Welcome to the world of “ Wonderful Old Games “. We will be highlighting some of the classic games that people have enjoyed for generations. These games include, but are not limited to, board games, card games, and vintage computer games. Welcome one and all. Let’s begin the journey.
Board games are amongst the oldest of games, with the first known board game, called Senet, created in Egypt around 3500 B.C. Eventually cultures in Europe adopted various board games for entertainment. Today there are a large variety of board games available for family fun. The latest rendition of these games is “online play”, where you play the same game, but on the computer, often with someone via the internet.
Strategy board games are those games that involve a considerable amount of strategy to win, not just mere luck. Checkers and chess, for example, require a winning strategy, not luck, to win. Other games, such as Sorry, Chutes and Ladders, or Yahtzee, require a good “roll of the dice”, and almost no strategy, in order to win. Most games, like Monopoly (1935 First Edition Reproduction) or
Risk 1959, require a bit of both. Having said that, if you never get a “break” with the dice rolls, any good strategy you might have will go “out the window”.
Classic board games are those games that have stood the test of time. They were popular with our grandparents, and are still popular today. Two such examples are Risk and Battleship, which have evolved in various ways (such as online play) over the years, but still revolve around the same strategy and game play. Other games in this category are: Life, Clue Reinvention, Monopoly, Connect Four, Sorry! Game
, and Stratego.
While the exact origin of the “deck of cards” is not known, it is very probably that playing with cards was invented by the Chinese when they began shuffling paper money into various combinations…the 7th to 10th century A.D. Moving to the Western World, the history of English playing cards probably dates to the 15th century. The first documentary evidence that we have to their existence is in an Act of Parliament, in which domestic card makers were complaining about the importation of foreign cards.
While the actual origin of playing cards has been lost to history, it is highly likely that they were invented by the Chinese shortly after the invention of paper. Modern cards probably arrived in Europe in the late 1300′s, and quickly spread throughout the continent. Originally created by hand, one at a time, they were therefore very expensive. Popular card playing games include: hearts, bridge, poker, and rummy.
We will be discussing all aspects of ” Wonderful Old Games” in this web site…

Monopoly is a classic board game, in fact the most commercially-successful board game in the history of the United States, with over 485 million players worldwide. It is published by Parker Brothers (a subsidiary of Hasbro).
It is named after the economic concept of a “monopoly”, which is the domination of a market by a single entity. Since Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935, during the height of the Great Depression, over 750 million people have played it. Games Magazine has inducted it into it’s “Hall of Fame”.
In 1941 the British Secret Service had John Waddington Ltd., the licensed manufacturer of the game outside of the United States, created a special edition of the game. It would be sent to World War II prisoners of war held by the Nazis. It was special in that hidden inside were compasses, real money, maps, and other useful objects for escaping. They made their way to the prisoners via fake charity groups created by the secret service.
The original version of the game, first sold by Charles Darrow, then by Parker Brothers, consisted of 40 spaces containing twenty-eight properties, three Chance spaces, three Community Chest spaces, an Income Tax space, a Luxury Tax space, and four GO squares in the corners. In the United States version of the game, the properties are named after locations near Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hasbro conducts a Worldwide Monopoly tournament from time-to-time. The first Monopoly World Championship took place in New York, at a place called Grossinger’s Resort, in November, 1973. The last person crowned world champion was Antonio Zafra of Spain. He won the tournament in 2004. The next World Championship will be held on October 21 & 22, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Forty-two players will be competing for not only the championship, but a cash prize of $20, 580 in US currency.
Hasbro also sells a Deluxe Edition of the game. It is very similar to the classic edition, but has wooden houses and hotels, and gold-toned tokens. It also has one token in addition to those in the classic edition…a railroad locomotive. The Deluxe Edition also includes a card carousel (which holds the title deed cards), and money that is printed with two colors of ink.
In 2000, the New York toy store FAO Schwartz sold a custom version of the game called “One-Of-A-Kind Monopoly” for $100,000. It came with a locking attache case made with Napolino leather and lined in suede. It included:
1) 18-carat gold tokens, houses, and hotels.
2) Rosewood playing board.
3) Street names written in gold leaf.
4) Emeralds around the Chance Icon.
5) Sapphires around the Community Chest.
6) Rubies in the brake lights of the car on the “Free Parking Space”.
7) Real negotiable United States currency.

