Hi Steve...
Yes, I still enjoy playing games against most all of my programs, besides
setting up test positions, etc.

Even today I had a fun game with a old Novag machine called
"AquaMarine Premire plus"...(found it on ebay)...:-)

I just happened to have an AC adapter that worked fine, so I did not need to buy
batteries for it!

It plays about the same as the portable Novag Solo I used to have...etc.

regards
Rob
