Zuma Ball

Sunday, May 29, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Shoot balls and create groups of 3 or more of the same color to remove them from the game. Remove all balls before they reach the exit.

How to Play Zuma Ball:

Click the 'Play' button.
Move your mouse back and forth (left and right) along the yellow line.
Click to shoot.
Create groups of balls of 3 or more of the same color to remove them from the game.
Avoid the bumpers because the balls will bounce around, and end up almost always where you did not intend.
Try to hit the bonus spots to earn extra points.
Press your spacebar to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot.
If you are able to remove all of the balls before any reach the exit, you will advance to the next level of play.
If any ball reaches the exit... it is game over!
Note: Do not click the 'Menu' button, located near the upper left corner. If you do, you will lose all of your game progress and you will have to begin a new game back at level 1.

Zuma Ball Game Options:

The music may be turned on or off by clicking the musical note icon located near the upper left corner.
The shooting sound effect may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon located near the upper right corner.
Click the 'Pause' button, near the upper left corner, to pause the game. Click the 'Continue' button to resume playing.

Zuma Ball Playing Tips:

Look for combos. For instance, if you have a sequence of 2 purple balls, 2 red balls, and 2 more purple balls, you could shoot a red ball into the 2 red balls and remove seven balls with one shot. The red ball you shoot would form a group of 3 red balls removing those 3 balls. Then the 2 purple balls would combine with the other 2 purple balls forming another group of 4, thus removing those 4 balls.
If you see a single ball with no other same color ball next to it, shoot a ball of the same color into it. Now, you have a group of two balls of the same color. When that color comes up again, if you have a clear shot, you can then remove both balls.
Use the spacebar whenever you want to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot. This is a big advantage. Use it!

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Zuma Ball seems somewhat easier than the other zuma games I have on my site. The balls seem to move slower. Plus you have the added advantage of being able to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot. Given these two factors, this makes Zuma Ball an ideal choice if you want a less challenging game, especially through the lower levels of play.

Other Games: If you want to play other similar games, but would like perhaps more of a challenge, try some of my other Zuma Games.

Bike Master

Saturday, May 28, 2011 2 comments

Game Description: Go off-roading at your own risk in this biking adventure game. It can get out of control real quick!

How to Play Bike Master:

Click the 'New Game' button.
Press the UP arrow key to move forward.
Press the DOWN arrow key to move backwards.
Press the LEFT arrow key to balance left.
Press the RIGHT arrow key to balance right.
Press the ENTER key to change direction.
Your goal is to make it through each level without crashing.
There is no time limit.
Each time you crash you have to repeat the level.
If you make it to the 'Save Point' sign and should you crash, you do not have to go back to the beginning of the level. Instead, you get to begin at the last 'Save Point' sign you reached. (Most levels have several 'Save Point' signs to help you along).
Watch your level progress at the top of the screen.
You may repeat a level until you succeed.
Each time you successfully complete a level, you get to go to the next level.
Click the 'Play' button to advance to the next level of play.

Bike Master Game Options:

The music may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located on the main game screen. (You can only access this control before you begin the game. If you go back to the Main menu after you begin the game, you will lose all of your game progress. Of course, if you get weary of the music you can always lower the volume on your computer).

Bike Master Playing Tips:

I noticed a little quirk with Bike Master. Whenever you use the DOWN arrow to move backwards the rider will try to automatically go backwards at a 'Save Point' or whenever you slow down or come to a stop. (In fact, he will try to ride backwards all the way back to the beginning of the level if you let him!) This only occurs if you use the DOWN arrow on a level. This behavior will not carry over to the next level. Once you are aware of this tiny quirk, you can easily deal with it. Also, the opposite problem can occasionally occur at the beginning of a 'Save Point'. That is, the rider will sometimes take off quickly moving forward on his own. In that instance, you will just have to slow him down as best as you can.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pro: Bike Master has excellent graphics and sounds. The 'Save Point' signs are a very nice feature, especially for somene like me who is totally inept at bike games. It is also refreshing, at least from my perspective, not to have a clock to contend with.

Con: It certainly would have been nice if Bike Master had a save game feature. Unfortunately, it does not.

