600 games, 60 spider games or 75 popular games - you decide.
Funsol Solitaire arrived right around the same time Pretty Good Solitaire did. In its early days it was the largest collection around until Thomas Warfield lurched ahead of it with 200 games in 1998.
Funsol has undergone many cosmetic changes throughout its life. The latest version is pretty amazing with the card sizes. If the layout is small and the window is resized to a fairly large size, the cards are simply huge!
Funsol Solitaire pretty much has all of the standard features and a bit more as well. The card counter counts any part of the layout you choose. After a game is completed be sure to try the Select undo position option.
This allows you to 'warp' to any point in the game instantly. Its a nifty feature. Game selection in Funsol is very powerful, if not a bit intimidating. Any attribute can be selected with precise accuracy.
One last interesting feature with Funsol is the short suits. After playing a game of Pyramid, I noticed it was all spades! In a paring game like Pyramid, the suits don't matter, but why all spades?
Turns out Funsol has a short suit feature that defaults to enabled. Only the amount of suits needed are displayed.
Softgame Company started in Vermont
'The Softgame Company of Vermont is nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont' is what the original web site said. Started in 1994 Softgame Company has changed hands a few times in its lifetime.
It was started by a small company in Vermont and was then called 'The Softgame Company of Vermont'. In 1997 Softgame Company was then sold to an entrepreneur in Massachusetts.
After a short stint there, the current owner bought Softgame Company in 2001 and began to market the products vigorously.
Sales have increased nearly ten fold and may pose a threat to the king of solitaire,
Goodsol Development.
The owner from Massachusetts that once owned Softgame Company now works for Solitaire Systems, the owner of this web site.
