Hoyle Classic Games is just what the classic game player has been looking for. When you want to play backgammon you want to roll the dice now, not a week from Thursday. In the absurd game you get sore losers and a breakdown in sportsmanship! Don't let conflicting schedules stop you. In serious mode you get intense opposition and good manners. Hoyle Classic Games also introduces the Attitude Meter: set the tone of the opposition, from serious to absurd. You can even change the atmosphere: customize the screen to set the game in the Old West, for example, without having to worry about cigar smoke and bullet holes in your living room. You can ante, bet, fold, and bluff against characters with their own habits and quirks (developed especially for this edition of Hoyle).

Draw Poker is the new card in the Hoyle hand. What's more, Hoyle Classic Games provides opponents when you want to play, not when you can get four people to agree on a time and place.
