Absolutely fine and quite cute with it
joyneski- Pros
- Installation (on XP w/SP3) very straightforward, understood enough of the instructions to play straight away, and I like the pidgin-English insults. And I've just worked out how to undo my move!
- Cons
- Program moves its pieces so quickly you can't always tell what its moved; sometimes need to click on dice 2 or 3 times before I can move; instructions not always easy to understand (but his English is way better than my Greek!).
- Summary
- Lovely little program - as a backgammon game, it's pretty basic, but it also aims to be 'fun', which it achieves for me. Not sure what happened to the people who claim the program 'always throws the right dice' for it to win - I won 4 of the first 5 games I played, and 2 of them were doubles. Re Undo move - if you want to take back your move, you have to wait until the program's made its move, THEN click Undo, and it undoes its and your last move. If you move one man and then click Undo, you get a rather baffling message telling you to do it before you throw the dice, which initially made me think it didn't work. Then I tried doing what it said. Result!
A poor choice
thunderloader- Pros
- Nice graphics
- Cons
- Poor interface, poor instructions, trouble installing, instructions appearing in Greek and English simultaneously, and I never could get any of my pieces to move!
- Summary
- I uninstalled this game! Hopefully readers will take some advice and NOT install this one to begin with.
Excellent Backgammon game - Its Free
Ian_Bryant- Pros
- Great simple game of backgammon. Does what it says on the box. <p>If, I had paid £40 I might have expected more but I didn't <p>You can play back gammon and get sworn at in Greek!
- Cons
- Nothing. Its free and it does what it says on the box. <p>Ok there are no fancy bells and whistles, but I only wanted to play backgammon!
- Summary
Oh dear......
Eggenberg4Ever- Pros
- It's free..........
- Cons
- To coin a Greek phrase (or a few choice ones) this program is: Skata, Malakias and only playable if you are poly methysmenos. <p>It's buggy (the pieces float off the board) & the translation is absolutely brutal. <p>Avoid, tavli lovers!!!
- Summary

sissa331- Pros
- This game is very easy to understand. I has extraordinary options. I enjoy the cup of coffee while playing.
- Cons
- Once you move a token, you cannot move it back.
- Summary
Don't waste the time
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This author's command of English is far weaker than he thinks it is. I wasted a few minutes trying to figure out how to play at all, found no help, ran flat out of patience and deleted it. "Worth every penny"
best i have seen for free!
tertys7- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- if you turn off the drinks the game goes faster
Failed on my antique hardware
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- On my MMX-133 with 64 Megs RAM, Win98FE and ATI card, the men didn't land on the lines. The men spread out and the board was smaller, no matter whether I used resolution 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768. Maybe it works on modern hardware.
