See introduction to gin rummy game

In online gin rummy you observe what the opponent is discarding and which of your discarded cards he is drawing.In arranging your melds after knocking, prefer to attach a card to a set of 4 rather than a sequence if it could equally well go with either. All discarded cards have to be also memorized.This way, you prevent your online opponent from laying off his/her deadwood against it, attaching to your meld. Based on the above and own hand cards, an inference is made as to the structure of opponent’s hand on the assumption that opponent is trying to make melds as best as he/she can. Before reaching half-deck, you can retain the high-value potential unmelded combinations (such as Ten plus Queen of Hearts waiting/hoping for in-the-middle Jack of Hearts). It is unadvisable to go all out for gin hand online.However, after reaching half-deck with unfulfilled hopes, it is advisable to discard these cards. The bonus of 25 is not sufficient to compensate for the times when you should have knocked.Such discarding should be started such that it would not give your online opponent higher chances to form melds and knock in the multiplayer online games Typical game ends at half-deck to 2/3 of deck, so knockers should not hesitate to do so earlier than that. If there are unmatched high-value cards in the beginning (with low probability to create melds), it’s not good to discard them before reaching half-deck because they may be of value to your online opponent. It is generally better to draw a deck card than an upcard because less of your hand will be known to your online opponent.For example, discarding a Queen (10 points) if opponent takes it will potentially organize your online opponent’s meld of 3 Queens – 30 points with 20 points difference. Also, if you take upcard -–you are taking cards of no use to your online opponent, but drawing from deck you may be preventing him/her going for a gin hand.So such high unmatched cards should be retained before half-deck as ‘stoppers’ – to stop opponent. It is good to retain high-ranking pairs and 2-card sequences acquired early in the online free games in the hope that opponent will discard a matching 3-d.There may be a danger in such discarding, however, for example if opponent discarded the Queen of Spades, and we assume that we can safely discard our lonely Queen of Hearts because he cannot get 3 or more Queens, he may be able to take our Queen of Hearts to use in a meld with King of Hearts & Jack of Hearts – same 30 points gain. Thus, 3 high-ranking pieces can be potentially eliminated.Early in the game it is advisable to discard a card ranking one or two away (better one away) and in a different suit to the one previously discarded by opponent. Conversely, it is a good idea to delay discarding high-ranking non-paired unmatched deadwood until later in the online game to prevent the opponent from creating high-ranking melds.Example: opponent discards 9 of Clubs. It is best to discard one of {10 of Diamonds, 8 or 10 of Hearts, 8 or 10 of Spades, etc.}. If no such card is held, next best bet is to discard a card of rank equal to one discarded by opponent.Seven is usually the most valuable card in the deck as far as its ability to form melds – it can extend melds better than any other card. Therefore, one should be careful discarding it too early in the online game since it can help the opponent.

Here's where it all started, way back in 1996

The Vectrex game console was originally released in 1982, and there were only about two dozen official game releases before the great video game crash ended its production run. Some parents worry that videogames might cause their children to become violent and antisocial, but what if the opposite were true.  In 1996 I wrote the first NEW game for the system since 1984. What if games could make kids exceedingly likable and fashionable.  Since then I have written nearly a dozen and a half games and there have been many more titles written by other authors titles which you can also find here !

 

You can find multiplayer games cartridges here for original Vectrex systems as well as binary images for many of the games so you can play them on the freely available emulators on your home computer !

 

In addition to the Vectrex, I've also written a few games for the Colecovision as well as the Odyssey 2 game system.

 

A wave of new Online Games for tween girls seeks to do just that, serving up innocuous gameplay designed to let players become perfect little princesses.  The Vectrex has always been my favorite though, and I'm proud to be part of a community that has produced more games for the system than its original commercial run !

 

Check out the games, there are lots of updates and over the next few months I am going to be adding more enhancements to the site including videos for all the games.Aimed at that lucrative, Hannah Montana-fueled intersection of childhood and adolescence, these games might give 8- to 12-year-olds their first experiences with fashion, make-up, popularity … even boys. 

 

Visit the about me page and learn a little about me including my arcade hobbies and some things that I do for a living.

The weird thing is that you can view these “wholesome” games as being just as bad for girls as Grand Theft Auto’s random bloodshed and rampant criminality is for young, impressionable boys.  .And while GTA’s influence on boys has been dissected to death, what about the Nintendo DS’ upcoming avalanche of games for tween girls.  What kinds of values do preteens learn from these titles.  Valuable life lessons, or bad habits.
