Unlike the previous reviewer, I haven't had any problems with the game on my iMac. Plus and Minus buttons speed up or slow down the game, and it can be paused with the space bar. Note, you can pause the game and give units multiple orders to do in sequence.
This game is the most realistic simulation of WWII armor and infantry tactics I have ever come across. Superb.
It makes intelligence gathering supreme and punishes you for calvary charges with tanks or troops. Just like real battles. It has hundreds of tactical options in each battle and also lowers your performance rating for reloading saved games. Brilliant.
Finally, this game made by a Russian company plays no national favorites. For once, no "good guys." You can be the Germans, Anglos or Russians in the same theaters and see the difficulties each side faced. Thoughtful.
My only problem is that once you play a campaign, you can't go back to individual chapters or scenarios. And though there is a custom scenario load feature, I haven't found where to get any.
Still, one of the best war games I have ever seen: riveting, challenging and educational.

Hoyle Card Games
When in play the first game is always the same, when the screen comes up, same characters, same cards, know exactly who will win game. Need more variety. Very boring.

Helped me relearn these 2 card games
I hadn't played either game in about 30 years and this was just what I needed to refresh my memory. There are serious glitches though. Sometimes the same card you get from the player on your right is the one that you've just passed to the player to your left.

Overall loads of fun for the Holmes
I think that overall it's a great game and the story line is great. I like the fact that there are 16 different cases to solve and they range as to how difficult they are.

really wish it could have been longer.
This is the first Agatha Christie game that I have played and after going through it I think that it really could have been longer. I like the fact that there is a story line and that the puzzles actually fit the storyline. That's a big plus.

loads of fun!
I don't need to tell you too much about the game as the previous reviewers have done so. May I just state that as a player of hidden objects games, it is getting harder and harder to find one worth playing. Lets face it, they are very similar. This game was one of those few that is unique enough to keep your interest. I wish there were more H/O that could do that & am already in search of another one.

Too bad digital download is nonrefundable
I would not recommend that anyone purchase this game for any reason. If I took the time to figure out how to "play" -I use the term loosely- this game I would find myself sick of it by the time I had even a novice appreciation for the controls. The game is totally lacking any meaningful tutorial or help section, and is basically a total piece of garbage.

Was I playing the same game?
I have the new iMac. It has a 24' screen, the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, the most powerful graphics ever available in an iMac. "With the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS and 512MB of dedicated video memory, this 24-inch iMac configuration reaches a whole new, blow-you-away level of detail and realism in games, three-dimensional graphics, high-resolution photos, and high-definition video." (as per the apple web site). I ONLY mention this because I found the Scruffs game to be the worst "hidden object" game I've ever played. While I absolutely love these types of games, this particular one was AWFUL. The images were poorly rendered, the games within the story were badly done and, after playing the demo version, I would never buy "The Scruffs" for myself, let alone for my kids. Thanks for letting me vent.
