To start with, after you unzip the program, before you play the game you MUST check out a doc file titled simply help. This starts out with the history of pegs as a game, and it definitely cracked me up; I don't care if someone could provide proof of all the claims made in this history, it is still a crack-up [although I hope whoever wrote it didn't have any trouble getting his tongue out of his cheek].

Ok, now lets get serious and play. You will be prompted to enter your name, then you will see an upside-down triangle of 15 boards. Each one has a different starting position, and you click on one of them and then play that time honored game of Pegs-you know, jump a peg and remove-end up with one. I've been playing this game for about an hour and I don't know if the different starting positions help or not, that's cause ever since I was a kid, [back in the dark ages of medicine and almost everything else] the only time I EVER wound up with only one peg left-I had no idea how I did it to even attempt to do it again. So far the different positions haven't helped ME any, but the day is still young, and the old man is getting left-overs [again] tonight so wish me luck!

P.S. Before I finished this review, I tried it once more and is everyone familiar with Murphy's Law? You got it-I not only won, but I did it twice more! That is the first time in my life I have ever won [anyone can stumble on a win once in a while] and actually repeated. I'd say that makes this a fair to middling game, huh? Oh you want to know which one I won with? Top row, far left-match me!!
