Once in a Lifetime is a simple (but addictive) one-player card game
for HyperCard. It has a high-score list, statistics, and full
'balloon help'-style help, including an 'Autoplay' option which lets
the computer play the game by itself. It should work on any Mac with
HyperCard 2.1 or later and a 640x400 or larger screen.
* The cards are larger, with proper picture cards which have pictures
of real and fictional people on them - anyone from Princess Diana
(Queen of Hearts) to Fred Flintstone (King of Clubs.) There are also
Apple cards instead of Spades - I'd rather have Steve Wozniak in my
picture cards than some gardeners.
* Jokers have been added, which can do some pretty naughty things
like steal cards and change your score.
* I've fixed a problem in resetting the high scores, so that you
don't have to save them as a text file before resetting them.
* This version includes statistics on how many games you've played,
average score, how many (and the percentage of) games you've won, and
a rating which reflects your scoring, wins, and number of games
played.
* You can now import highscores from OIAL highscore files saved using
this or earlier versions of Once in a Lifetime.
* More new sounds
