Gold Miner

Game Description: Use your claw and reel to mine gold and other treasures out of the earth. Collect enough treasure quick enough to reach the next level.

How to Play Gold Miner:

• Your claw will swing back and forth.
• Press the Down arrow key to lower the claw.
• Once your claw has grabbed something it will reel it up.
• Heavy objects like rocks and large pieces of gold will be harder to reel up.
• Grab bags contain random amounts of money, a strength power-up, or a stick of dynamite.
• Between levels you can buy items from the store, to help you win.
• Your money and dynamite carry over from one level to the next.
• Collect the target amount of money by the end of the level... or it's game over.

Gold Miner Playing Tips:

• After you lower your claw, and if it looks like it is not going to grab anything, if you press the Left arrow key right after you drop the claw, it will retract more quickly. This will save you some valuable time, rather than waiting for the claw to retract at its normal speed.
• If you have dynamite available and you have grabbed a large rock (large rocks are not worth very much and they take longer to reel up), you can use your Up arrow key to toss dynamite at it and blow up the rock. This will save time, which you can use to pick up more valuable objects.
• If you accidently blow up everything with your dynamite on a level, you still may be able to win your level by pressing the "Exit Level" button. If you have already collected the target amount of money, before you blew everything up, you will be able to go to the next level, and your game will go on.
• You may also press the "Exit Level" button if you want to skip a level. You can do this at the beginning of a level, or anytime during level play. You could do this if you are 100% certain that you have already accumulated enough money to meet the level target amount. (If you miscalculate, and you have not yet reached the level target amount, it will be instant game over!) However, it would be foolish to skip a level, or part of a level, and not earn as much money as you can from it. The only reason that I mention this, is simply to let you know that it is possible.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Each time you play Gold Miner, the game will be different. Play Gold Miner for a rip-roaring good time!

The Ace of Spades 2

Game Description: The Ace of Spades 2 is a fun variation of tripeaks solitaire.

How to Play The Ace of Spades 2:

• Once the game fully loads, click the 'continue' button directly under the game title.
• On the next screen you see, click either 'Play Random Boards' or 'Choose a Starting Board.'
• If you have a favorite starting board you may choose to play that board in round one by selecting it from the available board selection, or just play random boards. After the first round all subsequent boards will be random.
• Each round begins with 30 cards face down (the pack), 1 card face up immediately to the right of the pack (the discard pile), and numerous cards with some face up and some face down (the board).
• A card may be moved from the board unto the discard pile when it is one card higher or lower. For example if the discard pile shows a 7, any 8 or any 6 may be moved from the board unto the pile.
• Build sequences until the board is clear. For instance: 3, 2, A, K, Q, J, 10, J, Q, K, A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3... The order can be ascending, descending or both.
• The bigger the sequence, the higher you’ll score. Ex: 100, 200, 300, 400
• Score extra points, or earn extra cards for the pack, by playing the Ace of Spades card.
• Receive 1000 bonus points for each card that remains in the pack when you successfully complete a round.
• Use your left mouse button to move a card from the board to the discard pile by clicking on it. (The card will automatically move as long as it is eligible to do so).
• When no play is available from the board click on the pack. Upon your click, that card will turn face up on the discard pile.
• The goal of The Ace of Spades 2 is to move the entire board unto the discard pile before the pack runs out of cards. If you do, you go on to the next round of play and the game continues.
• The game ends when you fail to remove all of the cards from the board.
• If you want to play a new game, and the game does not restart, simply click the refresh button on your browser.

The Ace of Spades 2 Playing Tips:

• Face down cards on the board will be revealed when all cards on top of them are played. If you have a choice of cards to play, always play the card that will result in other face down cards being revealed. For instance, if you have two tens available to play and one of the tens has a hidden face down card underneath it and the other ten has no card underneath it, select the one that has the card underneath it. The more cards you can get turned over the better.
• Play the Ace of Spades when you have the chance to do so. Not only will this give you lots of points, sometimes you also receive bonus cards that go to the pack... giving you more chances to make moves and win the round.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: This is a very pleasant game to play. There is no timer, which makes it very relaxing. And there is a large variety of boards, which keeps things interesting.

Fishdom

Game Description: Play this fun Match 3 game and build the virtual aquarium of your dreams!

