 Entertaining game set for the Palm December 8, 2006

An excellent compilation of classic games. It plays quite well on the Palm OS platform.
Just be warned that the Bluetooth multi-player option may NOT be included with Battleship although the packaging explicitly states otherwise. My copy did not have Bluetooth as an option for multi-player. After contacting customer support, I was informed that they stopped advertising the feature because it was not working properly. So while it has been disabled in the program, their packaging has not been updated.

The only "problem" was when trying to play a game with someone else who had a device and that was not a problem once we figured out the devices need to be aimed directly at each other. Well worth the money and loads of fun!
Wonderful Value - great for travellers August 22, 2005

I recently bought a PalmOne PDA solely for the purpose of entertainment when travelling. Since I love Scrabble, I was ecstatic to see that it was available for the PDA. I bought this four game combination in case I ever get bored with Scrabble. I have read other reviews that voiced various complaints about Scrabble for PDA. They may have been based on earlier versions. This version is the full 15 x 15 board. I have only played one game (I beat the computer) but I did not run into any incidents of the computer "cheating." The graphics are incredibly sharp and legible - this was my biggest concern.
All four games appear to be true to the originals and wonderfully legible.
All in all, a great purchase for anyone on the go!
Handmark Battleship/Yahtzee/Monopoly Game Pack on SD/MMC Card July 19, 2005

The Game pack is not just for kids but those who are kids at heart. It brings back childhood memories of days gone by. What a great game pack for those on the go. I thought I was just getting the SD card but the pack comes with the SD card and a CD. So I did not have to use PDA memory if I did not want to. I liked the ability to play against the game or with friends. I also like the ability to play either all opponents on my PDA or the ability to play with others who have a PDA. A trial copy can be beamed to other PDAs so there is no need to worry about preloading the game. This is a very versatile product. I highly recommend purchasing this product over buying the individual games.
Excellent Remake June 21, 2005

This little card is an excellent way to kill a lot of time.
Pro:
-Monopoly games run quicker than dealing with your buddies trying to figure out if 10% or $200 is cheaper when landing on "income tax."
-Battleship is decent, also runs faster than the box version.
-Scrabble is really good, although it seems to allow a lot of abbreviations (e.g. 'bro' for brother) which I never would have thought legal.
-Scrabble dictionary can be handy as an actual (but basic) dictionary
-Yahtzee plays well too
-All games are true to their rule books (Monopoly allows for some popular variants).
-Came on a CD, so little risk of losing the files
-Came with a memory card so you can load the games onto it or you can put them on the internal drive (recommended)
-Fun to play by yourself or against someone else
-No crashes so far, ever, years later
Con:
-Battleship is a little too easy to win when playing the computer
-Games have no undo feature, especially critical for Yahtzee where the scoring screen is very crowded
-Some difficulty with the install (activation using the password). For a few of the games the password screen was scrambled... all the functionality was there so I used "good guesses" and was successful at activation, based on the two of the four games that installed properly
Bottom line: I play these all the time and highly recommend this item. Be patient if you have install issues, it is worth it.
