David's Backgammon ReviewI recommend this game... - Version: 5.8.0, 6/7/2009 07:30AM PST

I've had registered versions of this game on both Mac and PC for many years and still I'm addicted.
Several reviewers complain that they don't win as much as they would like; I feel they should grow up and accept that life's not always fair! Just learn to play better!!
It works on OS X 10.2 as well as those listed in Versiontracker, by the way.

David's Backgammon CommentaryDice Roll are Random! - Version: 5.7.7, 4/21/2009 08:10AM PST

game author
I am the author of the game. I know for sure that the dice rolls are random, in all situations, for both players, and that they don't favor either player except by luck.

The logic for the computer opponent's play has been developed over the last 20 years. It seems to be lucky because it plays the game so that more of the dice rolls it gets will be good rolls. That could appear as being lucky when it is just good playing.

David's Backgammon CommentaryRather not Register - Version: 5.7.5, 4/11/2009 08:36AM PST

I registered this game in March 09 after playing for a few years. I was winning +50% of the time on an unknown (now) version of the game. Since registering, my points are 50 to 17, computer. This most recent game set me over the edge with the computer getting seven doubles. BS.

This is no fun and doesn't help me improve my game.