Other Games: If you liked Bike Master, you may also like to play Trial Bike Pro or some of my other Bike Games.

Strategy Games Page 4

Saturday, May 28, 2011 No comments

On this page you will find 30 strategy games to play. Let's see what we have. Bloons 2 has 72 levels of inventive play. Each level presents a brand new challenge and will really make you think, and use your imagination, to figure out a solution. Bloons 2 will keep anyone entertained for hours on end! There are quite a few very nice Match 3 games here on this page too, including the classic Match 3 game of Bejeweled. Other Match 3 games include two turn based Match 3 games where you and your opponent will take turns making moves. In Crystal Battle you will battle the computer, and in the wildly animated BioGems you will battle 9 different villians through 10 different battles. (You must battle Master Squid, the final villian, two times!) Are you still craving adventure, even after all of that? Then try playing the exciting games of Puzzle Prince, a game where you will battle zombies, monsters and other bad guys; or perhaps try Ether of Magic Cards which is a turn based strategy card game where you will take on the role of a wizard and battle numerous magical enemies. Or maybe you are in the mood for Zuma? Then try playing Zuma Ball or Zuma Mania. There is one final game I feel I must mention, and that is Block Blaster. Block Blaster is, at the time I am writing this, now the most popular game here on Richard's Game Reviews. It is terrific!

Bejeweled

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Play the classic Match 3 game of Bejeweled.

How to Play Bejeweled:

Make points by swapping adjacent gems to create a hortizontal or vertical line of 3 or more like-colored gems in a row. For instance, you can make a line of 3 red gems in a row, 3 blue gems, and so forth.
To swap two gems you may either use a dragging motion, or click each gem individually.
The two gems you swap must be right next to each other either hortizontally, or vertically (but not diagonally).
If the two gems you attempt to swap result in a match of 3 or more like-colored gems, those gems will be destroyed and the gems above will fall down and take their respective places.
If the two gems you attempt to swap do not result in a match of 3 or more, you have attempted to make an invalid move. You will hear a sound effect, and you must try a different swap.
Combos and cascades award extra points.
The gem meter is at the bottom.
Fill the gem meter all the way to the right for a bonus, (and to get to the next level!)
Bejeweled has two different games you can play: 'Simple' and 'Timed'. (In my opinion the 'Timed' game is, by far, the better game).

How to Play 'Simple' Bejeweled:

In 'Simple' Bejeweled, the gem meter starts at the left as each level begins.
Each time you make a match the meter moves toward the right.
If you are able to move the meter all the way to the right, you earn a bonus, and you go on to the next level.
The game ends when you run out of moves.

How to Play 'Timed' Bejeweled:

In 'Timed' Bejeweled, the gem meter starts at approximately the midway point as each level begins.
The gem meter can move both right and left.
Each time you make a match the meter moves toward the right.
When you do not make a match for a few seconds the meter starts moving toward the left.
As you progress up the levels, the meter will start moving faster and faster toward the left. So, you will need to start making matches at a quicker pace.
Your goal is to fill the meter all the way to the right by making enough matches quick enough. If you do, you earn a bonus, and you go on to the next level.
When the meter gets close to the left you will hear a groaning sound telling you that you are in danger.
If the meter gets all the way to the left... it's game over!
If you run out of moves in 'Timed' Bejeweled, you will not be penalized. Bejeweled will tell you there are no more moves available and will automatically reset the board. Then, just keep playing.

Bejeweled Game Options:

Press your spacebar to pause the game. (Or, you may also press the 'Upgrade' button which does nothing other than pause the game). Click 'Play' to resume.
The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located at the left, just above the 'Upgrade' button.

Bejeweled Playing Tips:

Try to make combos ( a single move that results in two matches at the exact point of the swap), or cascades (a move that results in additional matches by getting other matching gems to fall down into place). Not only do combos and cascades give you big points, they also help you fill up the gem meter very quickly. (This is probably not that important with 'Simple' Bejeweled, but it certainly is with 'Timed' Bejeweled where time is the crucial factor). If you are a beginning Match 3 player it may be kind of difficult to recognize moves that will result in combos or cascades. But, as you gain experience, you will begin to easily recognize these types of moves.
Watch for hints. When you get stuck for a while Bejeweled will powerup the 'Hint' button (the large gold circle at the left) and show you a move with a sparkling effect. (This happens automatically, so there is never a reason to click on the 'Hint' button itself. In fact, clicking on the 'Hint' button is simply a waste of time. Like I said, this happens automatically).

