VGASOL is a pyramid solitaire game. It requires VGA and a mouse.
It's a Shareware program that I'm asking $5 for, if
you like it enough to play more than a few times.

HOW TO PLAY VGASOL
------------------
When you run it, you'll see 28 cards, face up, in the
shape of a pyramid, and the rest of the 52 cards in a
deck at the top right of the screen.
A mouse cursor arrow is at the top of the pyramid of
cards.
A "button" area is at the top left of the screen. To
exit, or to play another game, or to get some minimal
help, move the cursor arrow to this "button" area and
press a mouse key. A menu will appear below it. Move
the mouse cursor to your choice and press a mouse key
to select it.
The object of the game is to remove all the cards by
removing them in pairs of cards whose value add up to 13.
Cards count face value, except:
Ace = 1
Jack = 11
Queen = 12
King = 13
The King counts as a pair and is removed by itself.
Choose the pair of cards to be removed from cards that
aren't covered by other cards. Move the mouse cursor
to the first card to be removed and press a mouse
button. That card will turn darker. Then move the
mouse cursor to the second card and press a mouse
button. If both cards add up to 13, they'll disappear.
You can take cards from the deck by moving the mouse
cursor to it and pressing a mouse button. You can
start over with the deck (after you've taken all the
cards from it) by moving the mouse cursor to the space
where the deck was, and pressing a mouse button.
The odds of winning are about 1 in 5, from my experience;
you win more often if you plan ahead.
Version 2 just fixes a few things, and adds a display of 10
decks of cards thrown on the screen if you win.
Enjoy.
