"Very nice game"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Nice 2D and 3D boards, many game options.
Cons
The game menu can be improved.
Summary
I suggest you to get the Pro version due
to its external dice generator. -
"I uninstalled it."
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Nice layout.
Cons
It should be renamed 'Houdini' Backgammon.
Summary
I would not have purchase it had I read the reviews on CNET.
-
"Loaded dice"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
There are no major bugs and the board looks nice.
Cons
This game is clearly stacked against the user. The computer rolls doubles WAY more often than you ever will. Also, if you have a blot that can be hit, the computer will almost certainly roll the number it needs to hit it. I've played this game several times over the past week and have been frustrated by the obviously intentional level of difficulty. I don't mind a challenging Backgammon game, but I want a fair one.
Summary
Don't download this unless you don't mind losing to a cheat.
-
"Its another con"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
none whatsoever
Cons
As with all the backgammon games I've tried to download from this site, its a stupid installer and thinks you want its website as your homepage.
Summary
If you simply want to wile away a few minutes/hours simply playing a game of backgammon with your pc, I'd try Google.

"The game isn't bad."
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Voice is very good and clear.
The animation is nice.
You have control of rolling for both players.Cons
The buttons are a bit cryptic with words describing them appearing away from the button at the bottom of the screen.
It would be nice if the menu and/or instructions would come up when it starts up, at least the first couple of times to help us moderately knowledgable computer people.Summary
Over all I liked the game but not enough to purchase it for $20. The game that come with Hoyles 2005 Board Games is almost as good with the exception of the cube.

"Great Program"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Really slick
Cons
Doesn't Last Forever
-
"I know how to play backgammon. The game always wins."
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Looks nice.
Cons
The game always wins. I think the program cheats.
Summary
I am disappointed.
-
"Biased is right!"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
To quote a previous reviewers sentence: "It set up the board right."
Cons
I have played backgammon as well as other dice games and sometimes wonder if the computer is set up against the player - on purpose - i.e. it is focused on a win. Well, this one was so clear I only played it a few times to be convinced that it is!
Summary
Don't waste a second with this game.
-
"OK but don't like choices sometimes"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
fast game, no dragging
Cons
sometimes it doesn't play stone i want
-
"Statistically impossible"
Version: Backgammon Classic 7.2
Pros
Small download. Nice voice. Ease of play.
Cons
Biased dice (bad!)
Summary
Uncanny how this thing rolls doubles for itself. One thing a computer should be perfect at is a truly random dice roll. Too bad. Would otherwise have gladly paid for this.
