SPIDER SOLITAIRE DOWNLOADS |
9/5/07 Steve came through again! This time he sent me 2 terrific novelty games.
His talented brain and fingers hacked into spider.sav and came up with
one that looks like a butterfly and one that plays with all the cards
face up. Check them out, here: |
More coming all
the time. Please check back often. From now on, I'll add the posting
date in red, so you can see the new games since your last visit.
Rating system: 1 = easiest. 5 = Super Challenge
To download, right
click on any file name link, then choose "save target as"
to your "My Documents" folder. In order to play, you must
delete spider.sav and rename the downloaded game as spider.sav (or use the utilities at the bottom of this page).

Notes |
spiderML1.sav |
|
Saved
at the beginning of the last round and still takes over 100 moves to win.
This one has so many options, you can play it over and over--it's a different
game every time. |
spiderD3.sav |
|
Too
many choices! This one could make you crazy. If you can get a hole
in the first round you can win it. |

spider8.sav |
|
The
first round is a day at the beach. Then you have to go back to work. If
you get lucky, you can make it the first time. If not, you know how to use
the restart button. <grin> (I saved this one at the end of round one
for comparison.) |
spider13.sav |
|
Saved
with 4 holes in the last round. The board is so messed up it still plays
like untangling yarn. Really fun! If you start over--Good Luck! |

spiderD8.sav |
|
The
beginning rounds make it look easy. Then it gets tough, but you just know
you can beat it. <grin> |
spider071807.sav |
|
Steve
sent this one in. I had to start over 4 or 5 times to get it. Pretty kewl!
Thanks for sharing, Steve. |

spider234.sav |
|
In all my years of playing, I've never seen a layout like this one. I had to play it. I also had to start over several times to win it. (Screen shot below) |
|

spiderKto4.sav |
|
2 rare layouts in 2 days. This one goes straight down from king to 4. Again, I couldn't resist, but had to start over several times to win it. (Screen shot below) |
|
spider1.sav |
|
The toughest game I've ever won. It's saved
part way through the final round and still takes over 100 moves to win. |
9/19/2007 spiderUgly.sav
|
|
Normally
I don't play ugly games. If I get duplicates, too many aces or kings, or
not enough plays or natural pairs, I just re-deal. This game, however,
is absolutely the butt-ugliest layout I've ever seen (see screenshot below).
I couldn't resist it. I had to start over several times, then save it in
stages, but I finally beat it. It's saved at the beginning of the last round
so you can play it as I did or start over and take your chances. |
|
The
following 2 "novelty" games were contributed by Steve. These are
"hacked" games, which means he monkeyed around with the code to
get them set up, but they still play like any other spider solitaire game. |
9/5/07
all-up.sav |
|
If
you dealt the cards face-up, this is what you'd get. It's not as easy as
it looks. (Open the saved game to see the layout.) |
9/5/07
butterfly.sav |
|
Open
the saved game to see a layout shaped like a butterfly. I had to start over
several times to beat this puppy. |
The
following 2 utilities were contributed by Steve. These are small batch files
are great if you play and save a lot of games. Many computer security systems
block batch files, so in order to use these, you must rename them to remove
the underscore characters in the file extensions (.b_a_t should be .bat)
It's best to create a new folder for your saved games and put these programs
in that folder. |
|
GrabGame |
To use this file after downloading and renaming, double-click
on the GrabGame batch file, and it will copy the current MyDocuments/spider.sav
into this folder with the batch files. Don't forget to rename it, then,
or the next time you run this program it will write over the top of it. |
useGame.b_a_t |
UseGame |
To use this file after downloading and renaming, drag-n-drop
a saved game onto the useGame batch file, and it will copy it to MyDocuments,
and rename it "spider.sav" |
