- appstorelottery 3y agoAt first I thought you were joking; however a quick search reveals that indeed God has forsaken us. https://microsoftcasualgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/11785826776084-How-do-I-Purchase-a-Premium-Solitaire-Subscription https://microsoftcasualgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1... The OS is now "free" and Solitaire is now paid product? Is this the pure definition of irony? OP: You've done a wonderful job with this!

- wiktor-k 3y agoI had to use Windows machine to test an app recently and the amount of ads and other annoyances there is just mindblowing. I wanted to show Solitaire to my kids but it's so ad-ridden it's painful to play. I'm strongly considering just reformatting the drive and putting Linux in there.

- AndrewDavis 3y agoI carry those old games from old windows installs. They won't run "natively" on modern windows, however someone ported a subset of WINE, winevdm, to windows called otvdm. I was playing Chips Challenge yesterday! https://github.com/otya128/winevdm https://github.com/otya128/winevdm
