MVP Backgammon is a great backgammon game. If you don't know how to play backgammon it will teach you and if you do you can choose between beginner or intermediate computer players or play against another human. The move menu offers Undo, Suggest, and Show Last options. You can use the define players option so you don't have to anonymous adding your name and choosing between 10 portraits set in medieval time.

There are several options that you can use to set up the game to suit your taste. Preference allows you to set certain features to auto such as roll and pass. It also lets you do things like choose when sound is being played, change music tracks (you have a choice of 3), set the computer move speed, and change the fonts. Of course you have the option of turn sound and/or music on or off.

This is great game. The sounds and graphics are outstanding. Some of the sounds made me laugh like when the computer said "you got me". If you want to play an expert computer opponent you have to register it. Other benefits of registering include single game and tournament play, different board and stone graphics, different screen sizes, more music and sound effects, a printed manual, and the options of wagering, doubling, and manual dice. Definitely a game to check out.
