FIBS Review
Free Backgammon - Download Now!
FIBS is the First Internet Backgammon Server. Because of the fact that it is the first
internet backgammon server on the net,
there are many players that are still playing. FIBS is very popular since the 90's and still does.
The most popularity is among the Americans and you can play the backgammon games by using the command line.
It includes forums; news about backgammon, tournaments, links, data and of course, software that plays the game.
You can find two different softwares; the JavaFIBS or the 3DFIBs software.
Them both great and advanced, but each one of them was designed for different players needs.
The Java FIBS is a backgammon board where you can play several games of backgammon.
The popular game is Brade, the Swedish board- game, but you can also find there games like backgammon
(the regular one), Fevga (a Greek backgammon), Plakoto (another Greek backgammon) and hypergammon, which is a version of backgammon.
You can play the JavaFIBS with different computer platforms such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, AIX, Solaris and OS/2.
You can choose playing directly from your web browser, or download and install the software.
When you play directly from your browser there is no payment, it is for free,
but installing the software is for fee; 25$ (American), 250 SEK (Swedish) or 30 EUR (Euro).
The users that pay and registered will receive free updates of JavaFIBS.
Playing the JavaFIBS requires Java- plugin, which you can download directly from the FIBS website.
There are instructions and the installing process is very simple.
The graphics of the game is 3D, but the board is too small in comparison the screen size.
Likewise, because the amount of players is low and because you can not play until both seats are occupied,
there is a probability that you will wait a few minutes until a beginning of a game, when you choose playing
backgammon from your browser. There is a chat room where you can switch to a privacy or
public chat and you have the option to save all your matches.
