Silver Creek Entertainment is proud to announce the arrival of a new age of computer solitaire games with the launch of Hardwood Solitaire III . The game is the latest in Silver Creek’s award winning line of card games that present Solitaire as it should be – an exciting game, not just another application bundled with a computer. Hardwood Solitaire III is available now for only $24.95. A free demo is also available.

Features Found In Hardwood Solitaire III But Not In Other Solitaire Games:

  • See more than 85 intriguing game layouts, including Klondike, FreeCell, Spider and many more that use 3D graphical effects.
  • Set the mood with a variety of multimedia environments, not just backgrounds, but sounds as well, to create atmosphere like a stream, ocean or thunderstorm.
  • Create your own environments and can share with others too.
  • Become one of 6 fantasy-themed Avatars.
  • Use mouse gestures, with just a flick of the wrist to undo or redo!

“Our goal is to get folks as far away from the application-like dull and drab card games of the past,” says Jonas Stewart, creative director of Silver Creek Entertainment. “Solitaire is no longer just a time killing ‘app,’ now it’s going to be something to truly entertain players.”

By combining the visual style and classic game play that players have come to expect from Silver Creek with special features found only in Hardwood Solitaire III, the game is set to change the world’s largest genre of computer games.

According to Jupiter Research, more than 25% of all internet-enabled computer users in the United States are Solitaire players – more than 23 million people – but none of them has enjoyed this totally new experience, which is more than enough to make standard “Windows Solitaire” obsolete.
