Casey's Solitaire Casey's Solitaire is based on a card game called "Auld Lange Syne" and is a challenging game to win. Multiple options are provided, however, to Allow the user to control the difficulty of game play, making Casey's Solitaire fun for everyone from young children to card-savvy adults. When played strictly by the book, Casey's Solitaire is addictive on its own. But what sets it apart from other solitaire games is the option to let Casey, the author's parrot, out of his cage. When Casey tries to "help" you play solitaire...well, let's just say that if you have ever wondered if you could live with a parrot, this might help you decide. The Kleenex is on the house.

MetaCard's smooth handling of animation and its scriptable graphics objects made Casey's Solitaire possible. Without it, you would have had to provide your own cards and your own parrot. This way is a lot easier -- and you don't have to clean the cage.

Casey's Solitaire is available for download at HyperActive Software's web site in our product example pages.
