Product Description:

In 1993 Mario Leonti wrote a game called solitario. It is a simple fast and addictive game, very difficult to solve. In his holidays this year he revamped it for System X. We make you a gift of it. solitario is available only for Macintosh and I hope you find it as addictive as I do. Please do not hesitate to suggest beautiful additions to solitario and report bugs. To pause the credits in solitario's opening screen press the shift key, to backtrack hold down the option key. To start playing solitario click the mouse once. You are presented with a deck of cards. Click on the deck, press the enter or the return key to deal. If any two adjacent cards, or cards with not more than one card in between them, have the same value or belong to the same suit they can be both put on the same pile, you click them both and solitario will move the right hand card on top of the left hand one. You win if you can get all the cards in one pile. Mario decided to retain the vintage look and make solitario free, for the time being. All rights are reserved and you may use it but only at your own risk. solitario was tested on MAC OSX.3.6 to X.5.5 but it may work on earlier versions.

What's new in this version:

It is a good card game.

solitario ReviewNice game, but poor features - Version: 1.0, 8/9/2009 02:57AM PST

This is a very nice solitaire game. However it is annoying that you have to wait 30 seconds or so for a deal to watch a very poor animation over and over again. Also I would like it to have an undo and a save game feature. Does anyone know if there is a better version of this, maybe as part of the multigame shareware packages?

solitario ReviewNeeds a bit of polish - Version: 1.0, 1/17/2009 10:25PM PST

The graphics and sound our extremely outdated. The icon for the game is a transplanted bitmap that looks ugly in the Finder and uglier in the Dock. The game itself is not strictly compatible with Leopard, since window placement is a bit haphazard when Spaces is enabled. The rules for playing the game are not readily accessible either.

These things being said, the game play is interesting. If you are a solitaire buff, you will likely enjoy the novelty of Solitario.

Thanks for making solitario free.
I used to play it a long time ago.
Now that it is on my Mac I can clear my mind with a couple of games when stress is mounting up.
