    For those of you on a PC, what is your favorite game that came with the package? I'm talking Freecell, Solitaire, Hearts, Minesweeper, etc. Those are the base 4 that I have. I like hearts, myself -- I give the other players derogatory names! Also, either a) you can't cheat in it or b) I haven't figured out the cheats.

    I should have made this a poll, but I hate polls -- I'd rather people just comment in a post.

    [edit] My apoloigies for not placing this in the right forum -- I don't really consider these games on par with CRPGs.

    I love pinball, but it's not very challenging. Minesweeper is a good one.

    My top 2 are Pinball and Solitaire. Just last week I learned how to cheat on pinball, but sadly you can't save your score when you cheat. :( :rolling:

    I usually play Pinball, but sometimes also Hearts and Spider Solitaire. Some years ago I used to play minesweeper one hour in a day. :sleep:

    Solitaire. It´s still a good game to play when listening radio and when being too tired to play anything more complicated.

    Of those four games, I play Minesweeper the most.

    The Microsoft games first introduced me to Hearts, but ever since I've gotten better, I used other programs to play it.

    I also learned how to play Freecell, but I hardly play it. As for Solitaire, too much luck dependence, so almost never play it.

    Pinball, Solitare, and Freecell.

    Solitare and Pinball are evenly matched, with Freecell being a runner-up.

    Too bad Msft hasn't loaded in a Mahjonng board. That would seriouly rock, as well. All those coderific cubicle-dwelling .NET geeks have to love Mahjonng, as well. The IBM'ers do.

    I've played minesweeper and hearts for a while because I had nothing else to play on my PC.
