Overview

Hoyle Book Of Games Volume 3: Great Board Games is a Board games collection, developed and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc, which was released in Europe in 1992. Six board games are transformed to the computer screen in the third Hoyle’s release. Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Yacht / Yahtzee, Checkers, Dominoes and Pachisi / Parcheesi all feature, with animated graphics and sound effects. As there is no time-sensitive action, and the game rules are familiar, these packs were designed to appeal to a wider range of people than most computer games. At least one human player is required - other players can be human or computer. The 18 computer opponents from the first Hoyle’s game return, many of them modeled on other Sierra characters such as Larry Laffer, and again some play ‘good’ and some play ‘evil’.
