Gameplay

[edit]

Solitaire's Journey includes a variety of solitaire games, which can be played in the campaign style of either transcontinental trip or haunted house.[1]

Development

[edit]

Solitaire's Journey was designed by Andrew Visscher, who pitched it as an "unsolicited submission" to Quantum Quality Productions.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Allen L. Greenberg reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Journey will prove an effective way of satisfying that primal appetite for entertainment."[3]

According to Computer Gaming World, Solitaire's Journey was a commercial success.[2] Jeff Koke reviewed Solitaire's Journey in Pyramid #1 (May/June, 1993), and stated that "This is not the type of game that eats your brain for 10 hours a day, but it's not meant to be. Instead it's a game that provides a new twist on a very old pastime, and does it admirably."[4]

In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Solitaire's Journey the 72nd-best computer game ever released.[1]
