I've installed a few new arcade games:

Tower Blaster (http://www.mainsquare.org/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&do=play&gameid=66)
Xmas Billiards (http://www.mainsquare.org/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&do=play&gameid=67)
Have fun!

Xmas Billiards is.... disturbing.....

But I've always loved Tower Master! I'm gunning for your top score, Marc!

Cribbage is hard.

Edit: Tower Blaster is not quite as hard. :)

It looks as though Otto is now going to be the target of your interest as he more than doubled my score! :)

Hmmm... I'll have to look at that.

What's "w/e"?

As the 16-year old girls at the mall would say, "Whatevs".

Damn, Fleegle's Tower Blaster score is practically unbeatable. He had to have gotten lots of bonus points for consecutive numbered blocks and high numbered 'top of tower' blocks.

Yea, I had a good game. One of my levels was made up completly of 2 runs with an 11 at the top.

It's beatable, though. It's nowhere the best score available.

Woo! Who's the Cribbage Master now, sucker!

The trick is to not just beat the other guy, but to totally annihilate him. If he loses by more than 30, you get the bonus 100 points. Good luck doing that though. Took me ages.

For a computer player, he must be stacking the deck. My cribs were almost always garbage, yet I'd give him a couple random cards, and between his two crib cards and the up card, he'd end up getting 14 points out of his crib!

I can see myself getting lots of 0's in this game.

I've noticed that too... he'll get runs after runs, and doubles and triples that lead into runs.

It's gotta be something wrong with the math because he's almost ALWAYS got a hand that's worth 10 or more points. I'm not going to even mention how friggin often he gets "lucky" with his blinds...

While I do think he cheats by knowing the up card, I don't see him cheating on the crib. I can nearly always send him a couple card that will give him a crib of 4 or 2 points. Often I can give him a zero point crib. It just takes a little strategy, and playing it about 50 times. :)

But he definitely knows the up card before making his selection. There's no other way he can get the runs of luck he always gets in his hands there. To be fair, the computer is better at computing than I am, and so can maximize the 15 point scores really easily. But that doesn't explain the continuously incredible hands.
