Microsoft Solitaire and Mahjong

[EDDS]

Just a heads up that these are now available for Windows RT.

Also there is now a 4OD app available which no website seemed to have reported on for some weird reason.

Channel 4 On Demand, its a tv catch up service.

That's because it's British and most Windows RT sites are American.

It doesn't quite work like that anymore, u.s. run sites don't only post u.s. news.


Microsoft-news.com just ran an article about it shortly after I posted.

because the author is actually in the UK and it means a lot to him.

Solitaire game were better than I expected using touch. Wonder how many more apps we'll see before Christmas for people to discover Christmas morning?

Was anyone else actually able to win a game of Klondike? I played about 12 games of it the other day, and EVERY SINGLE GAME ended up with no moves left -__-

looks like they have some optimization to do as the animations are a little janky but other than that glad to see it ported over!

How come no mahjong games are real? How cone they are always match?



These apps run slow in x64 too.

My bad, run fine, start slow, seems way too long, like 10 - 15 seconds.

it has a lot of resources to load.