How to Play Fishdom:

• Use your left mouse button.
• Click on 2 adjacent pieces (or use a dragging motion) to attempt to swap their positions.
• The pieces will only swap if there is a resulting match of 3 or more in-a-row.
• If you get stuck and cannot find a match Fishdom will usually highlight an eligible move for you.
• Create matches over golden tiles to clear them.
• Finish a level by clearing all the golden tiles before the time runs out. (Remember, you do not need to clear all the tiles to complete a level... only the golden tiles must be cleared).
• The timer (the long vertical tube on the right filled with green liquid) shows you how much time you have left to complete the level. It drains from top to bottom. When all the liquid drains out the time is up!
• When you successfully complete a level you earn 'money' based on your performance.
• After you complete a level, click the 'Shop' button to buy items for your aquarium.
• There are 3 types of items you may buy: Fish, Beauty (plants and ornaments), and Comfort (things to make your fish feel better like a filter, lights and so forth).
• After you complete your shopping, click the 'Play' button to go to the next level and earn more 'money' for your aquarium.
• You will not complete this game at one sitting. Your game, hopefully, will be automatically saved when you leave Richard's Game Reviews. (There is no Save button, but the game is apparently programmed to save itself automatically. So far it has been my experience that the game will always save itself, but I can make no guarantees about this).
• To resume your game, come back to Richard's Game Reviews, and your Fishdom game should be just as you left it. (You will need to be on the same computer to resume your game). If you do not see your saved game, try clicking the 'Menu' button (in upper right corner). Then click the 'Resume' button.
• When you complete certain levels you may see a screen with two options. One option lets you Download the game. If you do not want to download the game, just click the 'Continue' button and continue playing the game for free here on Richard's Game Reviews.
• Pay attention to the 3 meters in the upper left corner (Fish, Beauty, and Comfort.) Fill these up, and you earn a cup.
• Now you are ready to continue on your own! It's up to you to create your dream aquarium. Good luck!

Fishdom Game Options:

• The sound may be turned on or off by going to the 'Menu' button located in the upper right corner.

Fishdom Playing Tips: When I first started playing Fishdom and I saw the explosives for the first time I thought "oh-oh." I thought they were perhaps time bombs and if they exploded I would lose the game. On the contrary, these are bonuses to help you in difficult situations. You earn them when you make matches of 5 or more. You want them to explode, especially near the golden tiles. These explosive bonuses can only help you win the game by clearing tiles faster. They will never hurt you. A few of them are:

• A Firecracker bonus destroys all within a radius of 1 tile.
• A Depth Bomb bonus destroys all within a radius of 2 tiles.
• A Dynamite Charge destroys all within 3 tiles and can be earned by a match of 6 pieces.
• A Warhead destroys everything within a radius of 4 tiles and can be earned by a match of 7 or more pieces.

Here are some additional playing tips.

• Sometimes you may encounter a locked piece. To break the lock, bring the other matching pieces to the locked one.
• Click the green eye icon (upper left corner) anytime you want to pause the game and enjoy the views of the underwater world.
• Click the Move button (lower right corner) to rearrange the plants and ornaments to your liking.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Pro: This is a fun game to relax with. (This game is actually much harder to explain than it is to play. So don't let my lengthy explanation scare you away). New elements are added slowly in this game so you will have time to learn them. The timer is very slow which makes the game much less challenging than, say, a Jewel Quest, but it is also much more relaxing. A feature I like is the pause button. This comes in very handy if you want to rest your eyes or just take a break. The graphics are stunning, and certainly are the very best feature of Fishdom.

Con: The game can get somewhat repetitive.

Fly Plane

Game Description: Fly your plane while collecting as many red balloons as you can.

How to Play Fly Plane:

• Hold your left mouse button to fly up.
• Release your left mouse button to fly down.
• If you fly too far up, or too far down, you crash and the game is over.
• You have 5 lives in this game.
• Each time you fail to collect a red balloon you lose a life.
• The game is over when you lose all of your 5 lives, or when you crash.

Fly Plane Playing Tips:

• Be ready to hold down your left mouse button almost immediately after you click the 'NEW GAME' button or you will crash and the game will be over.
• It takes a little bit of practice to understand the rhythm of this game. It is just a matter of holding and releasing your mouse button... but not too much.

Richard's Rating: 1 out of 5.

Adventure Games Page 1

Here are 30 adventure games for you to play. There are certainly many outstanding games on this particular page from which to choose. Perhaps one of the most underrated games on this page is Ring Pass Not II. Do give Ring Pass Not II a try, if you have not done so already. In my opinion, it is simply brilliant! Also I cannot say enough good things about Around the World in 80 Days. It is extradorinary. If you like driving games, try Action Driving Game. Or maybe you like battleship games? There are three good ones on this page: Battleships General Quarters, Intergalactic Battleships, and Navy Battles. Some other games that certainly deserve a mention are: Castle Wars 2, Engage and Destroy, and one of my all-time personal favorites: Fishy.

