A Must have
A must have. All the games are not good, but the chess game and some other games are good. A good time pass when you are tired.

Pleased with product
I am enjoying the games, but am not familiar with all of them. There were no game rules/instructions with a few of them, so am trying to figure them out. I recommend the game pack overall.

Happy with the games
Having these games on my iPAQ makes the drive to school much more fun for my 11 year-old son.

Expected just a bit more from Microsoft for the Money
For the amount of money to get these particular 10 games, all of which either turned up as a game that shipped with one or more versions of windows and a few others that were in previous Entertainment Paks for Windows, 10 games that required little additional programming to port to the new Pocket PC platform was bit for a disappointment for the money. On the other hand, these are the games that many of us who work with a desktop or laptop at other times are familiar with, and most are easy to play in a screen where control of the on-screen activity is mostly a stylus or entering words. There are a number of games from previous entertainment paks that could have been ported and included and were not. That was disappointing, as it would be nice to change out these 8-10 games to keep something 'fresh' to do while waiting in lines, for a table in a restaurant or in a doctor's office. You can only play solitaire for so long and not get really bored.
