description of each game:

of GO-MAKU. Works in all display modes with excellent EGA and
640×480 VGA screens. Supports mouse and keyboard simultaneously.

Boggler is a word game for any number of players. The game displays
a 4×4 square of letters. All players try to build the longest and
most unique words in three minutes time. Great for get-togethers –
very addictive! Supports CGA, Hercules, EGA and 640×480 VGA graphic
modes. Registration is $10
As an alternative to registering individul games, all three games in the
“Dave’s Games” set can be registered for only $20. Both Pentrix and
DoubleCross have a short manual and winning strategy guides that are
sent to registered owners. Registered owners of Boggler will receive a
copy of “Mega-Boggler” (has an 8×8 letter matrix).
Another thing that really makes Dave’s Games (Boggler, DoubleCross, Pentrix) enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Dave’s Games (Boggler, DoubleCross, Pentrix). Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
