One of the earliest bridge games for PC, Cybron's Grand Slam Bridge is an excellent game that set new standards in the genre-- all with only ASCII characters. The game offers plenty of options and is fairly easy to follow. For example, those who want to work on exclusively their bidding can allow the computer to play out each hand, racing through the tricks in a matter of seconds. It does not have a tutorial for those unfamiliar with the game, but it is a simple yet fun diversion for those who would like to run through a quick game or two.
While it may lack the flash of more recent bridge releases, Grand Slam Bridge is nonetheless an excellent PC bridge game that remains fun even to this day, although you should check out the sequel Grand Slam Bridge II instead for a more graphically pleasing game with stronger AI.

Little known fact the person that made this game (Tim Cain) would go onto create the first Fallout game, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and The Outer Worlds. This was the first video game he ever made while he was still a freelance programmer.
Why can I not download Grand Slam Bridge II to my Kindle. I have the original on my Kindle but have been informed by Amazon that because I live in Canada, its not possible.
