I saw the game on a long list of NES titles and assumed it would be an easy victory, so I played it and beat it on my third try.

Best Version: NES

Good

• The game competently enforces the rules of Klondike solitaire.
• It has a couple customization options like draw one or three cards, and the adjustment of card backs and colors.

Bad

• For 1992, the game was quite unimpressive. Most card games being released by this time included several games and options, so this one is pretty sparse by comparison.
• The graphics are good enough to identify the suits and face-cards, but still unimpressive.

Ugly

• The music is rather annoying.
