Hi,

On this day unfortunately the Microsoft shuting down the Internet games of Windows ME and XP.

  • Internet Backgammon
  • Internet Checkers
  • Internet Spades
  • Internet Hearts
  • Internet Reversi

I loved these games with nice community. It was my childhood too.

Rest in piece 2000-2019

For the moment at least, it’s still operating. I just had a quick checkers game where I lost spectacularly.

So, I think it’s more likely to be tomorrow sometime.

They have plenty of money and they don’t care. They were always free and you didn’t need to pay for them to play
