....too much time playing Hoyle cards. lol

Saw this one at Slashdot and played the online DOS version which brought back a heck of a lot of memories. Took me over 25 minutes, but I won the round of Crazy 8s. lol

I use to play a game called, The Ancient Art of War, it's a vintage macintosh computer game developed by Evryware and published by Broderbund in 1984. In retrospect, it is generally recognized as one of the first real-time strategy or real-time tactics games. I played this game all the time back in the day and have it on my machine today. I use a DOS emulator, (DOSBox) to play it on windows 7. :yes

I remember playing the Hero's Quest series, some of those quest games were actually more fun than the high graphic games of today.
