1404 - Games

That's what the directory is called. (for PC people) (you know, normal people) Usually before I log off the PC I'll play a quick microsoft video game. I don't need to conquer civilizations or anything near that complicated. Quick game, win or lose, log off.

So what are the games? Minesweeper, Freecell, Spider solitaire and plain ol' solitaire.



I play the intermediate game on minesweeper. If you play it often enough you'll come up with a decent score every once in awhile. Most of the time I finish in the 100 to 120 second range. Best time ever for me was 65 seconds. One of these days I'll get under a minute. I usually don't play the beginner but I have done single digit times on that one. Yes I know there's a cheat.

Freecell is another one I play a lot. The highest I've ever managed on it was 1206. Some people on line say they have managed in the mid teens. I don't think I could put that much effort into it to get a score that high.

Spider solitaire is a win or lose game. Most of the time I win but sometimes there is just no possible way to win.

Regular solitaire is ..... boring? ..... Na, just old.

I play intermediate spider. I used to play freecell and have kind of forgot about it. I think I'll go back and see if I remember how to play it.

I go to MindJolt.com and bowl a couple of games. I pretty consistently score around 200 and my high game is 245. That's gonna be hard to beat.

B - Ispider is to much work for a quick game and log out.

J - Thanks for the link.

I used to NEED to get the beginner Minesweeper to single digits before I could close the game. Haven't tried it in awhile though.

Have you tried the Lumosity.com games yet. They're fun.

A - I think you've mentioned Lumosity.com before. It sounds familure. Now I have two places to check.