Richard's Rating: 5 out of 5.

Pro: There is a reason why Bejeweled is a classic Match 3 game: the sights, the sounds, the excitement. Need I say more?

Con: None.

Wheel to Spin

Monday, May 23, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Wheel to Spin is based on the popular game show Wheel of Fortune.

How to Play Wheel to Spin:

The object of Wheel to Spin is to solve each puzzle and win as much money as you can.
There are three puzzle rounds, plus one bonus round.
You get 10 turns to spin the wheel for each round.
Spin the wheel by clicking on it.
Pick a consonant. (Click on one of the white letters).
If the letter is part of the puzzle, you earn the amount on the wheel multiplied by how many times the consonant appears on the board.
There are also 'Bankrupt', 'Lose Turn', and 'Free Spin' wedges.
Landing on 'Bankrupt' will reset your round earnings to zero.
When landing on 'Bankrupt' or 'Lose Turn', you lose your turn. You must spin again unless you are out of turns.
The 'Free Spin' wedge earns you an extra turn and the value of $500 to play a letter.
On each turn, you can guess a consonant, buy a vowel, and attempt to solve the puzzle.
Vowels cost $250 each and are not worth points if they appear on the board. You can buy as many vowels as you want in a turn provided you have enough money that round.
To solve a puzzle, use your keyboard and type in your answer in the box at the bottom. Then, click the 'Solve' button.
For the first three puzzle rounds you must solve the puzzle before you run out of turns.
Correctly solving each regular puzzle will earn you $2,000.
For the bonus round, you do not get to pick your own letters. Instead, you will spin the wheel and if the letter you spin is on the board it will be displayed.
After 10 spins you get 60 seconds to try to solve the bonus puzzle.
Correctly solving the bonus puzzle will earn you $10,000.
This game is solely for entertainment purposes and no money or prizes are awarded.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: I have been searching for a decent Wheel of Fortune type game for quite some time. There are, of course, several around. But, speaking frankly, the ones I have seen up to this point are just plain awful. Not so with Wheel to Spin. This version is actually rather good, and I am pleased to bring it to you. My favorite part of the game is the bonus round where you don't get to choose your letters but instead it is left up to the wheel. This makes the bonus round the most challenging part of the game especially if you are unlucky enough to hit obscure letters like x, q, and z, or hit on letters you have already spun. If you are a fan of the TV show, or even if you are not, I think you will probably enjoy playing Wheel to Spin.

What Do You Know? 2

Monday, May 23, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Answer the trivia questions as quickly as you can to get the highest score possible.

How to Play What Do You Know? 2:

Click the 'Start Elementary Level' button.

Richard's Rating: 2 out of 5.

Pro: If you want to take a short break from your favorite game, What Do You Know? 2 can be a good choice.

Con: When you play What Do You Know? 2 a couple of times, you will begin to encounter quite a few repeat questions.

Yukon Solitaire

Friday, May 20, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Try to build the 4 suits from Ace to King in this skillful, and challenging, solitaire game.

How to Play Yukon Solitaire:

Yukon Solitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards.
There are 4 foundation piles at the top, one for each suit.
There are 7 tableau piles (the lower 7 piles).
Each game begins with all 52 cards dealt to the 7 tableau piles.
31 cards are dealt face up and 21 cards are dealt face down in overlapping style.
Any face up card in the tableau may be moved to the bottom of another pile if that card is one card lower in rank and if it is a different color. For example if the bottom card of a pile shows a black seven, either of the two red sixes may be moved on top of the black seven.
Each time a card is moved from one tableau pile to another, all of the cards that are below it will also be moved. (Note this distinction. When you move a card from one tableau pile to another, all of the cards below that card will be moved as a unit. The cards do not have to be in any type of numerical sequence in order to be moved. They will move simply by the fact that they are below the card you are moving).
To move cards in this game you simply drag them.
When the last face up card of a pile is moved, you must click on the next face down card to turn it over. (Yukon Solitaire, unlike most card games, does not do this for you automatically).
Only Kings may be moved to an empty pile. When you move a King, all of the other cards that are below it will also be moved.
Only the bottom card of each tableau pile may be moved to a foundation pile.
Your goal is to build each foundation pile from Ace to King with cards of the same suit.
Score 500 points for each card that you are able to move to a foundation pile.
A winning score is 26,000 points (52 cards x 500).
If you are ready to throw in the towel and give up, click the 'Give up' button at the bottom and start a new game.

