	Mar 22 2008	TED S I'm a former Vista user and needed backgammon for OS X. This is a great game; however, on my large monitor the dice appeared proportionately small. I emailed David and within a few hours he sent me an upgrade. The dice are right for me now. That's incredible customer service! (Version 5.6.2)

CERULEAN I have been playing this game in an older version for about ten years and have alway enjoyed it. But now that I have purchased the latest version I enjoy it even more. It is well thought out. The graphics are good. It gives lots of choice for personal preferences and it gives hints if you want to have them. I

can highly recommend it. (Version 5.6.2)

	Feb 25 2008	KCG David's Backgammon is a very strong product... well thought out, and dependable. With slight polish in some UI areas, it would be perfect. Well worth the money as it is. (Version 5.6.2)

VRAIREAL I used to feel the same way as ficheye until I just garbaged the game. Best move I made since I bought the game a few years ago. I can only say to prospective buyers to go ahead and try the demo and find out by yourselves.

No use to argue with Gammonsoft, since he cannot be neutral about the game, he is trying to make some money with it. What do you expect his comments will be. Make your own opinion and try it before buying. (Version 5.6.1)
