Well, here's more or less what my card games are about. I originally wrote
them with their publication in a local magazine in mind, so they are in
Spanish.

CARDPAK2 contains:

-KLONDIKE: the classic solitaire game. This one was the first completely
joystick-driven I wrote. If you don't know the rules, get a printout from the
Windows version... that's the faster way ;-)
Too lazy to do that?  OK, then I'll tell you that the idea is to order all four suits,
starting with the aces, which are automatically placed in the proper place.
Meanwhile, you can build descending series of alternating colors, placing the
lowest-ranging cards over the highest-ranging. Kings can be moved to any
free spaces on the table. (sorry,there is no 'undo' feature) START restarts
the game with a new shuffle any time you have lost your patience.

-CRUEL: also fully joystick-driven. You can also get the rules from the
Windows version.
Here, the objective is again to re-build the suits. But this time, you can pile the
cards in descending order, same suit only, no group moving allowed. You can
retrieve the cards and lay them again on the table by groups of 4 by clicking
on the "DEAL" ("DAR") button. Again, START is for the frustrated players.

-MSWEEPER: this one is in TurboBASIC XL. It's no card game, of course, but
a version I wrote of the Windows 'Minesweeper' game. Use the joystick to move
around, the firebutton to click on which you consider a safe place, OPTION to
mark a 'bomb spot', SELECT to select the difficulty level, START to (re-)start
the game. The numbers in each cell tell you how many bombs surround that
cell. This game requires a great amount of logic dexterity...