Yukon Solitaire Game Options:

The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located at the lower right corner.

Yukon Solitaire Playing Tips:

I think the tendency for people who are just learning Yukon Solitaire may be to give up too soon. Before giving up, try moving the cards around a little. Just one move can sometimes turn the entire game around!
A top priority is to try to overturn as many face down cards as possible. In fact, if you are able to overturn all 21 face down cards you will certainly win the game. It then just becomes a simple matter of moving the cards around.
Another important factor is getting the four Aces up to the foundation piles so you can begin building the foundations.
Moving the four Kings to empty piles will certainly increase your chances of winning. This is probably more important than most people realize.
As a pile gathers more cards, the cards get squeezed together and become smaller and sometimes difficult to see. Yukon Solitaire has a nifty solution to this. As you hover your mouse over each card it gets bigger and easier to read. So, don't forget to hover when needed.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: As with all card games, Yukon Solitaire is of course part luck and part skill. Although I am not a mathematician, I am reasonably sure that there are some hands that are probably impossible, or nearly impossible, to win. But once you learn to play the game and get comfortable with it, I would venture to guess that you will probably win a majority of your games. That is not to say that Yukon Solitaire is easy to win. It can certainly be challenging, and requires a certain amount of patience and persistence.

Springo Bingo Deluxe

Thursday, May 19, 2011 1 comment

Game Description: Use your Match 3 skills, and quick thinking, to rack up as many points as you can in just three minutes!

How to Play Springo Bingo Deluxe:

Click the 'Play' button.
The next screen you will see, will probably ask "Would like to view a tutorial?" If this is your first time playing Springo Bingo Deluxe you may want to click 'Yes'. (The tutorial is very short and explains some of the basics). Otherwise, click 'No'.
There are 5 different colored balls on the board: B (pink), I (green), N (orange), G (blue), and O (purple). In addition to these 5 colored balls, there are also black balls that contain Bingo numbers.
You score points by swapping adjacent balls to create lines of 3 or more like-colored balls in a row. For instance, you can make a line of 3 pink balls in a row, 3 greeen balls, and so forth.
To swap two balls you may either use a dragging motion, or click each ball individually. The two balls you swap must be right next to each other either hortizontally, or vertically (but not diagonally).
Black balls that contain Bingo numbers cannot be swapped.
The clock is at the upper left corner. You only have 180 seconds (3 minutes) to make as many points as you can.
At the left there are 5 different powerups.
You earn powerups by scoring points. As you score points the powerup bar fills from bottom to top with a dark pink color. Springo Bingo Deluxe will let you know when your powerups are available by sight (the powerups will come to life) and by sound.
Powerups can be used to destroy large groups of balls!
To use a powerup, first click on the powerup you want to use. Then, as your mouse hovers over the board, you will see which balls may be destroyed. Now, just click to destroy the balls of your choice.
There is a Bingo board on the right.
The Bingo board has 15 different numbers with 3 vertical lines of 5 numbers each.
Each number on the Bingo board corresponds to one of the black Bingo balls. (You will not see all 15 black Bingo balls at the beginning of the game. You will only see a few. The rest will drop from the top as you play along).
Drop the black Bingo balls all the way to the bottom and off the screen by clearing the balls under them.
Each time you drive a black Bingo ball off the screen you are awarded big points and the number is marked off on the Bingo card at the right.
Complete a vertical line of 5 numbers on your Bingo card and receive a Line Bonus of 1000 points for each line you complete.
Drive all 15 Bingo numbers off the screen before time is up and you receive a House Bonus of 5000 points.
Complete a House Bonus (at which point the game ends) and receive a Time Bonus of 100 points for each second that remains on the clock.
Speed -- Earn 100 bonus points for clearing groups in quick succession.
Multiplier -- Clear 12 balls in one go to multiply your score for 10 seconds.
Bingo -- Clear groups that contain each letter of the word BINGO to earn 100 points.
5 in a row -- Clear a line of 5 balls to clear a row or column of balls.
The game ends after 3 minutes, (or sooner if you are able to drive all 15 Bingo numbers off the screen and score a House Bonus).

