LOL, Eric. Everything I know about computers, I learned on the TRS-80.

Sorry to respond to such an old post, and I’m sure no one will probably see this, but I just had to applaud you for actually mentioning a Trash 80 in a review written in 2007. I actually say that somewhat endearingly towards the machine, as I actually had one until earlier this year (though I hadn’t used it for many, many years).

As for the game, I have to say that despite not being a big “cards on computers” type gamer, I really enjoyed it. But then, that’s not too surprising given that it came from Astraware.

$10 is a steal. I know what I’m getting for mom for her birthday - especially after reading your review, Doug. =)

Just tried out the game yesterday. I like it a lot.

Sin (or anyone else who is looking for more info/reviews about Astraware Solitaire), here is another review

I hope it’s okay to ‘advertise’ it here, but I usually look for as many reviews as I can find when I want to get something new, so this link will hopefully be useful for some people. B)

Thanks, guys. SPM: I don’t think I have ever played PDAMill’s Solitaire, although I have enjoyed many of their other games.

SinisterJunkie, now is definitely the time to buy. This game for under $10 is a steal.

Very nice review! I saw this come out and was thinking about checking out the trial. Now I definitely will and from the sounds of it will be quickly purchasing!

Wow Doug excellent review. I’m working on one too, and it’s really a pleasure. The review won’t be as lengthy as yours though, I think. But this game defenitely deserves positive attention so I’m happy to provide it.

I really don’t like the fact that I’m going to have to do school work before I can continue playing!

Have you played PDAMill Gamebox Solitaire (1 or 2)?
If so, how would you compare them?
