Has anyone tried to get a perfect game ? I've been trying now for a couple months to win without taking any points but can't seem to get beyone a couple hands. I've done it several times on XP, but have yet to accomplish it on Vista. The best I've done is win with only 1 point, but never with 0.

Jump to Postis it me, or is the new MS Solitare on vista a) much harder? (if thats possible) and b) harder to play - all the vista-ness makes it kinda hard to read the cards

i used to get ~5500 about 60% of the time on xp and windows mobile 2003
on vista / wm6 i get like ~5200 about 30% of the timewierd
Jump to Postall the vista-ness makes it kinda hard to read the cards
Yes, because large cards and type DOES make it harder to read! The instigators!
I've never been much of a hearts player though.
Jump to Postno they just seem kinda blurry (cleartypes fault?) whereas the xp ones are sharp

I like that chess game too -- I have it set on the easiest level so that I can easily beat it :)

I've managed to shoot the moon a few times, and kept my score below 5 on several occasions, but never 0 for the whole game. Then again, I'm more of a texas holdem player.

Yet another reason to shy from Vista, I see ;)

yea, I gave up on the Vista solitaire pretty quick, wasnt horribly difficult to read the cards, just got frustrated with never even getting close to winning

I win solitaire 38% of the time with a high score of 6196. Don't know if that good or bad though. You might have difficulty seeing the cards if you have your display settings pretty small.

Its a lot more fun (and more difficult) when played with real people. But that's true of any game.

I've done it once in nearly 800 games. I'm currently on a 15 game win streak. In four of those, I had 89 points or more and had to shoot the moon on the last hand for the win.

Oh how nice of M$ :) Glad to know it will take the rest of my life to beat that game with 0 points.

that's a photoshop, you can tell by the pixels.
Ancient Dragon 5,243 Achieved Level 70 Team Colleague Featured Poster
No its not photoship. After printscreen I pasted it into MS-Paint and saved it.

No ... I'm pretty sure it's photoshopped. See, you can tell by the pixels. And I should know, because i've seen a lot of 'shops in my time.
(PS: weeaboo.)

That cartoon is funny, but I don't get its relevance :confused:

Totally agree. All those pixels make it obvious.
I can't tell by looking at the pixels, just looks like the typical jpeg-compressed image to me, and the shadows may make it look odd when zoomed.
Edit: 1000th post, yay :)
