Anyone have any experience with Ishido (the way of the stones)? Looks pretty good, but I suspect it could get boring. It seems like an elaborate solitauire because of the random but preset order of the stones in the sack. jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.

In all the above, the other player can be the computer. If you like solitare style games, this is a good one. The color version is very well done and runs in 8-bit mode. You have options to change everything from the design of the board to the design of the pieces. It is copy-protected , however, with that damn multiple wheele (it gives you four keys and you have to rotate the thing to line up the keys and enter a number). Jerry Whitnell jwhitnell@cup.portal.com