Table Tennis

Game Description: Play table tennis against a computer opponent named Zoran Primorak.

How to Play Table Tennis:

• Use your mouse to control your paddle.
• The matches take place in 21 points.
• Should a player reach 21 points but does not have at least a 2 point lead, the match continues until one player gains a 2 point advantage to win.

Table Tennis Game Options:

• If you want to turn the sound effects on or off, click the microphone icon located in the upper right corner of the game screen.
• Should you wish to restart the game, click the Restart button located in the upper left corner of the game screen.

Table Tennis Playing Tips:

• Zoran serves the first point. The first serve comes very quickly after you hit the Play button... so be ready!
• You serve the rest of the points. (There is really no advantage to this because you have no control over the serve. You simply click the Serve button.)
• You may notice with Table Tennis that when you have a long rally the ball will really speed up. So my advice is to try to win the points early, if possible.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Although I personally prefer Table Tennis Championship, Table Tennis is almost as good and is certainly an excellent game in its own right. Table Tennis is also faster and much more challenging than Table Tennis Championship (at least when Table Tennis Championship is played on levels 1 or 2). Superb graphics and outstanding sound effects enhance this game. Table Tennis is a definite winner!

Gem Mania

Game Description: Move the train through the maze. Collect all of the Gems to advance to the next level.

How to Play Gem Mania:

• Use the 4 arrow keys to advance the train one space at a time.
• The train cannot move backwards.
• Each time you collect a gem your train grows longer making it more difficult to maneuver through the maze.
• You will lose when there is no possible move remaining for your train except to crash into itself.
• You get 4 lives for the entire game. Each time you fail a level you lose a life. Fail 4 times and the game is over.

Gem Mania Game Options:

• You may turn off the background music by clicking the 'Mute' button located under the orange scoreboard on the right side of the game screen. It has been my experience once you turn off the music you cannot turn it back on. The music will only return when you began a new game.

Gem Mania Playing Tips:

• The best strategy is to meander. Take the longest possible path to get to your destination. This will give you more 'wiggle room.' For example, instead of going in a striaght line move your train left, right, left, right.
• Sometimes when the train gets very long the game can be quite slow to react. (Just like a real train pulling a large load.) So, be aware and make sure the train has actually moved before you make your next move.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Pro: This is a fascinating game. Despite the technical glitches I mention below, I still give this game a very high rating of 4 out of 5.

Con: There are a few technical problems with this game. (I was very thorough, as usual, and I uploaded this game from several different sources just too make sure the problems were not just with my first source. And, as I suspected they were not). However, if you follow my advice these difficulties can, for the most part, be easily overcome. Here are the problems you may encounter and how to deal with them.

• To restart the game always refresh your page and allow the entire game to reload. If you do not hit the refresh button on your browser, the game will begin with some serious glitches. So, after clicking either the 'Main Menu' button (lower right) or the 'Play Again' button (on the Game Over screen) always click refresh and the game will load perfectly. This game loads very quickly so this should not be a problem.
• A second problem that may occur is much more frustrating, and that is this. Occasionally, you may get stuck and be unable to move your train. (The only thing you can do at that point, as far as I can tell, is to end the game and begin again). The game is supposed to allow you to crash your train into itself and you lose one of your 4 lives, then continue playing. I played this game for about an hour to test it out. This happened to me twice, once when I was on level 7. Needless to say, this is very frustrating. But, I beleive it to be a rather rare occurrence.

Battleships General Quarters

Game Description: Play the classic game of battleships against the computer. You and the computer both have five ships in your fleet: An Aircraftcarrier, a Battleship, a Frigate, a Submarine, and a Minesweeper. You get the first move. After that, you and the computer take alternate turns; except when either player gets a hit, that player earns an immediate extra turn. Whoever sinks their opponent's entire fleet first, wins!

How to Play Battleships General Quarters:

• Click the 'Play' button.
• After the game loads, type your name in the box to replace the word 'Anonymous', should you wish to do so. Any name will do.
• Now, click the 'Enter' button with your mouse.
• You have 5 ships to deploy.
• Click on a ship to select it. Then move your mouse over the board and the ship will move with your mouse. (You don't need to actually drag each ship with your mouse. Simply move your mouse, and the ship will follow).
• Use your mouse to position your ship on the playing board.
• Use your LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to turn your ship 90 degrees.
• When you are satisfied with the postion of a ship, click it one more time to position it on the playing board.
• There are two playing boards. Your 5 ships are on the top left board. The computer's 5 ships are hidden somewhere on the lower right board labeled 'Player'.
• You get the first move. Click on any square on the lower board labeled 'Player' where you think the computer may be hiding one of its ships.
• From now on, you and the computer take alternate turns; except when you get a hit you get another turn, as does the computer.
• Whoever sinks their opponent's entire fleet first wins!