Chess is another wonderful old game that has been around a long while. Chess is a board game that is played between two players. Originating from an Indian version of a similar game, the current form of chess emerged in Southern Europe during the 15th century. It is one of the world’s most popular games, played by millions of people.
The game is played on a flat platform called a chessboard. It is a checkered-board with an 8×8 grid. Each player controls sixteen pieces, one player controlling the white version, and the other player controlling the black version. These sixteen pieces include: one king, one queen, two knights, two rooks, two bishops, and eight pawns. The overall objective of the game is to checkmate the opposing player’s king. This means that his king is under immediate attack, and there is no way that he can get away.
Chess is commonly believed to have originated in India during the Gupta Empire via a game called caturanga. Around 600 AD, in Sassanid Persia, the game became shatranj, and the rules were developed further. The game reached Western Europe and Russia, and by 1000 AD it had spread throughout Europe. Around 1475 several changes were made to the game, and it became essentially the game that we now know and love.
In the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance, chess was part of “noble culture”. Referred to as the “King’s Game”, it was used to teach war strategy. Many of the elaborate chess sets used by the English aristocracy have been lost to history, but others, such as the Lewis chessmen, have survived the years.
Competitive chess started in the 16th century, and today is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee. In 1886, the first World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title. The current World Champion is Viswanathan Anand.
When digital computers started to materialize in the 1950s, chess programs started to appear as well. Chess, being a very logical game, is well suited to the “switch off and switch on” world of the computer. In September, 1970, the Association for Computing Machinery held the first major chess tournament for computers. It was called the North American Computer Chess Championship, and CHESS 3.0, a chess program from Northwestern University, won the championship.
Today, chess is taught to children in schools, and used in armies to train the minds of soldiers, cadets, and officers. In fact, many schools hold chess clubs and scholastic tournaments.

A card game is any game that uses playing cards. Countless card games exist, including: bridge, poker, rummy, blackjack, baccarat, etc.
The main component of a card game is a deck of playing cards. Identical in size and shape, each card has two sides: the face and the back. The backs of the cards are exactly the same, preventing any player from distinguishing the face of the card unless they can see it.
The form and composition of what we know as the “European-style” playing card deck has evolved over 600 years, and a variety of cultural specific decks are the result. The deck that is the most common in English-speaking countries is the “Anglo-American” poker deck. It contains 52 unique cards separated by four suits which are Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs. The cards run from 2 (deuce) to 10, with Jack, Queen, King, and Ace as well. Commercial poker decks also include 2 to 4 Jokers.
Distribution of the cards during a card game is known as “dealing”. A player who is chosen to deal the cards is called the “dealer”, and he will normally “shuffle” the deck before distributing them to the other players. There are various types of shuffling (such as the riffle, the Hindu shuffle, or the pile shuffle), but the main objective remains the same…to scramble the deck before distribution of the cards to the players of the game.
There are various types of card games that can be played with a deck of cards, separated into various categories. Accumulating games, like “Egyptian War”, revolves around the idea of acquiring all the cards in the deck. Comparing games, such as poker, blackjack, or baccarat, involves comparing the hands between the various players…with the player with the best hand winning the game. Solitaire games are designed to be played by one player, and are a good pastime when you are alone.

Scrabble is a “word game” in which the players of the game form words from individual lettered tiles, and place them on a 15×15 grid board game. In order for the words to be valid, they must appear in a standard dictionary. The game is sold in 121 countries, and available in 29 different languages. You can find a set in 1 out of 3 American homes.
The year was 1938. Architect Alfred Mosher Butts of Newtown, Connecticut, created a game called “Criss-Crosswords”, the fore-runner of Scrabble. In 1948 James Brunot (one of the few original owners of the game) bought the rights to manufacture the game, giving Butts a royalty on every game he sold. The next year Brunot and his family started to make the sets in a converted former schoolhouse in Dodgington. Although they made 2,400 sets that year, they lost money.
Legend states that things changed in 1952 when Jack Strauss, president of Macy’s Department Store, played the game while on vacation. He loved the game, and when he went back to work he was surprised that his store did not carry the product. He promptly placed a large order for the game, and within a year it was such a hit that “everyone had to have one”.
With the incredible influx of orders, Bruno was unable to meet the demand. He sold the manufacturing rights to Selchow and Righter in 1952. They went on to purchase the trademark to the game in 1972. In 1986 Selchow and Righter sold the game to Coleco, who went bankrupt soon afterwards. The rights to Scrabble were then purchased by Hasbro.
In 1984 Scrabble went from the board to the TV. In that year it became a daytime game show on the NBC network. Hosted by Chuck Woolery, it ran from July 1984 to March 1990, with a second run from January to June, 1993.

