Dumb computer games

I've got spider solitaire and my browser open right now. Solitaire gets my attention while a page is loading.

Spider solitaire is fun for me. Don't have the patience to do 4 suites and just use 2. If you get 91% I suspect it is only one. If 4, you are much smarter than me.

GD Microsoft on my newer laptop with Win 10 now puts commercials in these games and wants you to pay a buck a month to remove them.

I've played over 50,000 games of Free Cell in sequence. It is nice for a mental break at work. Not too taxing. At home if my wife has a TV show I'm not interested in, I play some Free Cell.

There is a hack to load the older version of these games into 10. I imagine if you just copied the .EXE file over from XP it would work tho. Newer versions depend on a .DLL

I play Spider Solitaire since it's relaxing. I had been using the version from Windows XP, but now prefer the Linux version (called "Penguin Spider"). For one thing no machine gun sound while dealing.

You can go into options and turn the sound effect off.

I'm a programmer. My life is a frigging computer game.

I discovered that after it became annoying, so have a negative association with that version. Also, notice that I said that was ONE reason not ALL. I like the "suggestions" feature of the Linux version.