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pro: Nice graphics, and sound effects, make this game fun.

Con: None.

The Farmer Game

Game Description: You are a farmer. You begin the game with $400. Manage your virtual farm in one year to earn as much money as you can.

How to Play The Farmer Game:

Use your left mouse button to click objects on the game screen. Here are some of the activities you may do each day:

• Go to the Brudeen shop to buy fruit and vegetables seeds, fertilizer, or bug killer.
• Go to the Chicken farm to buy chickens, or chicken food.
• Plant seeds in any of your 4 fields.
• Apply fertilizer to your crops.
• Water your crops.
• Spray bug killer on your crops when they are infected by bugs.
• Use the Cut tool to remove any unwanted plants.
• Pick your fruit and vegetables when they are ripe and place them in the wooden box.
• Feed your chickens by placing the chicken food into the bin compartments.
• Collect the chicken eggs and place them in the wooden box.
• Click the 'End Day' button to advance the game to the next day.

The Farmer Game Options:

• You may turn off the background music by clicking the microphone icon. (You will find the microphone icon in the upper right corner on the same screen that displays the 'End Day' button).

The Farmer Game Playing Tips: Every day you have to manage your farm. When will you plant a new field? What crops will you plant? When will you apply fertilizer? When will you water? Are you spending too much money or not spending enough? The decisions you make, or don't make, each day will determine your success. Here are some tips which should help you succeed and give you a better experience with this game:

• Do as many actions as you can each day before clicking the 'End Day' button. For example, if you just cleared a field by picking your fruit or vegetables, do not end the day if you have enough money to buy more seeds. Instead, go back to the Brudeen shop and buy more seeds. Then replant your field with your newly purchased seeds. Use fertilizer if you have some available, and of course water your seeds. (Water is free in this game.) Then... only after you have completed every farm chore you can possibly complete... click the 'End Day' button.
• When a plant is infected with bugs you will easily see the bugs. If you have bug killer available, don't forget to spray your plant, or else it may die.
• Applying fertilizer will help your plants grow faster.
• If it rains, it probably is not a good idea to water your plants that day.
• Sometimes, you may want to use the Cut tool to remove a healthy plant should you determine it is to your advantage. For example, I had a carrot field where two of the carrots grew slower than the rest of the crop. I had already picked the rest of the carrots so I decided, since I had enough money to replant the field it was probably to my advantage to cut and remove these last two carrot plants and replant the entire field that day rather than just leaving the field with only the two remaining plants. These are the types of decisions you will have to make when you play The Farmer Game.
• Don't forget to feed your chickens every day. If you do, they will lay an egg for you each day which earns you money.
• This is the most important game playing tip I can give you. When you are finished playing, and want to quit, don't forget to click the Save Game button to save your changes. Understand, this is not a game you will complete in one instance. Since the object of the game is to see how much money you can earn on your virtual farm in one year, I assume the game has 365 'days.' (When I tested the game to write my review, I only went to about Day 20.) This does not mean you actually play the game for a real year. Remember, you may advance the game to the next day anytime you click the 'End Day' button. So, depending on the time you have and how many farm chores you have, you might, for example, play 10 to 20 game days at a single sitting. Just remember to click the 'Save Game' button to save your changes when you want to quit. Then, when you want to resume playing... come back to Richard's Game Reviews, click 'Load Game' and then click 'Continue'. (Although I am not sure, because I have not personally tested this out, I believe you will likely have to use the same computer you used the last time you played the game in order to continue your saved game.)

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pro: If you are into role playing games, or would like to try one, The Farmer Game is a fun choice.

Con: It does take, I would say, at least 30 minutes until you can get comfortable with this game and figure out where everything is and how everything works. So, just be a little patient with it.

4 Balls

Game Description: 4 Balls is a clone of the popular game of Connect 4. The object of the game is to try to get four of your red balls in a row (either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) before the computer can do the same with its own blue balls. Good luck!

How to Play 4 Balls:

• Click the green arrow near the lower right corner of the game screen to begin play.
• The computer has the blue balls.
• You have the red balls.
• The computer always makes the first move by dropping one of its blue balls into one of seven columns.
• You get the second move, and you will drop one of your red balls.
• After that, you and the computer will take turns dropping balls until someone wins, or the game ends in a draw.
• To drop one of your red balls into any of the seven columns just click on the column with your mouse. The ball will drop all the way to the bottom and settle in the first available empty space.
• Again, the object of the game is to try to place four of your red balls in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) before the computer can do the same with its blue balls.

