I've used BGBlitz on Windows and it's fantastic. However, it immediately crashes on launch on Mojave. I've got the latest Java installed too.

BGBlitz was the king of backgammon games on the Mac, but sadly I no longer play it because I simply refuse to install Java. I hope it gets rewritten but it's starting to look suspiciously like abandon-ware. A shame.

Poor interface/Menus. Not even minimal effort to adhere to Mac look and feel guidelines. Lazy. Numerous short cuts don't work. Poor dice randomization. Favors the computer player. Makes for frustrating play. Wonder what else doesn't is broken.

Version 2.7.2 is online. when TachiAI III was used, the level of play was always Expert, independent of the selected playing strength. What a pain for casual players this must have been. Sorry! under heavy load the wrong dice could be displayed. Fortunately this was rare. a memory leak was plugged some erroneous Tutor hints were removed a deadlock could happen pressing ^G if ^F was already pressed and some small improvements at the first roll, one dice is shown on the left and one on the right side of the board BGBmips support for 3, 6 and 12 CPUs improved visibility of numbers on white checkers better detection of usable screen area on Linux drag & drop support for position database files
