A revolutionary collection of solitaire card games with engaging full-color graphics, original music, intriguing sound effects, and captivating 3D game play. Capitalizing on advances in todays video cards and computer processing speeds, Hardwood Solitaire III delivers all of the fun and challenge of traditional solitaire games, while significantly advancing their entertainment value. Unlike ordinary solitaire games that plunk bare-bones cards onto your screen, Hardwood Solitaire III immerses you in a magical 3D environment with animated background scenes, clever visual and sound effects, and soothing music. With more than 80 games to choose from, and a variety of difficulty levels, it's easy to find an exciting, new solitaire game to play. Hardwood Solitaire III's lighting effects tie the imagery together, and create a fantastic, inviting environment. Game play is very intuitive, with both drag-and-drop and automatic card movements available. Detailed online help is always a click away. You can customize the look and feel of the game, including card animation, auto-play, auto-finish, many visual and audio effects, and even the avatar that you choose to represent yourself. Instead of pressing hotkeys or clicking menus, you can create subtle mouse gestures that let you perform operations such as undo and redo. Players can create their own environments, and share them with friends and family. In addition to altering the background scenes, lighting effects, and sounds, you can create custom images on the card decks that you play with. Hardwood Solitaire III comes with a variety of environments and decks, and free user-created selections are available from a number of Hardwood Solitaire III enthusiasts' web sites. When you need a break from your computer work, don't run a card game program that looks like a Windows utility. Immerse yourself in a fantastic 3D world, surround yourself with magical music, and indulge yourself with Hardwood Solitaire III.
