You do have other games show up, right?
OK, here is the full story:

The Mini comes with version 3.4.1, which is the latest update ever released for the Mini. It is the latest official version. You could go higher, but that required manual updates.

The Beta Features available were:

- Web Browser

- Chess

- Sudoku

- SketchPad


I wanted to have Unblock It as well, so I manually updated to version 3.19.5761.

Chess disappeared, but, along with the old ones, a new game appeared: Unblock It.

Chess was still on my home screen, but didn't open when I tapped it.

After that, I updated to version 4.9.11314, and no Beta Features disappeared.

In fact, one new Beta Feature appeared: Large Print Mode (just makes fonts larger).

After that, I updated to the latest ever version: 4.10.11655.

No new Beta Features.

In fact, something wrong with the screen.

It goes distorted in some areas.

None of those versions had Solitaire or Word Find.

Just wondering, David, what version does your Glo run on?

Is it any of the versions mentioned?

So, do games vary according to firmware version, or device?
