Old School Fun With W5Card
I was playing an old Windows card game called W5Card. Here’s a screenshot of the game:
In this card game, the player needs a pair of Jacks or better to open at the start of a new game. If the player passes, the dealer may open or pass back. If the open is passed back, the player is allowed to start the betting.
When discarding, both the player and the dealer can get up 5 new cards.
At the end of the hand, the winner is given the entire pot; the pot stays on a tie. Also, if you lose all your money to the dealer you’ll get a closing quote:
Now would be a good time to experience other attractions in Las Vegas.
– MANAGEMENT
Not gonna lie, W5Card is one fun card game. 😛
Have Some Star Control Videos
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to showcase both faction endings from Star Control for MS-DOS since nobody has done that over the years.
I really love the planet Earth in the Alliance ending because it looks beautiful in-game. See you space cowboys!
Some MS-DOS Fun with Star Control
I checked out Star Control this evening. It’s a a sci-fi war game where you play as either space alien faction, each with seven different alien spaceships that have their own maneuvering and firing characteristics. I decided to play Melee mode as both factions and successfully beaten the computer player twice on standard difficulty without losing any spaceships.
Crazy fun strategy game but what I don’t like about this game is that it has planets which can take away your current spaceship’s crew members until it explodes if you stay stuck on them. Other than that, I love this cool game! 🙂
The Solid Granite Car Adventures of Driver
I forgot to put up this Driver video last week. I found a glitch where my car is still made of solid granite just like in Carnage mode. Enjoy!
I Finally Beat Nicktoons Racing
I came back to playing Nicktoons Racing on my ePSXe emulator, and I played through the whole 3rd and final cup of the game as Stimpy. Once again I got 1st place on all four tracks down below:
The last one was a dastardly close victory because SpongeBob was trying to catch up to me but he wasn’t fast enough.
And now here come the 3rd cup final standings…
Not only did I finally win the Krusty Krab Big Bun Award, I also won a year supply of Krabby Patties.
Now let’s reveal who the mystery rider is…
It has been finally beaten with Plankton the Mystery Rider now unlocked. I’m so happy! 😀
Time To Press My Luck *again*
I was bored so I decided to torture myself with some more Press Your Luck, but this time I’m contestant #1 challenging against two new contestants named Jessica and Finn:
That means I get to play last in the final round of this game. Jessica is in second place with $1,850 and one Whammy, and Finn is in third with no money and one Whammy. Therefore; Finn plays first with 8 spins, then Jessica will play second with 5 spins. Here’s what they got so far in the final round:
Luckily for me, I managed to avoid getting a single Whammy and used up all four of my spins to stop at a couple cash values and a few prizes including a trip to the Fiji Islands and an African Safari. Hooray!
Not only did I win again, I’m finally in the Press Your Luck Hall of Fame!
All these prizes total $12,262 combined with $4,450 in cash along with $8,300 that I’ve won previously gives me a grand total of $25,012! That was fun but man, I still wish all this money was real. 🙂
It’s Time To Press Your Luck!
Last night I was playing an old computer game called Press Your Luck, which is based on an old game show starring Peter Tomarken. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:
As you can see, there’s lots of cash and prizes on the board, also some Whammies which will take all your money away. I was playing as Contestant #2 against two computer players in this computer game.
I managed to avoid hitting a single Whammy throughout the whole game and got a dastardly close victory with $8,300 in cash because Olivia picked up $500 + an extra spin, a Mexican cruise valued at $3,976, and a Heritage Tour valued at $2,634 which that wasn’t enough for her to win the game.
Yeah, it’s good to be the champion of this computer game. I just wish all that cash I’ve won was real because that’d be nice. 🙂
I Got High With The Stakes
I was playing a different racing game on my PlayStation emulator the other day, and it’s called Need for Speed: High Stakes. Here’s what the screenshot of the gameplay looks like:
I’ve gone through the 1st first tournament of the game and managed to win three races, then the replay of the whole race will be played with summary and statistics after the race is finished.
After winning all three races I earned my first gold medal with $10,000 in cold, hard cash.
This racing game is alright, but what I don’t like about this game is that I kept getting stuck on a loading screen for too long after finishing a race. Another weird thing I don’t like about this game is that it controls the cursor on its own after the startup introduction. That’s why I’m sticking with Hot Pursuit 2, Underground and other future NFS games.
Torturing Myself With Good Ol’ Flak Attack
I’ve been playing another old Windows game that I remember playing back when I was kid in the Windows XP era, and it’s called Flak Attack:
The objective in this game is to aim and fire at the robot soldiers and stop them from parachuting to the ground while shooting down satellites, jets and helicopters and letting the friendly UN helicopters fly by and drop extra ammo boxes which they can be used as smart bombs to destroy everything in the sky if you shoot them. However, the game is over when 4 robot soldiers gather on one side of my base and then destroy it:
I got up to level 13 with my final score of 444,600 points after killing 853 enemies. I’m very satisfied about it, and what I like about this game is the chain reaction bonus every time I shoot down an enemy ship which will explode and fall into another one after another. But yeah, this old school game is explosively fun. 🙂
Playing A Bit Of Scrabble For Ol’ Windoze
I was checking out the old Windows version of Scrabble running under DOSBox this evening.
I already know what the objective in this game is and everything, and it’s really fun just like all the other versions of Scrabble. 10 stars out of 10!
