So, shortly after the first Pocket PC was launched in 2000, I bought an electronic version of the game and have kept it on each and every Pocket PC I've owned. Now there's a newer version of the game from <a href="http://www.atechware.com/">Alert Technologies</a> called "Triple Yachtzee."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/tyachtzee.gif" /><br /><br />Triple Yachtzee is much like traditional forms of the game, with one notable difference (besides the strange spelling of the name); it has many more scoring possibilities. The game allows up to eight players at a time, and you can pit yourself against human competitors or an artificial intelligence-enhanced computer opponent. As much as I like Yahtzee-like games, I may just have to grab this one.<br /><br />The demo is free, and the full version is $12.99. You can grab either one from the <a href="http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&productId=139561">Handango site</a>
