The ENHANCED RETAIL VERSION of THE PINOCHLE BUNCH is now available!
The same pinochle games with the following additions :
1) MODEM PLAY! Modem play is great! Now you can play pinochle
with a REAL person. Either as your partner or opponent.
Message boxes at the top of the screen let you talk back
and forth via the keyboard. I'm not liable for any lost
jobs or marriages due to a pinochle addiction!
Modem play requires 2 megabytes of RAM and a modem.
Modems that must be manually dialed will not work; but
such modems are obsolete and rare.
2) SPEECH - bids, trump, and more now verbally spoken in addition
to being displayed. Sound Blaster and compatibles
supported. Your PC speaker may also be used. Like modem
play, speech requires 2 megabytes of RAM.
3) ANIMATED PLAYERS
4) 3 MORE CARDBACKS
5) CARD & FACE MAKER - draw your own players, facial expressions,
cardbacks, and decks.
6) option to view all players' hands
7) option to rotate and replay a hand to see how the computer
players would play your hand
8) option to throw in a hand when remaining tricks known
9) printed manual (includes the rules of pinochle and how to use
the program)
