24 Games for Windows
It is the 15 remaining games in the "strategy/puzzle" section that make this collection stand out above most similar titles. The games in this section range from the familiar (e.g. peg solitaire, here called "Pegopolis," cryptograms, reversi, othello (here called "Checker Collector") and a memory game) to the less familiar (e.g. nim, quinto, and wari), to downright original games. In the last category, games such as Winding Standoff, Voracity, Sechseck, Engulf, Core Meltdown, and Push-Pull are not only unique and original, but also a lot of fun to play. If you are a fan of abstract board/strategy games like myself, you will have a lot of fun playing any of these games. Put them together, and you have a wonderful collection that truly stands the test of time. All in all, a great bang-for-your-buck strategy/puzzle/action game collection that is just as good as Microsoft's various Entertainment Pack for Windows releases, although unfortunately far less known. Highly recommended, especially for its abstract games.
Note: The games in this series are now included as part of COSMI's excellent Top 50 Blazing Games for Windows, which is on sale at budget price in many retailers. Check out this new version today!
