Do you play online games?

last modified: 9 years ago

I enjoy some of the oldies but goodies at The Zone.MSN...especially
MahJong Age of Alchemy, Collapse 2, Cubis 2, and all time favorite, the original Text Twist. There are also some games I like at NotOverTheHill. I played at Pogo for years but got burned out on some of the players in Chat so gave it up.

Where and what do you enjoy playing?

When my DD's tell me I spend too much time playing games on the computer, I say, "Oh well...it keeps me off the streets and out of the bars." ☺

I love Shockwave and I really love their jigsaws. They have many kinds of games there, some are pay to play, which I don't do either, but find lots to do for free.

No I wouldn't pay to play games on the computer. Even the train game. I enjoy it when it is free, but I tire of things really easily. If I play some games too long I see them behind my eyelids when I am trying to go to sleep at night. I think it works on my mind. My mother told me once that she never learned how to crochet from her mother. The reason was that DGM went to the doctor and the doctor told her she had to quit crocheting because it was working on her mind. This would have been in the days of kerosene lamps, thus not very good light. I think the same thing happened to her as it does to me. I do play yahoo pinochle and euchre. Right now I am doing jigsaw puzzles on shockwave, but I can't do it for very long or I see the pieces when I want to go to sleep. I also do the shanghai dynasty that someone mentioned on here and I like that. Also spider solitaire and majong titans. So I admit I love games but I would never pay for them.

Crossword puzzles. It's rare when I can't finish one but I'm not good enough to solve in pen... at least not confidently. I print out several almost every day to do during any slow time at school. I try to encourage students to join me (HS aged) but they're really not interested. They have to THINK and have more than a 3-4 letter word vocabulary, so don't have the patience.

Lily, I would play with you too! Maybe you can find a source of games in your community. A venue in my area has Game Night once a month, attended by people of all ages. Some of the games look rather intense and seem to require a lot of thought (Pandemic is one), but I've played lighter games there with a friend. If you're close to my age you could probably find games at a local senior center. You could also poll your friends to see if there's any interest. Who knows--some may be silently yearning for a fun game. Fran, I was thinking about bridge recently. I haven't played since the 1960's, but I'd be willing to read up on it and see if I could join a group. However, I remember my husband was not thrilled with my bridge playing. He was a serious duplicate bridge player, and I like to chat while I play. Chances are the local groups would feel the same way my husband did about my playing style. LOL Foggy, I looked up Telestrations, and it sounds like great fun. But I wonder if the two artists in my group would spoil some of the fun. They are very good. Playing Cranium on my team recently, one of them had to draw a saddle with her eyes closed. It was perfect. Socks, thanks for the tip about Hoot Owl Hoot and Peaceable games!

I worked for several years at a small game company that specialized in online games, even then when the games were free for me, and access to them was free, I had not much interest in playing online with other random people. I have played team-based LAN games with friends, and a free online version of Dominion (a deck-building game that my family was into) but other than that nothing.

I play several at the Washington Post site. Daily Crossword, Lost Island, Letter Garden and sometimes Backgammon against the computer, not other players. Oh and Fishdom...a lot....

I actually play Backgammon and Text Twist on Roku. Text Twist was just introduced a few weeks ago. If you get the 6 or 7 letter word, it allows you to keep going without having to endure a commercial break. I'm so sick of the Directv and White Castle commercials!

I play MongJong on my ipad and card games. I also do jig saw puzzles.

Check out PlayOK 100% free multiplayer games. They have Pinochle and other popular games for multiplayers.

I think Pogo has it, too, but you have to be a paid club member to participate. I'm all for the freebie websites. :-)

I usually play Steam games, when the rest of the family doesn't want to play. Talisman, FTL: Faster than Light, puzzles, Age of Wonders III, etc. I play AI, not against other players, even though many games have that option. I also play Catan (beta).

No, I have never played online games. Probably my internet would be too slow if I even took a notion to try. Really does not interest me, but glad others do enjoy it.

I play solitaire against the clock. I allow myself a total of five minutes to play five games. I have to make decisions and moves very quickly. I do that early in the day to get the brain going.

I play Scrabble and Words With Friends on my computer (both via Facebook), and once a day I play One-Clue Crossword on my tablet. With Scrabble, I play against the same friend I play with every week at the library; with Words With Friends I play with a couple of long-time online friends plus two people I didn't know who requested games over a year ago. One of them is in Australia. I stopped accepting random requests last year when a guy got too attached. I was glad the games are relatively anonymous.

I have played a lot of card games. They were much better on my Mac than on my Chromebook -- downloaded new ones. Still play once in a while, but not nearly as much as I used to.

I do a daily cryptic crossword with my morning coffee. The constructors are English, so I have had to learn some of the “tricks” of English cryptics (like when the clue mentions the Queen, they mean the letters ER, for Elizabeth Regina, will appear in the answer). and am learning terms about cricket!

Only online game I played was 'Bookworm' -- I loved it, but no longer available as far as I can see. I really miss it. My young grandchildren liked to watch me play, anticipating the bookworm gobbling up the words...

For a long time I played spider solitare with 8 decks of cards. I usually won in under 9 minutes so I got bored with it and quit. I like word text sometimes.

Someone here got me hooked on the New York Times Spelling Bee. However, for some reason, the site is down today. Anyone else having trouble with it today?

Marilyn, I access the Bee through the Nyt app and it’s been fine. Hard, but fine.
