"Crib 3000" is a true computer cribbage game. In many ways it's actually better than the real thing. With 5 different personalities to play it can challenge the novice player all the way to the truly "professional" players of the cribbage world. Wait, there's more! We've all seen the other cribbage games out there, and they're "okay". One computer player, little graphics, and rather basic. Not "Crib 3000"! "Crib 3000" is chock full of graphics, options, and movement. Not only does the game look real, it feels real! For the true cribbage experience on the computer, "Crib 3000" is frankly the best!

Playing Screen:
When you start off you will notice the computer cuts the cards for you. The lowest card will then start blinking announcing that that person is the dealer. The board is basically just that, the cribbage board. You will notice two boxes below the board and three to the right of the board. The two at the bottom contain who is playing who, with the computer player on top and the human player (you) on the bottom. These boxes contain the total scores of the players. One will also have a red dot announcing who the dealer is. The three boxes on the right tell different things. The middle one will count up during the lay down as cards are played. Once the laying down is done it will have the score of the appropriate hand in them. Another way to tell who the dealer is is by which side the deck is on. On the top it is the computers deal, on the bottom it is your deal.

PREVIOUS RELEASES
"Alien Action Dome": Our first venture into shareware. Although not the best, it was a modest start. It's an action arcade game where you run around collecting bowls of alien sugar worms and avoid big nasty dudes. It can be found at most major FTP sites.
"Please, Shoot Me!": This was our second release into the shareware world. Even we were surprised with many of it's good reviews. It is a game where cute little creatures run across the screen in many different directions. The goal is to shoot as many as you can. It has great music, lots of cute sounds and delightful graphics. It can be found via our web site and at most major FTP sites.
Future games(hopefully),
Funky: We may choose strange names for games but that's half the fun. Funky will be a futuristic space game (NO ASTEROIDS OR SPACE INVADERS STYLE).(Cheers anybody?) Flying through space you must dodge asteroids, (BUT IT'S NOT "ASTEROIDS") blow up bad guys, save a few worlds, the galaxy, and a few people flying through space. 256 colors, fast action, flying ships with big pointy teeth... oops, uhm, well, you can have up to 6 different weapons. It will be awesome, hopefully.
Winky the Wizard: A scrolling side action game with nasty monsters of many different varieties, lots of animation, dangeous pitfalls, and lots of fun. The goal of the game? Haven't quite figured that one out yet but we're working on it. This is probably the next one out! Check the web site for current screen shots of the alpha version.
