Tastes differ, everybody chooses what he likes most, but there are things that will be appreciated by all categories of people, these are two games: bowling and solitaire.
We eagerly visit different bowling-clubs with friends, but when we want to have rest at home, we usually spend time sitting in the cosy armchair and playing unsophisticated, but not stupid games. And what do you think about bowling and solitaire combination? Impossible? You have another guess coming! Now you have a perfect opportunity to download the game Strike Solitaire and enjoy the entertaining mix of bowling and solitaire. The main point of the game is to remove cards of the same rank regardless of their suit. During the game you'll get bonus cards, you should remove them as quickly as possible, because they give useful bonuses. In the game Strike Solitaire you are to remove special cards, one removed card of such kind will bring you 1 point. If you remove all of them, you'll get a strike. The more cards you remove, the more money you get. When a card on the field has no pair, pick another card from the deck. So the fewer cards are left, the more points and money you'll get. There are 2 modes of difficulty in Strike Solitaire, so, you can try the both of them. But remember, if you choose easy mode, you can replay all the units and frames, in hard mode that don't works. Good luck!

Amusive Chess (PC Game)

Do you like playing chess? Well, here's some good news for you: Amusive Chess gives you a unique chance to play your favorite game on your computer, any time you want! Besides, you don't need to look for a counterpart, just download the game and you are ready to play.
Amusive Chess is a logical game with 16 special chess pieces on an eight-by-eight square board. Vertical rows are called files and are labeled with letters from A to H while horizontal ones are called ranks and are labeled with numbers from 1 to 8. Half of the squares is black and the other half is white, with two people playing. At the beginning of the game each person has a set of pieces each of which moves differently. Pieces are used to attack and capture the other piece to defeat your opponent. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king by placing it under threat of capture ("check") which cannot be avoided. So as you can see, the rules of Amusive Chess are just the same as the ones in the usual chess you have at home. But it is even more interesting with the additional features you don't get with the usual game: first of all, you have the possibility to cancel and reconsider your move. Secondly, you can pause the game if there's something urgent you need to do and then resume playing when you think it's more convenient time for you. Thirdly, calm music and sound effects will help you concentrate better. And last but not least, there is a history of moves so you will never forget that victorious complicated combination of yours!


System Requirements

Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP or better
Pentium 200mhz or better
64 MB RAM
15 MB hard drive space
800x600 display resolution mode or higher
High or true color highly recommended
DirectX 5.0 or better



Amusive Checkers (PC Game)

Amusive Checkers is an intellectual game which you can now play on your computer whenever you want - you don't even need a counterpart! It is a unique chance to master your skills of checkers and then amaze your friends with your knack in a real life tournament. You can choose one of the three levels: Easy, Medium and Expert, that's why Amusive Checkers is an ideal game for all ages!
Moreover, there are three different versions of Amusive Checkers to fit any taste: Russian, English and Give Away. In any case, your game is always accompanied by light music and sound effects. If you are a beginner, you may wonder: "How do I play this game?" The answer is very simple: there is an eight-by-eight squared board and you have 12 pieces on it. All you do is move your pieces diagonally or jump over the other player's pieces. Wrack your brains and try to do multiple jumps, thus capturing several pieces at a time. This will give you much more points and satisfaction. To make things even more entertaining and captivating, there is one more rule: when one of your pieces reaches the opposite row, it is "crowned" and now it can move multiple steps at a time and capture both forward and backward. So go ahead and reach for the row in front of you! The aim of the Russian and English Checkers is to capture all the pieces of your counterpart. In Give Away, on the other hand, the aim is to capture all your pieces. This version is very different so you will never get tired of playing Amusive Checkers!
