Unquestionably, this is by far the best "Yahtzee" type game I've played on the speccy to date. Although, admittedly I've probably still played less than half of them. A long time ago I really got into a very similar Atari ST game called "Triyahoo". This is the speccy equivalent of that popular title.
This game supports one to nine human players. The implementation is good, given that this is apparently a pure BASIC effort. The rolling of the dice is suitably fast and the user interface employs a rather common-sense usage of numeric and alphabetic keys. What really makes this game so much fun though is the "Triple" aspect. This refers to the fact that each player has three yatzhee scoring columns. Each column is subject to final score multipliers of 1,2 & 3 respectively. This affects the strategy of the game greatly, as you try to work out how to get the highest possible scores in the 3x multiplier column. This isn't always possible of course, particularly as the game forces the player to fill each row in left-to-right order of columns. You could just play the game to see what I mean as it's not something that can be visualised too well by text alone.
Sound and graphics are basic yet adequate. The BRIGHT red dice are clearly rendered. The game is in Dutch, but seasoned Yatzhee players will recognise the yatzhee scorecard layout anyway, making this something of a non-issue for many English-speaking users. Written in BASIC, theoretically it would be very easy for someone to produce a translated version if desired.
