Ahh, the original (at least as far as Windows is concerned... I admittedly don't know the history of solitaire card games). And the last game in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection!
I played it in Draw 3 mode... I haven't yet decided if I'll go back and play Draw 1 as a different mode, or the version where you don't get to click through the draw pile once you hit the end. I feel like it makes it a fairly different game, so it should count. But we'll see.
One thing that makes me really happy is that they don't dictate which Ace goes in which slot. It sounds dumb, but I've always (since I was a little kid) put them in the same order, and when I find versions that predetermine where they go, I hate it, because it's never in the "right" order to me. For anyone who's curious, it's - from left to right - Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs.
Another thing that's pretty cool and a great time (and patience) saver: the "solve" button. It appears up there next to the draw pile once you've (a) drawn all the cards from the draw pile, AND (b) uncovered every card from below. So instead of having to drag every single card up to the top when you know you've won, you can just click the solve button and be done. It's nice.
