> Does Megasoft Backgammon cheat?
Bookmark topic
I'm running Backgammon by Megasoft2000 on my P990i and am beginning to suspect that it's cheating . . .
I haven't actually registered it yet (and it's now taking over a minute to start a game because of the nag time added each time you play) because of several flaws which I have emailed them about (no response as yet) and am wondering if it's giving itself just the right rolls at the right time as payback??
Anyone else got this version and are seeing the same behaviour?? No game is this lucky surely?

Not got it for my P990i but I had this software for my Palm and I was always suspicious that it was being a little naughty, depending on the skill level you select.
I think what makes me more suspicious is that the program:
* thinks
* shows the rolled dice
* moves the counters
I think it should show the rolled dice first and then do its thinking - that way we know it's not cheating (much).
Edited to add: What flaws have you noticed? Even though I thought it was cheating, it's quite a nice diversion...

Nice diversion yes but it does wind me up sometimes . . . the thing that makes me more convinced is the, sometimes, stupidly agressive way it plays, leaving itself open but knowing that it's going to give itself the one possible roll next time to make everything right 8-|
I have notived a couple of occasions where it's only let me bear off with 2 of my 4 dice (if I've doubled), selecting only one person to autoroll dice for does nothing (you have to have both on or off for that to work) and automove doesn't work for bearing off at all as far as I can tell. I did have a problem with the undo feature only allowing the first of your moved dice to be undone but that seem to have changed since I updated the firmware and was forced to reinstall because the SE backup probram only actually backs up half your stuff!!

This game is great! I bought one backgammon from SE software site. It was so bad you couldn't even play it. This one is atleast playable.
