I've loved the Hoyle game series (Card Games, Casino, and Puzzle & Board Games)for many years. But, the last Mac versions were released in 2002 and were only compatible with OS 9. These older versions were still playable on pre-Intel Macs, but the newer Macs with Intel chips no longer have compatibility with pre-Mac OS X software.

Finally, the long wait is over and new versions of the excellent Hoyle Games are available for today's Mac users! :-)

Excellent collection of puzzles...great audio and video effects, and the games are simple enough for general usage and complex enough for interest and stimulation.

ONLY negative is that when activated the games take over your entire screen, and cannot be "reduced" to run in background.

Better than 2007 !!!!!!!

Bought 2007 when it first came out. Hayed it and got ride of it. This one works great on my Micro XP Home Edition! It combines the prior puzzle and board games with some new ones. Good fast service !!

Hoyle Card Games (MAC OSX) was long over due. Hated playing the old Hoyle Card Games in the Classic enviornment (MAC OS9) so tried several other OSX card games but found them to be inferior to Hoyle so migrated back to the old OS9 Hoyle games. This OSX version has many improvements and is fun to play.

Sudoku doesn't work on Vista

I have other Hoyle games so when I saw a Sudoku for Vista by Hoyle, I just knew it would be good. I have a PC with Windows XP and it works great. I also loaded it on my laptop that has Windows Vista. All the other games work but Sudoku won't work. I emailed Hoyle and they sent me a patch. Still didn't work. They figured out what graphics I have and sent me to Intel for another update. It still doesn't work. It's really a great game but not if Sudoku is what you want and you have Windows Vista.

I haven't begun to play all the games included in this game set. I'm stuck in the Anagrams and the Slide Tiles. I'm awful in the anagrams, and I'm determined to do better. The Slide Tiles is a version of Mah Jong, that is positively addicting for me. I spend hours at it. When you "win", a wide variety of awards are presented from a certificate, to a dancing cow, to an audience giving you a standing ovation and clapping. The game has very good graphics. I'm totally satisfied.

old guys like me....

We don't get too excited over all the latest computer games. We prefer more traditional games of startegy that can be played on the computer. They help keep the mind and memory sharp. There's a really nice selection of games on this disk that I can play on my HP desktop at home and my Powerbook at work. :)

This pc game is so addicting that you won't want to do anything else. It is just a bunch of games that you may have played with your brothers and sisters before computers came around. They are relaxing and not full of killing and hate. Just some old fashioned game night play with a few updated games mixed in.

BEST puzzle collection EVER!!

This was my favorite game by Hoyle but getting a new powerbook left me game-less. Thank you we all enjoy the games on this new CD. It includes a good varietyof puzzles and games. We would like to see more items to purchase as you win points. That has been fun. Well worth the price.
