About Zillions
The Zillions CD holds about one hundred games,
and many more can
be downloaded for free
from the
Zillions
of Games home
page.
(Or see
Zillions
Spiele
- die deutsche
Zillions Webseite )
New games are written
now in Zillions
all the time by people
all around the world..
Zillions is also a game description language plus an engine
that runs
it (the engine is also
on the CD).
With this language
you can describe the
rules, the board,
and the pieces of your
game and the Zillions engine
will facilitate the
game between human players
or take part in the playing
as your sparring partner.
You can also let
the engine take both
player's roles.
It might be a good idea to buy the CD for your children in
order to
put some quality games
onto their computer!
And it is great fun
for us grown-ups
as well!
