Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection is a very nice collection of puzzle games developed by Microsoft Corporation. With ten different games created by the genius behind Tetris, Alexey Pajitnov, this collection was released more than ten years ago and features fun and brain teasing games for all family. Taking into account its year of release, its graphics are modest, but full of attractive colors and effects. Besides, there are some catchy tunes and sound effects which will do their work pretty fine. The power of this collection is in its challenging and addicting gameplay. Although the games are very easy to play as well as entertaining, it takes some time to master most of them since as you move on from level to level, they get really tricky. This is what makes the collection a worthy game to try. The games are: Fringer, Color Collision, Jewel Chase, Finty Flush, Charmer, Lineup, Spring Weekend, and Muddled Casino. All of them have a help file with their rules and instructions. In addition, download and install is a very easy process that takes only a few minutes. The Puzzle Collection trial is only 2,5 MB and its system requirements are minimal. One drawback is that the window is not resizable and there is not full screen mode. However, and despite these few minor issues, once you have tried them, you will never get tired of playing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Puzzle Collection, particularly, "Spring Weekend". I spent hours playing this game. It was challenging but did not cause any personal frustration. Hopefully, this puzzle pack will be added to the next rollout of Windows without any changes or new games added. Keep it as is!!!!! We love the 10 games.

This is only the trial version with 3 games - no Fringer. In order to install it I had to right click Properties and choose compatibility mode for Windows 98 and it installed just fine.
