The New Internet Games in Windows 7

If you’re running the Windows 7 Beta and hadn’t already noticed, we are introducing 3 new Windows Games for Windows 7.

Internet Backgammon:
internet_backgammon1

Internet Checkers:
internet_checkers1

Internet Spades:
internet_spades1

These games were well liked in Windows XP. Due to the amount of requests we received, we are bringing them back!

The new versions of these games have been completely redesigned and improved over their old-school predecessors. With each game, you can:

  • Play online against human opponents (up to 4 players at the same time with Internet Spades).
  • Select from 3 skill levels to be matched with similarly skilled players from all around the world.
  • If your opponent drops out, a computer opponent takes over to finish the game.
  • Choose from cool different backgrounds and piece/card designs.

And as I mentioned in my post about Games Explorer, you can track statistics for games played as well.

Tired of Minesweeper? Definitely give these games a try and join the thousands of other players online who are playing too. I’m actually quite addicted to Internet Checkers.

    It's not the same without Reversi... :(

    I was very happy to see things actually put back! :-) Only the graphics have been updated right, or the AI too? Does a computer opponent take over to finish the game in Backgammon and Checkers as well? I thought that was only in Spades. Would it be possible to add Internet Hearts and Internet Reversi as well (my favorite)? And the best addition would be multiplayer internet Chess Titans with human players!!.

    And forgot to add: Put back Tinker and Texas Hold'Em as well.

    I love Checkers! it's awesome because of the online capability :)

    There should be a ranking system for these internet games to make things more interesting. Please forward my suggestion Brandon.

    Glad you like them 7flavor! Indeed, these new games ALL have computer-based players take over if an opponent drops out. One of our most highly requested features!

    Rest assured we're listening closely to your new game suggestions, if not for Windows 7, where we're pretty much feature complete, then for our future releases. Game on!
