![]() ![]() That’ll teach ’em for rigging the game I used to love.Would you like to learn how to play Pyramid Solitaire? There are more than 500 known variants of solitaire-a card game played around the world-and one of the most popular versions is Pyramid Solitaire. As a matter of fact, I’ll share the cheater’s way with any who ask. While I hear a voice from somewhere saying, ‘Cheaters never prosper,? I still feel no remorse. I can now beat him and his stupid computer game! Ha! And, since I didn’t like the way he came off in those interviews and because I had to win, I found a way to cheat. I spent time searching the worldwide web finding out what I could about Wes and his computer Solitaire game. He’s also a vegetarian and from reading interviews with him, he considers himself quite the comedian. Wes? game is on nearly every stinking PC in the world and he doesn’t get any royalties. ![]() Seems he let his game go to Bill Gates? Microsoft company for a song. And, besides being a computer geek, he is none too smart (just like me). Let me say this, Wes sounds like a real peach of a guy. I clicked on the program and found it was written by a dude named Wes Cherry and it has been a part of the Microsoft world since about 1991. And, the more I played the more desperate I became. Was it God sending me a message? I imagined the Big Guy talking to me, ‘Don, you dolt - you can never win when you gamble.?Īnd, yet, I turned away from God and turned on the computer and selected my Vegas style selection - draw three. There had to be a way - all the losing was hurting my psyche. I let the boys turn into prunes as they sat in the lukewarm, then cold bath water. And, while you ‘could? throw out your computer after a bad hand, it would be a rather expensive endeavor. In real life, you can throw away the deck of cards if you don’t like what is happening. In real life a bunch of, say, sixes are not stacked one atop the other, under a five. In real life the odds of turning up four of anything in the opening seven cards is rare. There is no way cards turn up in real life as they do on this program. After a month of losing and observing card patterns I have come to a dirty little conclusion. Nobody can win this computer Solitaire game. ![]() As a matter of fact, anytime soon I expect some computer-mob goon to knock on my door and threaten the integrity of my skeletal structure if I don’t pay up. Whenever the boys went in for a bath, I ‘watched? them from the office as I tried to beat the ‘casino? in Solitaire. you can even play ‘Vegas? style games - either one or three draw.Īnd, it is with the Vegas style games that I kinda? got hooked. No more turning cards over, just click and go. While I have used computers since 1985 and Personal Computers with Windows based programming since about 1990 and have known there’s a Solitaire game there you can play on screen, I pretty much ignored it.Ībout a month ago I opened up the program at home while the boys were bathing in another room six feet away. Then as girls entered the picture Solitaire vanished from my radar. I did this even through my college years. When I had time to kill and was by myself, I turned to Solitaire. I think we learned Solitaire (and the card game of War) before we entered Kindergarten. Solitaire was a great game to play to wind us down after we roamed the streets. It was a perfect game for rainy days when we couldn’t go outside to destroy the yard. Once learned, Solitaire was a game we kids could play by ourselves without having to bother our parents. Ma and Pa Rush, like many parents I am sure, showed us Rushlings how to play the game of Solitaire to help ensure their own sanity. Place card, move stack, red, black, red, black. I remember there to be a beauty in its simplicity. I recently rediscovered the ‘joys? of the card game Solitaire. ![]()
