[comp.sys.mac] Backgammon game wanted

bruceb@telesoft.UUCP (Bruce Bergman @spot) (11/16/87)

I'm looking for a good Backgammon game for the PC.  I might even be
willing to pay for something (if reasonable).  Does anyone have any
suggestions?  As an alternate, a MacIntosh or Sun version would be
acceptable.  Any pointers would be appreciated!

Omar just isn't doing it anymore...  :^)

Thanks,

bruce bergman

Deflectors up... Lock Phasers on target...
FIRE!

First, "good Backgammon game for the PC" is an oxymoron since backgammon would
require graphics.  :^)

Phaser Bank Two...FIRE!

Secondly, there is a good backgammon game for the Macintosh that is shareware.
Yes that means "you might have to pay something", but since you consider it
an "alternative", I'm not going to tell you where to find it (Actually, I don't
know where to find it.  I could mail it to you, but I got it from my univ.
public domain house.  If there is a university near you, try that or any
archive like Info-Mac should have it). If you need it, send me mail and I will
mail it to you.

The Sun comes with a gammontool that is quite good as well.

CEASE FIRE!

Note: All flames are purely in jest and should not be taken seriously.
