| marislet's Full Review: Hoyle Card Games 2000 |
If you love to play card games, then this cd is for you! Hoyle Card Games 2000 comes jam packed with 14 classic games and 30 versions of solitaire. With so many games, there's always one to fit your mood.
Specifications
The cd comes with installations for both Windows 95/98 and Macintosh. This is excellent for me since I have both a Windows PC and an iMac! The cd is required to run the games only if you want the computer controlled players to talk. Otherwise, you can play in silent mode without the cd. Internet access is required only if you wish to play others from all over the world.

The games on this cd are very well done and the graphics are just wonderful. Upon starting the game, you have the chance to create your own profile with their facemaker utility. The Go Fish game has a fish that jumps into the lake. The audio is also very well done. Each computer opponent has a distinct voice. Users can control the page backgrounds, card colors, character voices, and background music.
