Omar Sharif on Bridge

DOS - 1992
Also available on: Amiga - Atari ST - Windows 3.x

Oxford Softworks and Interplay's first bridge game, Omar Sharif on Bridge won endorsement by famous actor and world-class bridge player Omar Sharif, and for good reason.

The game is an excellent full-featured bridge game, with excellent computer AI and competent on-line hints. Although Electronic Arts' Grand Slam Bridge sports better graphics and more intuitive interface, Omar Sharif easily surpasses in terms of tough computer opponents and ther sheer number of gameplay options, including cosmetic ones such as changing graphics for the back of the cards. You can even recreate historical matches by entering the moves manually, and play from any point onward.

Overall, Omar Sharif is a well-rounded program that is perfect for bridge beginners, since its excellent tutorial and hints are very useful to anyone who has never played bridge before. The lack of tournament options or career mode may turn off bridge veterans who are looking for a long-term game-- they would be well advised to try QQP's Bridge Olympiad instead, since that game is targeted towards intermediate and advanced players.

1) this is a dos game, from 1992. dos and windows are two different operating systems. how do you people even end up on these pages without some basic understanding of this.
2) you cannot "damage your screen" running a program. did you get that laptop from your grandson, just have them steal games for you.

I have a new laptop - windows 8.1. It won't allow me to run this program. "might damage the screen".
