Oh, i've done that many times on my Asus A620 (PDA). My best time was 119 seconds (under 2 minutes yay!), and AFAIK the game is exactly the same as on PC, except for that you drag cards with stylus, not mouse.

Of course I can't prove that, but... believe me.

Edit: Just made a video of 116 seconds! The right mouse button is essential for a good time (although it looks VERY strange on the video, especially at the very end, when ~30 cards disappear suddenly and I win...) I'll upload it now

Edit 2: here it is... ~ 2mb file http://rapidshare.de/files/3882699/solitare-knu-116.avi.html

Here's the quote from the help file to understand the right button trick Wink

Quote:

To move all playable cards to their respective suit stacks, right-click the game board or press CTRL+A

I definitely think that a sub-minute run is possible ^_^

I've gotten 58 seconds (game timer) and 12740 points on Draw Three, but, of course, I only have a screenshot of it :P. A time like that requires a good amount of luck with the cards but you should make under 100 seconds with little practice. I used to play the game a lot when I was at school :p. I remember seeing a vid around 50 seconds somewhere, maybe it was arc's site or something I dunno Smiley

it was 48 seconds...

Well, while we are on the subject of Window's games, anyone think about doing a roden'ts revenge or chip's challenge run? No, I thought not.

Someone should do a Soul Calibur II run. I've heard from my friends that the game is awesome.

I just tried for less than 10 minutes and got 57 secs...I'm sure that you can luck out and get way below that.

The way to do it is just constantly *click*-CTRL-A, every single time a new card comes up, ctrl-a.

Now...freecell is the speedrun i wanna see =D

Hello, my name is Tub, and I am a FreeCell addict.

that's the way it usually looks before I have to reinstall windows again. Wink

speedrunning is boring though, if you can choose the game number..

Some years ago, I was really good at Minesweeper... like, Expert in under a minute good. But then I stopped playing so much, and now it takes me twice as long to clear Expert. I don't really care; I've played enough Minesweeper to satisfy me, and I'm still faster than most people.

Rofl, nice run of MineSweeper. Someone should do the 4 move trick against the computer and do a Chess speed run Tongue

The computer wouldn't catch on? If I made a chess game I would specifically program it to not let that beat it.

You're a chess computer then? Grin

Start playing Go, that's less embarrassing for humans.

It would only work on the "total newb" setting, if that.

Whoah whoah whaoh whaoh.... hang on.

Since when did the words "Chess" and "newb" belong in a sentence that wasn't a question?

In fact... since when was somebody called a chess newb?

You'll notice that he does not, in fact, use the words "Chess" and "newb" in the same sentence, only in the same context.

My whole life chess computers were a step ahead of me.
I was too young to beat Battle Chess and after that the stupid things got better every week. At least it seemed to me that way.

No good sir, leave computer chess out if you want to have fun with the game.