If you’re a game player searching for a crystal-clear game sound, then the place you should start is with the Ear Force X12 Headset, which comes with a low price tag. The audio quality supplied by the massive 50mm speakers is outstanding with deep lows and crisp highs. You’ve got volume controls and adjustable bass for either game or chat, because of the in-line amplifier. The X12 is an excellent PC gaming headset, because it features separate connections for microphone and line signals.
The X12 is a followup to the excellent X11 headset and this more recent model adds bass control and 50 mm speakers. The premium quality sound and extra features gives it an edge over others. The sound effects are considerably more evident with the X12 in comparison with your typical speakers. You will be able to hear soft sound effects with great clarity like guns being loaded in the distance or an opponent walking nearby. You’ll be able to take action sooner since you will be able to pick up the subtle noises very clearly. You can play comfortably for long periods with these headphones on because they’re deep-cushioned and huge.
The X12 gives you a gaming experience unlike what you’ve had before, particularly if you are serious about your gaming sound. You can do plenty of prolonged gaming sessions with the comfortable ear cushions, and make audio changes quickly with the in-line amplifier. It’s also possible to make quick adjustments to game audio and chat volumes due to the independent controls. There aren’t any adapters or batteries needed, because the power supplied to your amplified Xbox 360 headset is supplied by a USB connection. Lots of favorable reviews should make you think that you are making the right choice if you select these headphones.
A few of the positives that are listed include, the super-sensitive mic picks up even mumbles and whispers, which is a big factor in why lots of people are purchasing this headset. The audio is fantastic and the bass could be controlled, with the Bass Boost dial. They aren’t noise canceling, however they probably cut the noise in half, at the very least. Even though you wear glasses they are quite comfortable, especially for people who use them for a very long time. A few of the problems include, the mic being really sensitive, that background noise is picked up. Some individuals do not like the feature where you hear your own voice when you are speaking. It does inform you whether your microphone is muted or not. The mute toggle is placed where it can be changed by accident, when you don’t want it to be.
You are going to notice a huge difference if you had used other brands of headsets before. The X12 could be more than what you asked for or perhaps it is just what you expected. If you play lots of video games, you will definitely enjoy the quality and comfort of the X12.

Left handed gamers have more trouble gaming than right handed players. They should be purchasing left handed computer mouse equipment. Assigning shortcut keys to the left handed keys on the keyboard will also help. Unfortunately these are usually just excuses poor gamers make when they need to blame something for not having as much fun as they had hoped. This is because the equipment used is simply a portion of your experience. Extreme gaming goes far beyond the purchase of left handed mice. Following are a few hints for those who want to have a good time playing online games.
Give up on that left handed mouse. Take a much needed brain break from gaming once in a while. Taking good care of yourself is difficult to do if you are constantly playing video games. Being sleep deprived and not eating well can make you play poorly. Of course, all of the games available throughout the world are indeed addicting. It is imperative to give yourself and those around you a break from time to time. Doesn’t it make sense to go back to your game feeling refresshed and ready for a new challenge then letting yourself burnout?
Do you have friends who enjoy playing online games? Why not play with a few of them? It can be scary trying to go into a MMORPG universe all alone. Even if you don’t have any friends who are into gaming, you can meet other people through your chosen game. That is the fun of the massive online games like World of Warcraft. So many people play these games that meeting new friends is easy. If you are a good player and get along well with others you could have a whole new group of friends in no time. Online gaming is always more fun when done with your friends.
Work on improving your game. Don’t get into a rut, but keep leveling up. Be ambitious about obtaining treasure, rewards or gold that you get for various achievements. When you are goal oriented, you have something to strive for when you play. You will find that you enjoy playing more when you can focus on goals. This way you can feel like you are accomplishing something when you play. If you aren’t accomplishing anything, it won’t be much fun after a while. It’s much more interesting if you’re battling ferocious creatures or creating powerful spells.
Playing online games can be very pleasurable. It’s a great social environment. It’s a way to escape the pressures of everyday life. The way to maximize your enjoyment of online gaming is to be the best player you can be. This takes a variety of skills, such as socializing well, learning all the ins and outs of the game, and just getting in enough practice. You shouldn’t, however, worry about it. Above all, if you’re going to play games online, enjoy yourself!

