Dominoes is the product of another well established company with a good track record, Phipps Associates, and a good simulation it is too.

Particularly impressive is the screen display. You play against the computer and your hand is displayed on screen throughout the game, together with the current scores, the 'end' dominoes and a record of the dominoes played.

The winner is the first player to score 72 points - scoring following the traditional 'divisible by three or five' rule. Watch out - the computer plays an intelligent game and is not easily beaten.

My only criticism is that the computer can take some time to respond and it can be frustrating having to wait for the necessary screen update. As this is a lengthy program, loading time is also protracted. However, Dominoes is an enjoyable game and proves a good opponent.
