Hoyle Card Games 2008 [OLD VERSION]

48 reviews

Windows, Macintosh | Encore Software, 2007

Excellent, many-faceted game.
I like the Hoyle a lot. Although I bought it for practice in bridge bidding, I'm getting sucked in to the other addictive games as well. Including (can you believe) "Go Fish". I'm not enthusiastic about the characters that make up the fellow players, but you can change them, and also turn off the sound in most instances. And the Hoyle is quite a value.

Pass On 2009
If you already have the 2008 version, stick with that and forget about this 2009 version. If you don't have 2008, buy that instead of 2009. The only new games are some Big Bang games, and they are hardly enough to recommend this "update". You are forced to play with a snarky little Geni (I guess that is what he is), and these classic games are neither particulary interesting or engaging. One ...

Much bettre
This version is soooooo much better than the prior one. Runs quickly, easy to import pictures and video. I run this on my old junky laptop and it runs really well. I have very little time anymore so when I sit down to work on this I need it to be easy to figure out, easy to manage, and I need it to run quickly. This version does all of that.

my thoughts
Well two out of three titles are worth buying. Encore ecould have rebuilt the puzzle and board games. The casino title is built a lot like the card games title, except is the color is green, All inprovements make it worth buying the casino and card games, pass on puzzle and board game title

FTM 2009
I have used Family Tree Maker since 1996. I was very disappointed with the 2008 version but I stuck with it because I knew it was an entirely new program and it would take time to find out what all the issues are and make the corrections. I was very glad to find out that they decided to scrap 2008 and were working on the 2009 version. I was a beta tester for 2009 and I was very impressed with ...

Great Updates
This software was purchased as an upgrade. I have been using PrintMaster for years. Since the format is similar it is easy to navigate. This new edition has so many great new graphics. It also has a scrapbooking option, although I found it somewhat limited.

this game takes a few minutes to start loading, you may need to disable your firewall during the install depending on who you use, all in all it is worth the effort

I give Print Shop 23 two thumbs up and 5 stars!
I bought the new Print Shop and it's incredibly easy to use. It comes on two DVDs with a user manual to help you figure out how to get started. There are TONS of images and templates - so many you can always find something that works. I made the most adorable postcard announcements for my daughter Winnie. I can't wait to get started on stuff for the holidays. I give Print Shop 23 two thumbs ...

worth the cost
Hoyle Casino 2008 I have been playing Hoyle Games for a long while. Each year they add new stuff. This time around they added Video Slots-a game I have been curious about since seeing them in actual casinos. I am very satisfied with the quality and completeness of these games. I spent quite a bit of my time playing them and enjoy it.

Wheel Of Fortune Deluxe

Windows | Encore, 2007

Really Great Game
I can't believe no one has posted a review about this game yet. I was so excited when I got my new notebook to see HP had their own Wheel of Fortune installed. I got to play a trial, and loving WoF I decided to buy it. Big mistake. After purchasing it, it would give me the same 6 puzzles over and over again - never giving any new ones. I couldn't even find a place to download new puzzles. $20 ...

great product and easy to use
I installed this on my computer and my six year old is having a blast. It's easy to understand and easy to get around. He knows more about it than I do. I've never even had to touch the program - it's so easy and fun he just goes to town.

Excellent but for the dated grapics
I have been typing for many years, and have know the basics of tough typing, although I have not been able to apply them; so I have been unable to type without looking at the keyboard. One obvious problem with this being that I would not notice mistakes until long after they were made. So I finally decided to do something about it; Mavis Beacon to the rescue! Once loaded the programmes is very ...

great chess game
This is the classic Chess tutorial and adversary - and this edition does not disappoint. Intuitive interface is easy to navigate, tutorials bring a player of any level up to speed, the sophisticated adjustable skill rating for the computer opponent is great, the advanced attacking tutorials are useful, the puzzles are good breaks for work/studying. Overall an amazing value for just ten dollars. ...

I Love these BOARD Games!!!
I had paid for and downloaded this game many years back "Hoyle Classic Board & Card Games" but found I lost it when getting a new PC. I looked for it with no success. I was so happy when I stumbled upon this at Fryes Electronics, I could not wait to get on Amazon or half.com to price it. I got the game and I was so happy to see many of the same characters and the same formats. I was ...

Like Having a Math Tutor in Your Home
I am very impressed with Math Advantage 2008 by Encore Software, and I very highly recommended that it be in the home of all students who are taking Grade 6 - 12 math. The program comes on one DVD, which is convenient. It's actually comprised of material which in previous editions came on 10 CD-ROMs. It's really 10 programs in one, and it would be a bargain at twice the retail price. Each ...

Awesome
Great product. The kids love the animation and the familiar characters. They ASK to play it. I don't have to argue with them to practice their typing.
