Favorite Games for Windows is a decent compilation of traditional family games for Windows.The games included are Backgammon, Hearts, Rummy, Yacht (also known as Yahtzee), and Checkers. Each of the games plays well and has all of the standard options you would expect, but none offers anything that would make it stand out from the crowd of similar games. There is no superb AI that characterizes Oxford Softwork's titles, or the fun animated opponents of Sierra's Hoyle series. As it stands, then, this package is best only for beginners who are looking for a no-frills version of familiar games to while away a few minutes at work. For faster gameplay or more challenging versions, you are better off looking elsewhere.
