Absolute Backgammon ReviewAabsolute Backgammon - Mac OSX - Version: 6.6.8, 1/7/2010 10:43AM PST

Absolute Backgammon, clearly the best computer version of the game on the internet, has recently undergone some changes. In July it was upgraded to Version 6.5, in which many new features were added to make the game more enjoyable. Versions, 6.6.8 and 6.6.9 (universal), released since then, take it even further. This is a terrific game for anyone who wishes to play backgammon either against a human opponent, or against their computer at a variety of skill levels.

Great application, can't live without it.

I'd wish my computer will recognize hand movements and allow me to pass the dice the natural way, like Wii.
I'd wish that I can hear virtual voices commenting my game in real time.

Meanwhile, it's absolutely fun. It's worth every cent.
