.hqx **** Date: Sat, 10 Jun 1995 15:11:00 -0500 From: spoyd@omni.voicenet.com (Steve Boyd) Subject: SpoydWorks Solitaire 2.0.2 SpoydWorks Solitaire is a shareware solitaire game which supports a number of different solitaire variations some familiar and others unique to this package on the Macitosh.

The user can learn to play Blackjack better, by having a hint window displayed if an incorrect play is made, or having the program deal only specific types of hands, like pairs or soft hands, so these can be practiced directly. Card counting can also be practiced. Going beyond the standard casino games, Ultimate Blackjack can show how much money a particular strategy will win (or lose) in Las Vegas, and even draws a histogram showing the distribution of outcomes. The statistical package tracks the payoff on each card combination to understand the best play. You can even experiment with two artificial intelligence routines, the genetic algorithm and learning agents, to see if a computer can learn to play Blackjack. Good Luck!

If you are the first player to go out, you are awarded the point values of all the cards still held by other players. The first player to reach a certain number of points (usually 500) wins. UNO uses a special deck of 108 cards that features number cards (0 through 9) and word cards. Word cards cause special actions when played (such as reversing the direction of play or causing an opponent to pick up cards and lose a turn). Each card in the deck belongs to one of four colors: Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow (colors are analogous to suits in a standard deck of cards) - except for wild cards, which have no specific color. A legal play essentially involves matching the color, number, or word of the previously played card.