Springo Bingo Deluxe Game Options: All of the game options are located at the top of the Bingo card at the right.

The game music may be turned on or off by clicking the muscial note icon (the icon at the left).
The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon (the icon in the middle).
The game may be paused by clicking the pause icon (the icon at the right). To resume play, click 'Continue.'

Springo Bingo Deluxe Playing Tips:

Your first instinct may be to totally concentrate on driving the Bingo numbers from the board. That, is probably not the best strategy. Remember every match you make on the board earns points, and points earn you powerups. It is easier to drive the Bingo numbers off the board quicker with powerups. I am not suggesting that you do not purposely try to drop the Bingo numbers down. I am simply pointing out that you should also try to make big matches anywhere on the board where you can, and quickly. Not only can you earn bonus points this way, but the all important powerups too.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Springo Bingo Deluxe certainly packs a lot of excitement into only 3 minutes!

Bricks Breaking

Tuesday, May 17, 2011 No comments

Game Description: Destroy all the bricks by clicking them in groups of the same color.

How to Play Bricks Breaking:

There is a grid of bricks of different colors.
When you click on a grid of two same-colored bricks or more, all the bricks that are connected to this brick by the same color will be destroyed.
The bricks on top of the destroyed bricks will collapse, and occupy the positions of those destroyed.
When a column is completely destroyed. the columns of bricks on both sides will merge side by side.
For each game you are given 5 magic wands which are seen at the left.
To remove a single brick, you must use a magic wand. (First click on a magic wand. Then click on a single brick).
The game ends when you can no longer destroy any bricks.

Bricks Breaking Game Options:

The game sounds, which are minimal, may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located near the lower left corner.

Bricks Breaking Playing Tips:

One technique that can be somewhat effective is to destroy all bricks until you only have two colors of bricks remaining. You can do this by purposely concentrating your efforts on removing certain colors. Once you are down to only two colors it is easier to end up with a clear round where you can destroy all bricks without having to use a magic wand. Having only two colors, however, does not guarantee that you will have a clear round. It increases your chances of doing so, but you still have to make the right moves.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Often when I review a game I immediately see the game's potential. Then, there are other games like Bricks Breaking where it takes me a little longer. Frankly, the first time I played Bricks Breaking I didn't think much of it. Only after I played it a couple of times did I finally come to realize what a fine game this truly is. The concept of Bricks Breaking is simple to grasp, yet the game itself is highly strategic. Play it a few times, all the way through, and I think you will agree with me that Bricks Breaking is certainly a game worth playing. It may even become one of your all-time favorites!

Eliminator Solitaire

Monday, May 16, 2011 1 comment

Game Description: Try to move all 52 cards from the four columns to the six foundation spaces before you run out of moves in this tripeaks solitaire-type game.

How to Play Eliminator Solitaire:

Click the 'Start Game' button.
Eliminator Solitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards.
Each game begins with the entire deck dealt face up in four columns of 13 cards each.
There are six foundation spaces at the top.
Cards can only be moved from a column unto a foundation.
Cards cannot be moved from one column to another column.
To play a card you simply click on it.
Only the top card in each column can be moved. (When I say top card, I mean the card that is actually at the bottom but overlaps the other cards in the column).
Any top card in a column can be moved to a blank foundation.
Any top card in a column can be moved to a foundation if it is either one card higher or one lower in rank. For instance, any five can be played to either a four or a six.
Aces can be played on kings, and kings can be played on Aces.
Suits do not matter. Only rank matters.
If you run out of moves, you lose.
You goal is to win by moving all 52 cards to the six foundation spaces.
A winning score is always 440 points. (Each card you play to a foundation earns 5 points, except for the very last card in each column. Those four cards earn you 50 points each. So, the total always comes out to 440 points.)

