TintinYahtzee ReviewSome stability issues.... - Version: 1.0.1, 1/15/2004 12:13AM PST

Lover of Freeware
I've been playing Tintin Yahtzee for quite a while now, and I really enjoy the game. It is much more attractive IMHO than the other Yahtzee games out there. I've had problems with it unexpectedly quitting, though, every three new games. I've tried trashing preferences, and other workarounds, and it doesn't seem to fix it.

Also, in Panther I've noticed that it seems to have lost the ability to replace a score. Bummer.

A lot of people have complained that it doesn't use American Yahtzee rules, but I think that after playing Tintin, I prefer the way that it is played to the American version.

TintinYahtzee ReviewGreat idea; scoring needs work - Version: 1.0.1, 12/5/2003 11:27PM PST

I, too, was captivated by the idea of combining the Tintin characters and Yahtzee. The game interface is very good; however, the scoring routines need tweaking. I rolled a small straight of 2,3,4,5, yet was not allowed to score it in the small straight column. If the scoring is fixed, this becomes my Yahtzee game. Until then, I will stay with Yahtzee X.

TintinYahtzee ReviewDelightful except for scoring - Version: 1.0.1, 11/15/2003 08:09PM PST

Charming! I grew up with Tintin and Yahtzee, but it never entered my mind to blend the two. As others have noted, the scoring is not as you would expect. I would think it would be a no brainer to provide an option for Hasbro rules vs. Swedish rules, which is really the only gripe I have. A networked version would be very cool, and I would even pay a few bucks if the problems are ironed out.

TintinYahtzee Reviewneeds to cook a little - Version: 1.0.1, 6/3/2003 03:06PM PST

Issues noted by users previously have still not been corrected. Rules need to be included in the readme text since there is no Help for the game. Command keys do not work for extended english keyboard (command key plus corresponding keypad number keys do nothing). Looks like a fun time wasting game. I plan to keep an eye out for updates.

guess we're playing by different rules. I found complete U.S. rules here: http://grail.sourceforge.net/demo/yahtzee/rules.html. It would be great if it would be an option on the next release.

rules I play by are Swedish. Small straight = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 15p. Large straight = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 20p. Full house gives sum of the dice, not 25p. Will fix options for this.

a bit disappointing that the scoring is not like original yahtzee (bottom half scores should be fixed values - not the total on the dice, small straight should be run of 4 dice, and large run of 5 - not 1-5 and 2-6 respectively. 5 stars if you consult the rules and make the adjustments

bit disappointed that straights out of order didn't score as a straight (i.e., 3,2,1,5,4 didn't score as a large straight), and the top-half bonus of 50 points seems a bit high (isn't it 35 in the Hasbro version?). Plus I lost.
