Title: poor random design
Review: I've had this disc for 10 years. I recently noticed that the Microsoft version of Klondike called Solitaire has a poor random deal generator. I spotted repeating patterns after playing a few dozen games. So I dug out my Ultimate Solitaire by Valusoft and began playing Klondike. Within a few dozen games I again spotted repeating patterns. I am guessing but I think both Microsoft and Valusoft use a random number generator in the operating system and either neither of them know how to increase the randomness or neither company knows how to write its own random number generator. I suspect that all of Valusoft's solitaire games use the same random number generator, thus all of the games suffer from the same lack of random shuffles of the cards. The games are fun but don't expect the shuffles to "always" give you a different game. But there are a lot of games and it will take you a long time to try them all.Hue