Eliminator Solitaire Game Options:

The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the sound button located at the lower left corner. (Do yourself a huge favor, and turn that irritating music off! lol.)

Eliminator Solitaire Playing Tips:

As with all tripeaks solitaire games it is the order in which you play your cards that will determine your success. Try to look ahead several moves.
In general, with Eliminator Solitaire you will want to leave as many foundations empty for as long as you can. Since any top column card can be played to an empty foundation, this gives you the greatest flexibility.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Eliminator Solitaire presents a nice challenge, although it certainly can be beat. As with all card games, there is always an element of luck involved as well as skillful play. I think that element of luck is probably what makes card games so popular.

Bubble Town

Wednesday, May 11, 2011 39 comments

Game Description: Save Borb Bay from disaster! Man the cannon to fire Borbs to match three or more in order to remove them from the board. Be careful where you aim because wasted shots clutter the board, and if the Borbs reach the yellow danger zone, the game is over. With two modes of play (Straight-Up and Ball), you’ll find challenge and excitement with every shot.

How to Play Bubble Town:

Select your mode of play by clicking either: 'Straight-Up Play' or 'Ball Play'. (Hint: Personally, I feel that 'Straight-Up Play' is the better of the two games. However, they are both excellent games).
Straight Up Play -- Line up the cannon to shoot the different Borbs to make three (or more) of a kind. Use the sides to make tricky bank shots to score extra points.
Ball Play -- Try to shot three or more matching Borbs using the cannon. However with every shot, the game board rotates, so pick your shots with care.
Powerups -- Collect powerups by freeing them from the game board. Powerups give your cannon different abilities, like firing super-accurate shots or firing shots that changes the color of Borbs. Use them wisely, and you can clear a lot of Borbs in one shot!
To shoot, first rotate the cannon with your mouse to aim. Then, left click to fire.
Take your time. There is no shot clock.
When you use up the Borbs in your TUBE, the Borbs get closer to the yellow DANGER ZONE.
Knock out all Borbs before any reach the DANGER ZONE to advance to the next level.
When a Borb hits the DANGER ZONE you lose.
If you lose a level, you may repeat the level until you win. However according to Domenic's comment, which you may read by scrolling down the page, after you win Bubble Town level 15 things change. He says once you win level 15, that each time you lose a level after that you must begin again back on level 15.
After some levels you may occasionally see a screen that says 'Bubble Town Deluxe.' The purpose of this screen is to entice you to download the deluxe version of the game. If you do not want to do any downloads, and want to continue to play the game here on Richard's Game Reviews, simply click the button where it says 'Just Let Me Play!' and immediately continue on to your next level.
As far as I can tell. there is no way to save your Bubble Town game progress. So unless you are willing to leave your computer on, and come back later, you will need to begin a new game back at level 1.

Bubble Town Game Options:

The game sounds can be turned on or off by clicking the 'Mute' button from the Menu. (To access the Menu, press your spacebar. Click 'Resume' to continue your game.)

Bubble Town Playing Tips:

Look at the next Borb in your TUBE. Knowing what the next Borb will be, can help you plan your current shot.
If you can make a match higher up, many times the Borbs below will also be knocked out. Learning this technique will allow you to knock out large numbers of Borbs with a single shot!
For the 'Straight Up Play' game learn the bank shot, where you bounce the Borb off of the left or right wall. Sometimes, the only way to get a Borb to its intended target is to use the bank shot. Besides that, bank shots also earn you extra points. This takes just a little practice. Of course, the more you practice the better you will get.
Learn to recognize the different powerups and what they can do.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: The most outstanding features of Bubble Town are the imaginative and unique sights and sounds. The game play is enhanced by the always interesting powerups. Just one shot, and you'll be hooked on this arcade-puzzler!

Please Note: Occasionally after the advertisement plays, you may see only a large dark rectangle. It may appear that the game has not loaded, when in fact it has. If this should occur, simply move your mouse pointer over the game area and the game will instantly appear.
