Free Cell is vastly superior to Solitaire.

I dunno. The "easy" is too easy, and the "difficult" appears to be impossible.

Nah, you should run damn near 100% on easy, 40-50% on medium, and 10-15% on difficult.

I'm currently running 48% on medium, by far my favorite level.
2nd place to goes to the large grid minesweeper.

I used to have a running contest with my boss with this game. We would use the standard 99 mine board but would up the mine count by one every time one of us beat the game. By the time I left that job we were over 140. It was getting to the point when strategy went out the window and it was just a guessing game.

I wish I had that game on my computer now.

Dude I win every time on easy, most of the time on medium, but I haven't come close on difficult, not once. Maybe I'll go try again.

Big grid minesweeper's pretty fun but I always end up back on good ol' free cell.

yea difficult really sucks, I just generally play on medium seems to be a nice balance of wining to loosing.

[swiss powda]

honorable mentions to internet backgammon and reversi

Heh, My Dad is a BIG fan of solitaire, pretty much all the guy does. So, Couple years back I hide the direct link and build a new icon on his desktop, one that required he type in a password to get the game up.

The password was "Shit" - as he HATES that word.

Before the week was up, and before I could get back to his place to fix his link he had dropped 2K on a new computer so he could play unimpeded once again.

Agreed. I avg around the 80% level.

I used to play basstour 3.0 at my old job as well. It was a an old shareware game that I am sure I have somewhere. I caught Big Bertha, the biggest bass in the game, a couple of times. When I caught her the game printed a certificate and said I get a free game when I send in a copy of the certificate. Well I did and got a terse letter for not registering the game along with a 5 1/2 in. floppy disk of the new version.

Freecell is by far the best solitaire game. I don't even play any others. My wife thinks Spider solitaire rules. She's wrong.

I've recently gotten hooked on iPoker too. Awesome poker games against video opponents.

A little baksheesh to the IT dorks (a Boba Fett action figure might be a good start) opens up the entire world of porn to you. Just so you know.

[mr_gyptian]

tong,

+12 for baksheesh. you've outdone yourself.

not only porn, but about three years ago our IT guys reopened the world of Donkey Kong, Spy Hunter, Centipede and Frogger then gave access to such gems as Castlevania, Metroid, and Contra.
