This game has excellent strategy responses, plays very well (it's the best one i've tried, but I've not tried that many). The price is also reasonable. The animations and the interface are another story. It's really the exact opposite of games such as Freeverse's Big Bang Backgammon, which has smooth animations and a beautiful interface but quite poor computer strategy.

I'd give this game a higher score (and probably buy it) if the author would consider updating the interface. It really is quite aged and there are several little niggles with the UI - things like the computer animation being too quick while suddenly the pace slows down while a synthesised voice reads out an obvious comment (no option to switch it off!!). I continuously found myself click everywhere to try to make it stop talking, as i'm used to fast pace in backgammon.
As for the quality of the graphics, lets just say I would want any one see me play this on my beautiful new Macbood Pro!

It really needs to be coded in cocoa. Graphis don't have to be "lickable aqua" but should really be updated out of the 1990's. But this is otherwise an excellent backgammon game.
