Hi
I just had a virus wipe out the games on my pc at work, I've managed to reinstall freecell, solitaire, spider solitaire and mshearts. Now I used to have another game (my favourite when trying to pass the time of day!) but for the life of me can't remeber what it was called. It was another card game and you had to stack the cards in order of colour and and preferably suit. about 5 cards in a row and you had to turn them over and move them to other decks??
Does anyone know the name??? its really bugging me :mad:
Thanks
Strawbell

Are you sure it was a virus that removed them and not the company?One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -
Don't think it was call Reversi??
Ha ha definitely a virus which was in itself hard trying to explain how I managed to get one on my work computer. Thats why I'm reinstalling the games the 1st virus wiped off so I don't go on the net (I work on a very quiet reception, sign of the times ;-|).

Hi,
I think it was reversi. It is a virus that affects quite a lot.
These techie gadgets are very difficult to handle. I love designing server rack and have become habituated with the problems that it create.0 -

Freecell sounds like it may be a possibility. It's certainly one of the default games available with XP.0 -

I think it's Freecell you've described there. It's certainly one of the games that comes with Windows.0
