Caesars Palace But With A Twist Of Nickelodeon

by Alxala

I decided to come back to some more of the Windows version of Caesars Palace, but I edited the playing cards:

So now all the playing cards now have portraits of Nickelodeon cartoon characters including Tak as the Joker card. 😛

Old School Fun With W5Card

by Alxala

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. 😛

Torturing Myself With Good Ol’ Flak Attack

by Alxala

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. 🙂

Casino BlackJack Of All Trades

by Alxala

I decided to check out Casino BlackJack for Windows 3.11 running on DOSBox. I’ve never played that old-school Blackjack game before until now, and here’s what the actual gameplay looks like:

I’d say this is a really fun game, and what I like about it is there’s options involving check boxes for splitting aces, doubling down on any count, splitting any two cards and using bonus payments. You can also change the minimum and maximum bet limits while you’re there. Minimum bet limits are ranged from 1 dollar to 1,000 dollars, and maximum bet limits are ranged from 2,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars. Sweet!

Now I’m off to continue exploring something new (old) in the meantime. Until then, I will see you all next month!

Time For Me To Get JigSawed

by Alxala

I was playing an old-school Windows game that I remember playing back in the Windows XP era when I was a kid. It’s called JigSawed, a jigsaw puzzle game where you need a picture file and the objective is to grab all the pieces and drag them to their home spots and solve the jigsaw puzzle. Here’s what the actual gameplay looks like:

As you can see here, this is a picture of Wall-E and Eve but it’s scrambled into puzzle pieces in shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, etc. After you completed it, a message will pop up and will let you know that you have solved the puzzle in an amount of time taken.

That’s my fastest time record to solve the puzzle.

Now here’s what the picture of Wall-E and Eve would like if all the pieces are in their home spots:

I also made a bunch of other picture files that are 16-bit color bitmap files because JigSawed doesn’t support the ones with 256-bit color. Another thing I don’t like about this game is when you pick up a hidden piece buried in other pieces in their home spots and I keep deciding to pick one of the pieces from their home spots instead of the ones that are hidden. Jesus Dog Gone Christ, I always hated that to happen EVERY SINGLE TIME! Either way, I really enjoyed playing this fun puzzle game.

Bullseye!

by Alxala

I was checking out an old Windows game called Shooting Gallery under DOSBox not that long ago. Here’s a screenshot of what the game looks like:

The objective in this game is simple. All you have to do is shoot four times on all four randomly moving targets which are the radioactive barrel, happy face, traffic light and a bullseye before shooting the button that reads ‘NO!!’

Hooray! I have beaten Shooting Gallery without missing a single shot. Perfect victory for me! 😀

Let’s Talk About Some Acey Deucy

by Alxala

I was playing an old Windows game a couple years ago called Acey Deucy (a.k.a. Red Dog or In Between). It’s a casino game in which the player bets that the third card flipped will be between the first two in value. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:

To play this game, the player first places a bet and the dealer flips two cards. The player is then given the option to raise their bet and the third card is flipped. The player wins if the third card is in between the first two, but if the third card is not in between then the player loses.

I’d say this is an OK casino game, but I think I’ll stick with Caesars Palace.

Current Gaming Mood: TOYBOX

by Alxala

I’ve been checking out an old Windows puzzle game called TOYBOX, where the objective is to drop the falling toys (two at a time) onto the matching toyboxes in order to advance to the next level. Here’s what the gameplay looks like:

This is actually the shareware version of this game which only contains 6 levels, in which I finally mastered all of those levels in the game. Hooray! 😀

And now I’m off to heading off to find something new (old). Goodnight!
