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

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)

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

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

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

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.

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

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