Illuminated Clock Screensaver
Sep 2 2009

WAYNE WELSH  Very attractive screen saver! Under Snow Leopard the second hand "stutters". Did not do that under Leopard. The developer is very quick to respond to problems.

Dominoes
Jan 29 2009

WAYNE WELSH  For reasons I gave in my last review of this VERY FRUSTRATING game, I just tossed it in the trash and will no longer agravate myself with the unfairness of it. $19.95 down the drain. Don't buy this unless you want to be frustrated!!!

Dominoes
Jan 21 2009
**...

WAYNE WELSH  I bought this game and have been playing it for well over a year now. Time in and time out the computer gets whatever it needs to win and I can't seem to BUY the right domino.

It is a nice looking game.

I play "Muggins" and have the computer play set at "Tough". I occasionally miss a better play than what I just made but usually I evaluate each domino for the best play and often the plays I need just are not there.

I very often get doubles during play and, of course those numbers are not often on the board to play on. In addition to doubles, I often have 4, 5, or even 6 of the same number showing on my dominoes and often I'll have that occur with more than one number. E.g. 5 ones and 3 or 4 sevens in my hand. That makes it very difficult to win!

If I play a double 9 the computer pretty often will come up with a 9/2 or a 9/7 giving it either 20 or 25 points.

Oh, and if I choose the option of highest double starting the game, the computer gets to start far more often than I do.

I enjoy playing this game but get VERY FRUSTRATED with the unfairness of it. I win maybe one game out of 3 to 5 games played.

IN CONCLUSION, I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME IF YOU ARE PREPARED FOR LOTS OF FRUSTRATION!!!

I would love to see the author fix the game so the computer really does play smarter at the more difficult levels and not just with better dominoes programmed for it so it LOOKS like it's playing smarter!

WAYNE WELSH  I am unable to find a list of calendar or mail programs which would be compatible with this application either on MacUpDate or on the apps homepage.
