Has anyone actually played this game? I give this a 1 because the game concept yet easy is the worst ever. Tic-Tac-Toe has more skill then this. Either entire game is stale mate where computer keeps moving back and forth or you do that or someone sacrifices a piece. You will lose against computer everything time even on easy mode since the computer ALWAYS forces you to go force (Cheating) and will not sacrifice a ball itself. The one maybe two strategies possible the computer already knows and uses them against you. Like I said tic-tac-toe has more challenge and skill and is not rigged. If you compared this to chess this would be a joke! It is going to be un installed.

#1: They always do that; not only this site, but just about everywhere you see in this situation

I’m running XP and I can say that the game installed flawlessly. I would not recommend it for those of the GTA mindset. This is a more slow-paced, cerebral type of entertainment requiring the strategic thinking more closely associated with that of checkers or chess. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it an 8.

Sometimes I wonder if we are the ones that should get paid. I mean, any developer of software that wants market input should at least pay us for our time. Look at all this great input.

On a side note, does any one else find it strangely funny that the name of the game is Surakarta but the file name is Sukarata? Mmm, rat sucking, my favourite!

Ran this on my Vista Notebook and loved it! It downloaded and installed smoothly, ran without any problems, and I found it clean and easy to look at on the laptop screen. The game itself is terribly addicting. Maybe just because I’m so terrible at it. Even at the easiest setting the computer beats me in a matter of minutes, every time. And yet I keep trying… I have installed it on my desktop (Win2000) now also with good results and have convinced my husband he needs to try it. He is a big chess player and I think he will like this.

The game loaded and ran perfectly. It was not hard to understand how to play. The tutorial is quiet clear and very helpful. I lost my marbels {some say I did that years age}. Practice will be fun. I look forward to winning. I agree with Dave. Thanks to GAOTD. Thanks to Vampire Rat for the info. Good day to all. Heln

thank-you vampire rat for the additional info. i think it odd that the developers site says the only requirement is direct x-9c . i am glad for all of you who can afford the latest gee-gaws , but some of us cant..families , bills , ect. so cut us some slack …

I’ve enjoyed my other games from Merscome, but this game acted unstable on my computer, so I un-installed. Mouse pointer was shaky and sluggish on menu and upon exiting the game I ended up with a black screen and the game pointer. After about 40 seconds I figured it wasn’t going to close completely, so had to use cntrl alt delete to end program. Decided to dump it. Might have been a fun game but I don’t want twitchy software. Thanks anyway GGOTD.
