  Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collectio for PC video game review and cheats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Microsoft has a long tradition of Entertainment Packs for Windows, beginning in 1990.
Microsoft is to be commended in making sure that the drop-down menus and options in each of the ten games are quite similar, making it very easy to get accustomed to the interface.
Microsoft seems to have a consistent tradition of releasing games (largely designed by outside development companies) that are quite polished and promising, but somehow do not quite fulfill the highest expectations or compete with the very best stuff out there.

  Microsoft Entertainment Pack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Microsoft Windows Entertainment Pack (WEP) was a collection of simply-designed computer games for the Windows 3.1 operating system.
Many of the games were later released in the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack.
A version of the Entertainment Pack called the Gamesampler, small enough to fit on a single high-density disk, was shipped as the 11th disk in a ten-pack by Verbatim for much of the early 1990s, allowing many users to acquire them as a freebie.

 Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The music is really happy and does not grate on the nerves, the colourful and ridiculously cute graphics make the screen a pleasure to look at and the controls have stacks of help and hints and are very easy to grasp.
This trial pack alone is well worth the download, the full version contains a total of ten games and a very large number of levels.
The games can be picked up and put down in seconds, there is even a Boss key (the Esc key) which instantly reduces the game to a silent shortcut on the task bar, so you can continue to work on that very interesting spreadsheet if the boss wanders past.

 IGN: Microsoft Puzzle Collection Review
Of course, we can't be at our PCs 24 hours a day, seven days a week (stay out of this, Schneider), so it's good to know that the games that were only available on the computer side of things are making their way to another medium...the Game Boy Color.
Microsoft Puzzle Collection is a six-pack of highly-enjoyable, well-produced brainteasers that originally made the gaming circuit as tiny Windows applications — but instead of taking up a floppydisc amount of space on your hard drive, they've been smooshed onto a Game Boy Color cartridge.
Microsoft's own style of Tetris without the moving pieces — you've got to fit groups of five beads on a grid, trying to form complete vertical and horizontal lines of beads.

Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection is reminiscent of those not-so-classic games that come with your new computer.
Most of the pack, however, consists of strange little brainteasers that only end up brimming with mediocrity.
The fact that Microsoft is trying to turn a quick buck is hardly surprising; it's just kind of sad.

 Game Over Online Magazine - Microsoft Arcade PocketPak
Microsoft has always been known to package entertainment software bundles from time to time.
The first Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows was a great success probably because most people were charmed by anything more complex than Minesweeper or Solitaire.
However, Microsoft is really pushing it since this title was an exclusive promotion awhile ago with new Pocket PC purchases.

Not that he hasn't tried: Pajitnov has designed or endorsed dozens of games subsequent to Tetris, but none of them have even come close to matching the appeal or success of that seminal work.
Based on the quality of the games on the disc, it would be a surprise if anyone, let alone Pajitnov, would be in a hurry to take credit for them.
Another bright spot is Lineup, a turn-based game that requires you to manipulate variously shaped objects in order to create vertical or horizontal lines (imagine Tetris in quicksand, and you've got the idea).

 The Best of Entertainment Pack On GameVortex.com
Atrocious controls, a useless instruction book (and in-game help that's not much better), and both a selection and implementation of games that leaves much to be desired make The Best of Entertainment Pack a collection that only the diehards will enjoy, not the average user.
The collection of games is also not particularly impressive, but I suppose we'll have to wait for someone to put out Chip's Challenge on the GBA--never mind the fact that it was released on the Atari Lynx years ago.
If I seem bitter, it's because this cart could have been much more than it is. Instead of a look at some of the best games collected in the various Microsoft Entertainment Packs, The Best of Entertainment Pack feels like a quickly thrown-together collection of easy-to-implement titles, without regard to UI issues or, simply, fun.

EDIT: A good reason for not having the pack is that the games were all made by different developers but were licensed to Microsoft for that Entertainment Pack.
Even as a kid I found all those games in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack rather under average and got bored of them really fast.
I remember getting this game as part of the Microsoft gaming pack which I think was pre-installed on my cutting edge Pentium 66hz Micron computer that cost almost $4000 back in 94-95 (with monitor, cd-rom drive (that was still pretty rare to have), keyboard etc).
