-
- Lost your deck of cards? You can
-
- still while away those cold winter
-
- nights with this program and your
-
- faithful companion, C-64.
-
- This version of solitaire plays
-
- very much like the traditional game
-
- of Klondike--with some of the more
-
- popular variations thrown in.
-
- The object of the game remains the
-
- same: free up your aces to start
-
- foundations and then build those
-
- foundations by suit up through the
-
- kings. Layout is also the same.
-
- Play of the cards is similar to
-
- Klondike. A card may be placed on
-
- another card of the next highest rank
-
- of a different color. For example,
-
- black eights may only be played on
-
- red nines.
-
- This game recognizes the variation
-
- that permits only a portion of a
-
- build to be moved. For instance, if
-
- you had a build that consisted of the
-
- nine of diamonds, eight of spades,
-
- seven of hearts, and six of clubs,
-
- you could move the seven of hearts
-
- onto the available eight of clubs.
-
- Each time you uncover a card turned
-
- face down, that card is turned face
-
- up and is available for play. Spaces
-
- in the columns may be filled only by
-
- kings.
-
- Play is controlled from the command
-
- line near the bottom of the screen.
-
- To see the next card in the pack,
-
- press "C".
-
- To play a card, press either "D" to
-
- indicate you want the top card of the
-
- pack or press the row number (1-7) in
-
- which the card you want to play is
-
- located.
-
- If there is only one card face up
-
- in the row you indicate, you next
-
- indicate where you want the card
-
- moved to--Aces foundation or another
-
- row.
-
- If there is more than one card face
-
- up in the row you indicate, you must
-
- specify which card you want moved,
-
- then specify where to move it. All
-
- cards built on the card you specify
-
- will move with it.
-
- Press "Q" to quit when a game is
-
- blocked. When you press "Q", all
-
- cards still turned face down will be
-
- turned face up so you can see where
-
- the game got blocked.
