Default Hot Death Uno

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_...il.asp?id=11008

A few people had asked about finding the game Uno on their Pocket PC, and look what was submitted to us today: Hot Death Uno! I have no clue why it's called "Hot Death", nor why they have a language warning for the game (!?), but considering that they're calling it Uno and using the Uno logo, I predict this will be available for a few days at most until lawyers get involved. Did I mention that it's free? Download it fast, while you still can!

I had never heard of Hot Death UNO, but if you look at the cards you'll see what they mean about language. :wink:

http://www.geocities.com/hotdeathuno/html/cards.html

There are even some custom cards on that site that probably aren't in the Pocket PC port, like 'orgy'. The Fu@# You! card is probably there, as it is in the official 'Hot Death' rules.

Adult UNO, who knew? :lol:

Woo, source code included. So it won't disappear even when the Uno folks catch up to it.

The F@@@ card is there...

0X THIS IS NOT FOR YOUR KIDS! 0X

Since source code is included, it may be a good starting point for a tradtional version of UNO. Larger cards would be nice too.

I still hope Handmark will make an official version (complete with the variations on UNO available).

This game INCLUDES the "normal" version of UNO without all those wierd cards. Go to Tools -> Options -> Standard UNO rules.
There is another interesting option. You can select how the computer deals: Honest, Sneaky, Cheater, and Scoundrel

Man, talk about taking all the fun out of the game! I'm usually the one who gets to deal cards in an underhanded manner... :twisted:

I've never heard of Uno, but since it includes the word F***, I downloaded a copy. If it's controversial, you bet your behind I'll d/l a copy, if only to encourage the authors

Too bad about them violating copyright.. oh well, c'est la vie.

I tried accessing the Geocities site, only to get the page which includes:

The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.

However, I'd already downloaded the game - and played it once, with no idea what the cards mean!

Is violating copyrights not the same as intellectual theft ? And are warez also not a form of intellectual theft...sorry to rain on your parade, but imo you could just as well promote 'Harry Potter and the magical japanese dragon' in the e-book forums if you tolerate this.

Greets,

Ivan
