Windows: BG by George (player) From:   Stuart Cracraft Address:   cracraft@pogo.gnu.ai.mit.edu Date:   29 July 1991 Subject:   Re: Computer versions of BG Forum:   rec.games.backgammon Google:   17266@life.ai.mit.edu The best Backgammon I've seen runs under Windows 3.0. It is called "Backgammon By George!". Let me explain. The frustration I had with the above three programs and the fun I had had with BKG, Hans Berliner's old program, years ago, playing it, sort of convinced me to keep a watch for up and coming backgammon programmers in the hopes that someday a good backgammon program would surface. The long and short is that Backgammon By George! came out by a fellow named George who I befriended. I chose the name for the program and you'll see my name in the instruction booklet copyright/credit page and on the retail product box. The program plays moderate backgammon. It is not near expert, so don't think you'll be getting an expert-level program or anything. Its interface is fantastic, very slick, completely integrated with Windows.
