Long before we went crazy over today’s popular Xbox games such as Halo: Spartan Assault, we can’t deny the fact that we had enjoyed playing some of the classic games included in the Windows software. During the time when online gaming is still being developed, we often go to the Games folder found in the Start Menu and get hooked up for hours with games such as Minesweeper and Solitaire. Now, Microsoft is bringing back these oldies but goodies with their three new Xbox titles – Minesweeper, Mahjong, and Solitaire Collection!

Microsoft Minesweeper

Play the logic game you know and love, now with updated graphics and sound. Play with a touch of your finger to mark the locations of all the mines without uncovering any of them! Start with an Easy puzzle and work your way up to Expert.



Microsoft Mahjong

Microsoft Mahjong is the classic matching game updated with beautiful imagery, intuitive controls, and all the features that fans of mahjong have come to expect.

Enjoy gorgeous graphics and relaxing sounds with three different themes to choose from. Complete multiple puzzles at three levels of difficulty—perfect for mahjong beginners and experts alike. With an improved Undo system, players have the option of rewinding to fix mistakes.



Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Solitaire remains the most-played computer game of all time, and for good reason. Simple rules and straightforward gameplay make it easy to pick up for anyone. Just focus on clearing out of the cards from the table, or try to increase your score to rival your friends.

Solitaire has been part of Windows for more than 20 years, and The Microsoft Solitaire Collection makes it the best experience to date with five different card games in one: Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks, and Pyramid!

Xbox Integration

Microsoft’s new Play, Pause, Resume feature lets you pause your game, and resume it on any compatible device — all without missing a beat!
