Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: The World's Best-Loved Word Game Product InformationIt's Scrabble like you've never played it before!America's favorite word game goes digital! Put your tiles to the test againstMaven the games challenging artificial intelligence or play friends dire Amazon.com Review: If you can't find anyone to play with you because you're just too good--or you just don't like cleaning up little wooden tiles--the Scrabble CD-ROM is for you. Up to four players (human or computer) can play on a variety of boards and backgrounds (try chrome in the desert for that Road Warrior look). You can choose your computer opponent from five levels of difficulty, from Novice to Champion, or you can create your own custom opponent, based on a chesslike rating. Play is speedy and satisfying; the sounds of the tiles clicking on the board are alarmingly realistic. You can challenge words, be challenged yourself, or find definitions of words you don't know in the online Official Scrabble Dictionary. (You can even receive hints and suggestions from the "Maven.") Online multiplayer is in full force, too. Play with bored students in Oxford using the network features; though this slows the game down depending on your Internet connection rate, you'll find you need more time to crush your human challengers anyway. Sharpen your skills with the minigames: find two- or three-letter words, do anagrams, or find the best play with a given setup. Even if you're a regular Scrabble player, you should find yourself returning to your computer time and again, either to brush up or to try again against the champion. --Rob Lightner Amazon.com Product Description: Scrabble, the ultimate interactive word game, is now better than ever, with new features and colorful graphics. Mini Scrabble games, Anagrams, Rackagrams, and Tournaments help users hone their skills. Play Speed Scrabble for a quick fix, or customize your board look. Play against Maven, the most formidable artificial intelligence ever developed for Scrabble, or challenge other players at home, down the street, or across the country with full-featured network and Internet play. Rich 3-D graphics, an on-board dictionary with pop-up definitions, new animated Maven, and user-adjustable skill levels all combine to take Scrabble to a whole new level of fun. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Word funI had an earlier version of this game, but the newest version has a lot more bells and whistles, my wife and I love to compete! Rating: - Main Problem with XP (Possible solution)I have found when I first tried to play the scrabble game, I had the same problem of the screen going blank and machine crashing. I have found once the software is installed, if you find the main loading file, usually .exe extention in the location you installed it too, and right click on this file and choose properties, you can then choose compatibility, I selected run in 256 colour mode and the game runs fine. I hope this helps. Rating:  - Scrabble Complete - Serious Problems EncounteredSystem requirements for this game include Windows XP. It loaded up fine, but would produce a blank screen when I tried to run the program. I went to the Atari website where the FAQs advised that all programs running in the background would have to be closed. This means I would have to drop my virus scanner and firewall in order to play the game and I was unwilling to do so since I have an always-on connection. I loaded, uninstalled and reloaded this program twice. It TOTALLY messed up ...

The game has a faulty copy protection scheme - it requires the CD to be in the drive to play, but then fails to recognize that the CD is present. I spent hours trying to get this game to work because I didn't want my son to feel bad about the gift he gave me. Infogrames tech support was worse than useless (their toll support number is disconnected, they take 4-5 days to respond to email and advise you to reconfigure ...
