Klondike: Solitaire for Mac, continually updated for 32 years by same man

The actual history of the program (1984 to present) can be found on this page:

A co-worker of mine liked playing this game when we were working on Mac software in the early 90's.

There's something very zen about Solitaire games. I've been building them for over a decade, spanning the gamut from http://kylecards.com (no updates in over a decade!) to my latest game, https://solitaire.gg - I really admire this person's dedication, maintaining an app like this is hard work - particularly when it takes place over decades.

I like this sort of thing considering how much of my own code gets replaced even me over just six months on a project. I doubt I'll ever make anything that'll stick around longer than a couple years. So, it's nice to see someone actually creates something that stays around longer than just a year.

I like the clever separation of free and paid versions

Free has 4 pre shuffled decks

So anyone looking for replay value would want to pay, and the casual disinterested person would still have some fun with the free version.

Oh, that is so cool! I remember playing Klondike as a kid on our old black-and-white Mac (Plus? Classic? something like that). Great to know that he's still around and still in business.

I love that you can still download a 68K version!
