Fuffy 2.0 - More Fun and Easier to Play than Ever



Fuffy.com today announced the release of a major update to the

multiplayer game Fuffy, a US$15 shareware dice game similar to

yahtzee, yatzee or yacht.



Version 2.0 of Fuffy improves the user and gaming experience by

providing 68K machine compatibility, adds an undo function to correct

wrong scoring entries, and provides more robust handling of keyboard

shortcuts. Various interface enhancements are also implemented,

including "Roll Lights" to visually indicate the progress of a game.



In addition, the multiplayer game has been enhanced by the

implementation of a score sheet, which allows players to compare

their scores against each other. Various options, some of which are

new in this version, allow smoother and faster play on older

Macintoshes.



"The new features in this new version make Fuffy more easy and fun to

play than ever. More players will be able to enjoy Fuffy as version

2.0 is now playable on both 68K as well as PowerPC Macintoshes", said

C-Y Khoo, the author of Fuffy.



Existing features of Fuffy include a customisable interface, a

versatile hints function, a resettable high score list and full

balloon help.



Fuffy has already received numerous positive reviews, including a

Four Cow rating on tucows.com. The game has been played to death by a

team of Human Interface experts, which has given its approval to

Fuffy's interface (really!).
