In the demo version, if you use the variant menu to choose between Pro, Skilled, etc, then click the Zillions logo to have all games available - you cannot start any game. It pops up a "This feature is unavailable in the demo version" dialog. you have to choose "Select Game" from the File menu (Ctrl+G) before any game will play.

The error messages like "Not a valid move", "That is not your piece", etc are annoying to have to click on "OK" in the message box to close. The messages could be displayed in a manner that does not require the user to have to click to dismiss them.

all right, browsed around the forum a bit. seems like the dev's are AWOL. here is a SelectDemo.zd2 that removes the "bug" I mentioned. Still working on something to handle the excessive MessageBox's.

ATTENTION! THE ZOG WEBSITE/INTERFACE WILL BE REMOVED ON FEB 27, 2015 -> NO NEXT-GEN VERSIONS -> MALLETT and LEFLER BROKE UP AND QUIT.

WIKIPEDIA search: ZILLIONS OF GAMES for other details.
