Minesweeper my beloved. Is that game still on Windows PCs? I just know it's preinstalled on Debian

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago

Solitaire and Minesweeper still exist, but they were replaced with ad-filled versions

[-] Smorty 11 points 1 year ago

Oh really? Didn't even know one could ruin these games.

[-] madeline 7 points 1 year ago

there’s a website that has an installer for the windows 7 games, but ever since windows 8 all of the games have to be downloaded from the microsoft store and they’re all full of ads and even lag. genuinely their new minesweeper runs at a few seconds per frame most of the time on my pc

Even if some card game was to be pre installed the company removed anything it considers to be bloatware so I use the Solitaire & Minesweeper that Google has built in (Web Browser looks less sus as well)

At a shop that I used to work at, there were some large CNC routers that had aftermarket controls on them. They all ran Windows. On one particular machine, they forgot to Uninstall the Space Cadet Pinball.

We would spend way too much time playing that while appearing to work while the machine ran. One guy eventually ruined it by opening it in front of the boss.

Reminds me of the Brickout game that kept popping up on all the computers in highschool. One time the teacher went through every machine to purge it from the system and then the next day a classmate sent it to everyone in class as an attachment through the school email.

He had the teacher on his class mailing list.

www.freecivweb.org

Also Vimm’s lair has tons of old titles that can be emulated in browser.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Ohh, I hope the company firewall lets me try this (otherwise I'll just hotspot)

How does one find it?

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You are inspiring me :3

[-] beneeney@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Nethack for me. It's nice being able to SSH into the gameserver from practically any computer.

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 12 points 1 year ago

Same, except that's also me at work when there's a lot to do but I don't wanna uwu

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would be me if my work morale wasn't so god damn stereotypical German :')

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

It helps to be moderately underpaid! :D

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a trainee. I'm glad I'm getting paid at all :')

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 12 points 1 year ago

Dcss works in any browser and is the best game of all time.

[-] nebula42@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

sina lawa moli seme?

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

old school runescape, gotta watch the numbers go up

[-] agegamon@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

NYT crossword for me (just because it's there next to wordle, not specifically because I love nyt or anything)

Also has the cool added side effect of raising my blood pressure and make me feel progressively more stupid as the week goes on. I don't even try the Friday ones anymore.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No mobile games for you then?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 1 year ago

Minesweeper and solitaire aren't filled with ads and don't force you to pay money to play more than 5 minutes at a time.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven’t played a mobile game in a while as I’ve mostly preferred to play on the switch, but I remember not all mobile games had ads

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're right. But those without ads usually limit how much you can do every 24 hours, unless you pay for something, though.

A good, ad-free, no BS mobile game is rare within the sea of whale-hunting, money-grabbing, shovelware that is the mobile market. Most of them are just ports from other platforms, anyway. Like Phoenix Wright trilogy or Papers, Please.

[-] Elliot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No game on fdroid has that issue

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ngl I got minesweeper on my phone because I got hooked on it. Paid 2 bucks for the no ad version, never looked back.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer my work laptop because it looks the least sus •~•

Good game, OP recommends ;)

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I put a copy of Epic Pinball and Dosbox on a flash drive, which I took with myself to school.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I once installed FlatOut 2 on the school PCs and friends and I were playing Multiplayer. Great times ^^
