Really???!?! This was supposed to be an improvement? I can barely see the cards in Deja Vu Solitaire, and have to magnify the screen to play. And Backgammon "cheats" now; if a player is on the bar, and the only available point in the opponent's home board is "5," then that player CANNOT rolls "2" and "3" and leave the bar!!! And this is AARP. We don't need all the splashy "bells and whistles;" we just want to play games. |

In Response to Re: New Game Area Redesign: What do you think: Yes! PLEASE bring back the old-style games!!!!!! Posted by toots19 I agree completely. There is a lot that is wrong. I could not get to the directory of all games easily. There are a few games that seem to be missing. I tried the Backgammon and it was miserable. I believe most people were happy with the previous design. AARP should realize that on the average, elderly people DO NOT LIKE CHANGE. The change was not a wise decision. |

There is absolutely no improvement. I could not find MahJong Road Trip. The Backgammon was way too funky to enjoy. From what I am reading on this forum, you should stop working on anything other than bringing the previous design back the way it seems the majority of people were happy. |
