Parlor Pack

Parlor Pack is a collection of games from Double Oak Software and is the companion to their Arcade Pack.

As with Arcade Pack this collection of games installs as a single product and creates a 'Parlor Pack' entry in the Windows START menu within which there is a separate entry for each game together with an entry for a help file which covers the games in both packs and more. The games here are all played with the mouse and, unless indicated, they all play in a window. The games are;

• Backgammon: The traditional game with two levels of AI opponent
• Bowling: A mouse controlled game where the player controls the speed and spin of the ball as well as the pin spacing.
• Go Fish: The player plays against one two or three AI opponents in this rendition of the classic card game. They can play manually but there's also an autoplay option.
• Jigsaw Puzzle: This game plays in full screen mode and has three levels of play, the harder the level of play the greater number of pieces. Pieces are dragged into position with the mouse and, when correctly positioned, they 'click' into place. The only picture provided is a version of the Double Oak logo but it will open any file in jpg, bmp or gif format.
• Match It: This is a version of Concentration, it has two levels of play Easy and Hard and seven sets of images.
• Memory: This is a Simon Says game with three difficulty settings.
• Old Maid: The traditional card game, as with Go Fish there can be up to three AI opponents and there is an autoplay option.
• Reversal: An odd game in which the player is shown the numbers 1-9 in a random order. When the player clicks on a number it, and all the numbers to its left will be placed in reverse order. The object is to rearrange all the numbers into the correct order in the fewest possible moves

• Squares: This game is also known as Dots and Boxes. Players start with a pattern of equally spaced dots, the game comes with seven and an option to build more, and take turns connecting two dots together. When a player completes the fourth side of a square they claim that territory, when all lines have been connected the player with the most squares wins.
