My family's first computer came with the first Entertainment Pack which included Pegged. I played dozens of times and even recorded the winning moves for the arrangements I was able to beat. However, because the game is so simplistic, I haven't really tried to beat all of the arrangements, though I've gotten close on each of them.

Good
- The game accurately enforces the basic rules of peg solitaire.
- It's nice that the game includes several additional arrangements rather than just the traditional one.
Bad
- Games are very short. A skilled player can beat all the arrangements in a couple of minutes.
Ugly
- There is little in the way of media. There is no music, sound, or animation. No title graphics, no ending sequence.
