Subject: Once in a Lifetime 2.0
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
