"Another Mal-Ware loaded download"
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
You can erase it from your hard-drive.
Cons
It can be removed from your hard-drive.
Summary
Another 'down-load' from C-Net that loads your hard-drive with Malware. C-Net states that they check downloads for virus programs but they should do the same for malware!!!!

"One of the Best PC/DOS Games Ever of all time."
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
You can use a keyboard or joystick.
The Game has two video modes.
You can now play this game with Dosbox.Cons
Only con I can think of is that you can't play this game with today's CPU Tech that has Vista or 7. You have to download a Dos-Base Emulator just to play it on a CPU with Vista or 7 today.
Summary
As I mention this is one of the Best PC/DOS games ever.
Since doing the review for Pacpc I have played the Arcade Version though MAME. Another pro about this game is that it's as good as the Arcade Version. If you use DosBox or any DOS-Based Emulator you might want to download the game.
But if you want to play it on Windows Vista or 7 you best get a Dos-Base Emulator just to play it on today's Windows Operating Systems.
This Game still works for those who use Windows 3.X up till Windows XP of course. That's only if you still use those systems.
Anyhow this is still a good classic.

"Did not work for me"
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
I was unable to actually test this program properly
Cons
Bottom line tells it all
Summary
It never reconized my "joystick" and I tried 3 different ones. and then after trying to exit the program It crashed the PC. I have been able to recover it as I am a technician. but if you do not have alot of patients and if you use a wirless keyboard it will not function quick enough to play this game. The split second it takes for the signal from the keyboard to the computer can mean missing the turn.
