Play65 vision

The makers of Play65 Online Backgammon have created a programme for players from all parts of the word to be able to play online backgammon anytime anyplace. No mean task, as the software they have designed is available in a variety of different languages currently 17; so if you are looking for something new and different to wind away your hours at the PC try Play65.

The requirements for the game are Pentium 133 MHZ, 32 MB of hard disk space, 64 MB of RAM, with either windows 2000 or XP operating systems. Highly recommended is to set your screen resolution to 800 X 600 with HIGH colour (16 bit) or more. Designed to work on Windows operating systems such as 200 or XP, Play65 is presently unavailable for Mac or Linux systems, but the designers are addressing this in the near future.

The other requirements are really a fast PC (broadband) rather than dial up.
Then you can start to download the game, it takes less than a couple of minutes with six easy to follow instructions to guide you through the download. The graphics are clean and easy to read with small diagrams to accompany the page that you are download, additionally hints and tips are displayed on a green background to highlight some of the game play as you watch the download.

This is always a good thing to do with software as it keeps the player involved with the download, all too often there is a download menu on the screen and an instruction to"please wait while the programme downloads", this can take several frustrating minutes and can lead to a very bored player turning off before the download completes, not so with Play65. One of the other aspects of the software and the game itself is in its security application, www.play655.com has designed a game that safeguards through encryption the player's personal details, without the possibility of an external hacking taking place. This is done by the functionality of the external server where the information is stored, rather than any game software, so that at no time is live data put onto the software, it is just carried through to the sever where it is stored in a secure virtual vault.

Sometimes because of internal security on your PC it may not be possible to download the software immediately and you could receive a message"Error while connecting to server." Please check your Internet or Firewall settings. If this occurs you will have to disable it, but Play65 will show what to do and how to re-enable the functions once you have configured your system. Also remember to change your clock and date in your operating system so that is synchronised with the software.

With these functions in place you are ready to play, a $2.00 amount is deposited into your account and you can play either as a fun player or a money player. $5.00 is added to fun player accounts automatically when their balance is empty. The game software once embedded in your PC displays the PLAY65 icon, just click this next time you want to play. The dice roll randomly and you move your checkers with either a drag or drop motion or click on the checker. The easy game play movements highlight just how much thought has gone into the development of the software, that and the randomness of the dice rolling add to the authenticity of the game.
