Galaxy of Games: Yellow Edition

Galaxy of Games: Yellow Edition is a compilation of casual and special edition games. It is one in a series of compilations in the Galaxy of Games range that are denoted by a different colour, there are Green, Red, and Blue editions and others.

When the CD is inserted it runs automatically installing a menu system for the compilation and nothing more. When a game is selected for the first time it is installed, later selections from the same menu will then run the game. The Game browser/menu also has Demos tab which links to eGames' web site where more demo games were available, a Help section which has information on some games but for most says 'See the in-game Help section', and a Tools section which will install DirectX 7.0 and/of Internet Explorer 5.0 if required.

SE in the above list denotes a Special Edition, Shareware Edition or Standard Edition - the meaning of the initials varies from game to game but in essence this version usually has fewer levels than the full game.

The packaging promises fifty games and the above list only runs to twenty-five games, the math only works because "Solitaire 25" is counted as twenty-five games.
Some of these games. such as Crossword Mania and Crossword Maniawere released as full titles by eGames, Inc.. Many, if not all, of the Special Edition games have appeared on other compilations, for example:* Alchemist and Glowing Bugs appear in both Office Games and Galaxy of Games: Gold Edition
