Description
I suspect that this game needs no introduction; just about everyone must have played a round of Yahtzee at one time or another. If you haven't played it, never fear, the rules are simple: you get a scorecard, five dice, and three chances to roll them. Your objective is to fill in the scorecard so as to arrive at the highest possible point total. The game is easy, relaxing and a bit addicting.
This particular implementation, MicroLink Yaht, is
nicely done, and a fine example of colorful text-mode design. If your bored with Solitaire, or
looking for something to pass a few hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon, this is your pick.

Jan-18-02 Bob Lancaster has been kind enough to send me the entire MicroLink collection
for inclusion on this site. Two of the games now have their own pages:
ML Shut the Box (download 28k) - dice game.
ML Push Your Luck (download 27k) - dice game.
ML Otra (download 28k) - Simon-like memory game. I haven't been able to get this one to
work with MoSlo, but if you have an older computer it should work just fine.
