Hoyle Official Book of Games: Volume 1 was a collection of card games, developed and published by Sierra in 1989.
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'.
From Sierra, makers of the bestselling King's Quest adventure series, and the Walt Disney personal computer software staff. Seventy three-dimensional screens more detailed than any seen before, in up to 16 colors- watch as animated characters pass in front of trees, behind rocks, and around other characters! Six built-in arcade sequences and mazes, including a moat teeming with hungry alligators, a slippery castle wall with guards tossing boulders down, and teetery rocks that form a path across a treacherous swamp. Multiple solutions and variable scoring- follow the movie's storyline, or use your imagination to maximize your score; play again and again, each time discovering new twists.
