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
