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

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 months ago

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

[-] madeline@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

You are inspiring me :3

[-] beneeney@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

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

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 12 points 8 months ago

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

[-] nebula42@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago

sina lawa moli seme?

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 12 points 8 months 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 8 months ago

It helps to be moderately underpaid! :D

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

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

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

old school runescape, gotta watch the numbers go up

[-] agegamon@beehaw.org 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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 8 months ago

No mobile games for you then?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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.

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months 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.

[-] Elliot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No game on fdroid has that issue

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

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

Good game, OP recommends ;)

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months 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 8 months ago

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