As the name implies, 42 All-Time Classics features a total of 42 famous games; all playable via the simple touch screen control of Nintendo DS. That means no cards to shuffle, no boards to set up and no tiny playing pieces to lose.

Among the 42 are classic card games like Black Jack and Texas Hold 'Em, cerebral challenges like Ludo and Chess, and fun pub favourites such as Solitaire or Darts.

With 42 All-Time Classics, not only are you carrying a whole game compendium in your pocket but also there's always someone to play against. All games in 42 All-Time Classics can be played against or with the computer. Plus, if you fancy your chances against human opposition you can link up wirelessly with other Nintendo DS owners. And if that's still not enough of a challenge, you can even go online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and face challengers anywhere in the world!

Not all games featured in 42 All-Time Classics are available straight away, so you'll need to 'unlock' them all by proving your skills in the Single Player mode. See the Single Player section for more details.

Some games support the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak (sold separately). If a Nintendo DS Rumble Pak is inserted into the Game Pak slot, it will rumble to signify when it's your turn to play.
