About
Once in a Lifetime is a simple (but addictive) one-player card game for HyperCard. It has a high-score list, statistics, and full 'balloon help'-style help, including an 'Autoplay' option which lets the computer play the game by itself. It should work on any Mac with HyperCard 2.1 or later and a 640x400 or larger screen. * The cards are larger, with proper picture cards which have pictures of real and fictional people on them - anyone from Princess Diana (Queen of Hearts) to Fred Flintstone (King of Clubs.) There are also Apple cards instead of Spades - I'd rather have Steve Wozniak in my picture cards than some gardeners. * Jokers have been added, which can do some pretty naughty things like steal cards and change your score. * I've fixed a problem in resetting the high scores, so that you don't have to save them as a text file before resetting them. * This version includes statistics on how many games you've played, average score, how many (and the percentage of) games you've won, and a rating which reflects your scoring, wins, and number of games played. * You can now import highscores from OIAL highscore files saved using this or earlier versions of Once in a Lifetime. * More new sounds
