- Description:
-
- Solitary Croquet for Windows 3.0 allows one to play croquet with one ball
- and a mallet and nine arches. The arches are numbered one thru nine. The
- object of the game is to hit the ball with the mallet by selecting the
- distance and direction the the ball will take to go tru an arch. The ball
- must go tru the arches in sequential order (1 to 9). However, at least 20
- shots (maybe more) are allowed to hit the ball thru the nine arches.
- hitting the ball thru an arch depends on the selected disance; the shorter
- the distance the greater the chance of the ball qoing thru the arch.
