Classic Board Games

Play a bunch of classic Milton Bradley games on your computer, hosted by a 3D cel-shaded Italian guy who likes to rhyme.

Its sister game, Classic Card Games, contains most of the unused content found here.

Unused Text#

No Text#

Connect Four and Pente require no text, so their respective language files (Connect4.eng and Pente.eng) contain the following:

no text for Connect Four

no text for Pente

This is the same for Classic Card Games, except with the games Solitaire and Racko.

charsound.dat#

This file controls what sound effects play for each character-specific animation. It also comes with a handy guide.

#this file contains the data for characters
#all you need to enter is the following.
# what character index 1-10, what expression index 1-12, and what sound 1-1000
#make sure there is only one entry per line and the last line should have ~ by it's self.
#example:
#10,2,32
#to create a remark just put a # and then your remark note the # must be the first character of the line.

The comments also list some characters under an early name.
