Release Information......

(Back o The Box Shizzzzit)

Your enemy's sub is rigged for silent running. Your depth charges have
done serious damage - then, BOOM! a missile from below sends your
mightiest battleship to the bottom of the sea. The family favorite of
strategy and tactics takes on a whole new dimension in Hoyle Battling
Ships. Watch missiles fly and ships explode in fiery displays of
destruction before sinking to the inky depths. Plus fight to the finish
in the classic card game of War. Animated opponents in both games make
them so entertaining, even losing is fun.

Features:

- 12 Animated, Interactive Characters
- Adjustable Character Attitude and Skill Levels
- Internet Play on Battling Ships
- 7 Bracing Battling Ships Variations
- Personalize with 25 different backgrounds
- Easy To Use Interface
- 3 Rousing Variations of War
- Authentic Hoyle Rules

Rip/Crack/Install Info.....

Well, I ripped about 250mb of non-essential files. This release is nothing
like the X-Fools where i was inexperienced. Trust me, this was ripped and
cracked perfectly, and i guarantee you it works.

How To Install and Play:

First Unzip, then UnACE, and run bw.exe to play. You will need a whole lot
of free space, because decompressed, this game is 240 megabytes. Enjoy!