Richard's Rating: 2 out of 5.

Comments: The computer proves to be a rather tough opponent in 4 Balls, though it certainly is beatable. This is a nice game to play when you want to play a quick short game.

• Press lightly on the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys because these are very sensitive in this game. If you press too hard, you will crash.
• Should you become disoriented from a crash or roll-over you may head in the wrong direction. Watch the message board at the bottom of the game alerting you to the fact that you are driving in the wrong direction.
• Try to avoid the crates thrown by Dr. Cheetah. These will cause damage to your car and may cause you to lose the game.
• DO run into the boxes of Kellogs Frosties before they disappear... these will give your car a power surge that can mean the difference between winning or losing the game.
• To win the game you must catch and pass Dr. Cheetah.
• I believe the only way you can lose this game is if your car sustains too much damage from Dr. Cheetah's crates. At least, that is what I think.
• If your car gets stuck in a rut, stuck against a sign post, stuck on the side of a hill, or otherwise becomes immovable; just press the 'Reset' button and start chasing again.
• I am not sure of the purpose for the clock. (There does not appear to be a time limit. At least, none that I have found so far). So, I guess you can use the clock to try to better your own time of catching and passing Dr. Cheetah. Or, challenge a friend to beat your personal best time.
• The 'Help' button does not seem to work. At least, it didn't for me.

Pro: This is a super-fun game. The 3-D graphics are excellent! Personally, I never use the SPACE BAR. If you can't drive fast in a computer game... what's the point? Besides, the crashes are fun!

Con: I would have liked to have seen a few more sound effects, but the ones that are there are good. It's too bad the 'Help' button doesn't work. Maybe it would have explained some of the game details. But, still all-in-all Cheetah Chase a very fun game.

Note: In order to play Cheetah Chase you must have Adobe Shockwave Player installed on your computer.

Puzzle Maniax

Game Description: Complete a 30 piece jigsaw puzzle before time runs out.

How to Play Puzzle Maniax:

• From the main menu, click the Options button to select your difficulty level. Easy gives you 260 seconds. Medium gives you 170 seconds. Hard gives you 120 seconds.
• Click the Play button.
• There are 10 different puzzles to try.
• To select your puzzle simply click on any of the 10 pictures, or use the double arrow keys at the right side of the game screen to see a larger preview.
• After you make your puzzle selection, click the Start button.
• Drag each puzzle piece onto the playing field to where you believe it should go. Then release.
• Sometimes before you drag a piece you may need to rotate the piece so it will be in the proper position. Click on a puzzle piece, one or more times, to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise with each click. Then drag.
• When a piece is placed properly in regards to both position and rotation it will 'stick' and you will receive points. Otherwise, the piece will 'snap back' to it's original position outside of the playing field.
• Try to complete your puzzle before the time runs out!

Puzzle Maniax Game Options:A menu bar will appear on the right side of the game screen, after you click the Start button. (To open this menu float your mouse button over the word 'Menu'. To close this menu simply move your mouse back toward the center of the puzzle). This menu gives you access to three game options. They are:

• Play or Stop the game music.
• Show or Hide the puzzle grid.
• Show or Hide the background image.

Puzzle Maniax Playing Tips:

• At least until you get used to Puzzle Maniax I suggest you use the Easy difficulity level, and show both the grid and the background image.
• Some of the puzzles are easier than others. So, try different ones.
• Repeat the same puzzle more than once. It will get easier.

Pro: If you like a challenge with your jigsaw puzzles, you will really like Puzzle Maniax.

Con: Who knew you could have stress putting together a jigsaw puzzle? I grew up at a time before there were computers. Yes... some of us really did! (Does that officially make me old?) Jigsaw puzzles were something that came in a box and the pieces were made out of cardboard. (I suspect they probably still sell these in toy stores. But, I haven't been to a toy store lately to check). The best thing about those jigsaw puzzles were... they were so relaxing! Of course, there was one big disadvantage about those old-fashioned jigsaws. Many times, just when you were about to complete a puzzle with hundreds... or even thousands of pieces... you realized much to your exasperation that one or more pieces were missing. Sometimes, they would eventually turn up in another puzzle box. Usually, of course, days after you disassembled the original puzzle! And, sometimes the missing pieces mysteriously disappeared forever.

Anyway, enough reminiscing. Seriously, I personally prefer jigsaw puzzles with no time limits. So, I may assemble them at a leisurely pace. But, that is just my personal peference. If you agree, you may want to try Addiction Puzzle which is very similar to Puzzle Maniax but without any time limit.
