Solitaire-jm is a collection of typical patience
type games. It includes Patience, Freecell
and Spider. The aim of the games is to somehow
order a pile of cards by moving them on temporary piles
until the whole carddeck is in a particular order. The
exact mechanism depends on the particular game. This is
a simple concept but it keeps people playing it for
centuries.
All patience games of Solitaire-jm are well known and
they are very catching. Therefore there is not much which
one can do wrong.
The Zaurus implementation of them is well done. Although the
display of the Zaurus and therefore the cards are small they
are well readable. However, the graphics is quite plain and
besides the readability doesn't have much to offer. Although,
you can change the card backs, there is not much to choose
from.
The game play is easy, cards are dragged with the pen and they
snap to their places. Unfortunately, the cards cannot be
played by double clicking them as known from some other
patience type games.
The tested game has one more game type then the version
included in the Zaurus standard edition. In all other respects
the games do not differ much. So if you do not want that
particular game type it is not worth installing it. However, if
you do - you should as the game is well done.
