100+ Great Games
Description
100+ Great Games is a collection of just over one hundred shareware and freeware casual games. Note: it is only possible to credit this product with 100+ games by counting the games within the game collections, for example counting Solitary Confinement not as one game but as eight because it is a collection of eight solitaire games.
The CD autoloads to a game browser which runs in a window. From there the player opens a game group and must select each game individually to see its details and, if they wish, to install it as well.
