User Reviews

  • Works OK on Mac OS X (10.9.5) IF you go into the bin directory and launch "sy.jar"... When you start the game Mr. X moves first and you are left to move to catch him.
  • This works great! It reminds me of playing this with my friends when I was young :)
  • The board is clean and better than the original board game. Great game!
  • I really like it because I love so much the original game... this project is interesting as a first contact with JAVA an has a lot of possibilities to improve
  • It’s fun playing; it’s fun hacking. Ideal for programming beginners to get a bit into Java and AI programming.
