Windows Games

[Nova Flame]

Has anybody played games on Windows, like Freecell and Minesweeper? What are your fastest times or highest scores?

I've managed a fast time of 196 seconds on Minesweeper Expert level, and 72 straight wins on Freecell (not at the same time, of course).

I'm horrible at those, I always had a hard time beating Minesweeper even on easy mode, lol. Marshie is good at it though o.O I remember her and the younger of my older brothers had this competition thing going on over who could beat Minesweeper on easy mode the fastest. I think Marshie got her time down to 9 seconds and our bro 10...or the other way around, lol. I dunno, but it was funny because of how competitive they were being over a computer game. We've got Free Cell on our computer, but I've never played it. I like pinball a lot though ^.^ Marshie's high score was in the millions and mine was just a wee bit behind that in the 900,000s.

I got the easy mode down to four seconds at one point, but then I had to reformat my computer and I lost the record. Now it's like 10 or 11 seconds. The trick to getting the fastest time is luck and skill. You have to know how the system works, and then you have to pray that you don't have to do a lot of guessing because then your chances drop significantly.

I don't play Pinball as much. I think I got into the one or two millions at some point, but it was a long, long time ago so I don't remember.

Lol, I'm not good at pinball even if I like it so I could see a score of 2 million easily for someone else. 4 seconds?? !!! I didn't even know that was possible on Minesweeper. Wow, lol. I think my fastest time is 30-somethin' seconds...which I would assume is pretty pathetic. o.O;

I was just clicking randomly on that setting and it just turned out that way. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so I doubt I can get it that low again. Minesweeper isn't that hard once you figure out how to play the game. The number tell how many mines surround it, so it's actually a pretty easy game to pick up and very addicting.

I've never really gotten addicted to minesweeper, but occasionally I will play solitaire or pinball--especially if I'm waiting for someone to do something or for the Internet to load... Windows games are pretty fun, I'd say.

I like playing Minesweeper and solitaire... I never win though. I don't really play pinball much, but when I did I was pretty good and the last time I played, my score was 1,211,750... Gee that makes me want to play now...

~~~10 MINUTES LATER...~~~

My high score is now 1,421,750 XD

I used to play the dragon pinball on my dad's computer. I think my highscore was somewhere in the 140millions. ^^'

I used to play Solitare a lot but not so much now.

I got up to, like 76 wins straight on Freecell over the semester, but then I lost again. I haven't played it that much since then. I stick to Minesweeper, which I can't beat my scores now, Solitaire, and Hearts.

[blondie91]

Well, I managed to get my high score on pinball up to almost 5 million...yippee...
