...my addiction...

Hi, my name is Kasey, and I'm addicted to Spider Solitaire.

If you don't know what I'm talking about go to your start menu, click on programs, then games, and I feel confident you have it on your computer. I started playing a few years ago in a boring class that I didn't have internet connection in, so I entertained myself playing Spider. Now if I'm not terribly interested in a TV show or just want to unwind, I play Spider.

For those of you familiar with the game, you know that there are 3 levels. You can play with 1 suit, 2 suits or 4 suits. I started with 1 suit, of course. I remember thinking it would impossible to play and win with 4 suits. Well, I am proud to tell you that some time ago, I won playing with all 4 suits! I know, you all respect me more (or maybe less) because I have accomplished this goal.

I think I like this game because it is challenging. Its not very fun if you know you can win a game every time, which I definitely don't! But I do still feel a great feeling of accomplishment when I win! I must confess though, I have a few "cheats" that I allow myself to use. The first one really isn't a cheat because the game is set up for this, but I use the "show next move" button. The other cheat I have no qualms about using is, the "undo" option. I figure, if it wasn't legal they wouldn't allow it. I am fully confident that I could NEVER win if I didn't allow myself to use the "undo" button. And, yes, I use it a lot, without guilt!

Are there any fellow addicts out there? Have you ever won a game using all 4 suits without using the "undo" button? Do you have another computer game you are addicted to and might recommend?
