Still my favourite Sudokuu game to play, even if it's a struggle to get it to run these days (ironically, it so-far runs no problem on Wine under Linux, but last time I tried, crashed out on Windows..) Would love to see it updated for higher screen resolutions, but not really that necessary, very relaxing, I tend to play it in the early hours before I'm attempting to get to sleep (night owl who works day-time hours = frazzled brain ! )
