    Old simple games are the best

    Nothing like solitare or mine sweeper. However does minesweeper cheat? I'm sure I've blown up a few times when marking a mine.

    Minesweeper does not cheat. You also can't get blown up from right-clicking to mark a tile.

          My favourites:

          Colossal Cave Adventure
          StarTrek

          Both the only games on the mainframe we were using in the early 1980s

              Minesweeeper doesn't cheat, but you can cheat at Minesweeper

                My fav all time must have been xcom. So ok, its not too old, but old enough. Failing that it must be Mahjong. Now thats what I call old
