Board Game Classics (GBA)

Be warned that this game cheats to win at Backgammon! When it gets to the point that it has no legal moves for bearing off, it just bears off whatever it pleases to win!

I am very upset about this. Apparently it's a bug, but it doesn't work for the human player as well, it only works for the computer player! So when I have no legal moves left for bearing off, instead of getting to just bear off whatever I please, I don't get to make a move and the computer gets to go again! It ruins the whole point of playing it!

Holy crap that's messed up... You're going to write to the company and bitch about that, yes? If they fix it, it could become a future rarity (think Vectrex Minestorm II).

Actually, yes I did write to the company and bitch about it, but now I am not so sure that it's not my bad. I decided to try and play some backgammon on my Game Gear instead, and it did the exact same thing. So maybe it is just me who doesn't know what the rules are. I will have to look into it further. I hope that it is just my ignorance of the game, but I thought that I knew all the rules of playing. Oh well, maybe I am just not as good at it as I thought I was.

That would be pretty funny. Then one of their quality assurance/tester guys could email you a letter that mirrors your own comments back at ya'.

I almost did it with an old puzzle. It was calling for a color sequence and I could never get it. My friend showed me how to do it... after telling me my tv sucked!!! He was right. Played on his tv and got it first shot. Oh well.