We have been ever so blessed that Nintendo granted us a second Super Mario Galaxy after the amazing beauty of the first. But what are the chances that we will see a third installment in the series?
With the future being unknown, it all comes down to history. Meaning that we need to look at what Nintendo has done in the past to determine what they will do in the future.
It’s a fact that with the first two Super Mario Galaxy games, Nintendo made their announcement a year in advance. So our hopes of a launch along side the Wii U is most likely unrealistic. But with that being said, an announcement along side the Wii you is very possible.
Did you know that Super Mario Galaxy was announced with the release of the Wii and then released a year later? History does tend to repeat itself, especially when that history was successful.
When the Wii U launches, people will be dying to buy games for it. And the bulk of the sales are going to go the bestsellers. Remember Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess? Wow!
Mario is very popular because his games have been on ever console since the beginning of Nintendo. With the technology similar to the Wii, it would make sense to continue with the series but to give it the benefits coming with the new console.
What would be a reason for Nintendo to not release Super Mario Galaxy 3? Maybe they are all out of good ideas for space games or a more plausible option is that they have a new idea in the works.
These are possible, but not probable. Nintendo released Super Mario 3D land and boosted 3DS sales, and I suspect that they will do the same with Super Mario Galaxy 3 and the Wii U.
It’s fair to hope that Super Mario Galaxy 3 will be announced soon. But I’m sure you’re anxious about what will be added in the fresh game, so you should read this article on Super Mario Galaxy 3 Ideas. Enjoy!

The whole world first caught a glance of the Samsung Series 7 laptop only just several weeks ago, and it’s now available for sale. As a gaming laptop computer that seeks to give a gaming experience on par with desktop machines, the Series 7 is in strong competition with rival machines from makers such as Alienware and Asus.
Between a few eye-popping specs and a slick design, the Samsung Series 7 just might be the brand new king of laptop gaming. For many gaming enthusiasts, specs are the first thing which come to mind .
To say that Samsung’s completely new laptop computer isn’t lacking would be the understatement of the century. The laptop, obtainable in one settings, ships with a 2.3GHz Core i7 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU with 2GB of DDR5 video memory.
Moreover, purchasers have a remarkably 16GB of DDR3 RAM. Storage area isn’t an issue, either. The Samsung Series 7 features 8GB of flash storage for reducing boot times while also packing a 1.5TB hard drive. That’s twice the amount of storage that’s offered by the Alienware M17x and the Asus G75, two of the biggest competitors to the Samsung Series 7.
With regards to real-world functionality, computer systems in the same cost just don’t hold up to the overall performance of Samsung’s latest creation.Specs are wonderful, and the Series 7 definitely stands up towards other gaming laptop computers that might even cost you a some hundred dollars more. Still, what really makes the Samsung Series 7 stand above the others is the additional features that Samsung stuffed into it. For instance, users can select from 4 different personalized modes making use of a dial above the keyboard.
Users can choose between Gaming Mode, which illuminates gaming buttons and hinders the Windows key, General Mode, Quiet Mode and Power Saver Mode. By providing these options, Samsung makes the Series 7 work better as an every day laptop computer while also packing the raw power necessary for high-end game playing.
Other things also create the Samsung Series 7 best. Not like the extremely advanced designs used by Alienware or the traditional look of Asus machines, the Series 7 walks the line in between conservative and edgy .
Its different highlights make it a beautiful unit but not a thing that stands apart like a sore thumb. At $1,900, it’s also costed well for laptops in its category. Over-all, the Samsung Series 7 is the best gaming laptop on the market today.
