Klotski is an ancient Polish game that provides mathematical problems in the form of a small wooden game board with various sized blocks. The object of the computer game is to free the "master block," in as few moves as possible. The computer scores you on the number of moves it takes to solve a puzzle. 24 puzzles are included, as well as a puzzle editor.
Stones is a game developed by Michael C. Miller and released in 1991 as part of Microsoft's Windows Entertainment Pack. The object is to place 90 tiles, or "stones", on a board. A tile can only be placed if it shares two of three attributes - background color, character color, or character shape - with every adjacent tile. Wild tiles may be placed anywhere regardless of attributes. The game is won when all tiles are placed or when there are no valid spaces to place the next tile.
TriPeaks is a patience or solitaire card game that is akin to the solitaire games Golf and Black Hole. The game uses one deck and the object is to clear three peaks made up of cards. It was created by Robert Hogue and popularized as a result of being included in Microsoft Solitaire Collection 3.
Tut's Tomb is a variation on "Pyramid", a patience or solitaire game of the Simple Addition family, where the object is to get all the cards from the pyramid to the foundation.
The object of the game is to remove pairs of cards that add up to a total of 13, the equivalent of the highest valued card in the deck, from a pyramid arrangement of 28 cards. When using the standard 52-card deck, Jacks are valued at 11, Queens at 12, and Kings at 13.

WordZap is a puzzle video game designed by Michael Crick included with Volume 3 of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack. In WordZap, players race to make proper English words to fill their rack of words, but when one player makes a word already found by the other player, the word is "zapped" from both players' racks. Each round ends when either one player fills the word rack, or time runs out without either player being able to make another word.
Warheads for Windows is a clone of Atari's popular 1980 arcade game, Missile Command. Originally it was pretty much a straight rip-off of the classic "intercept the falling missles" game, where you had two missile launchers (instead of three) that you could use to shoot down incoming missiles (the left and right mouse buttons fire from the left and right missile launchers, respectively) to prevent them from destroying six cities below. The missile launchers have a finite number of missiles and can be destroyed by missiles. You earn points for shooting down missiles, nukes and airplanes, and for each city that survives each round, which can earn bonus cities which replace destroyed cities.
When you have no cities left, the game is over. Version 2.0 added sound card support; a large number of configurable options; a display of how many missiles each launcher has remaining; branching missiles (MIRVs), and "blossoming" explosions, in which the destroyed missiles blow up and can destroy the other missiles, causing a ch

Very much a snake game, Rattler Race adds a few twists to the long-held conventions of the genre (those being: you guide a snake from a top-down perspective, always in forward motion; it eats its targets and grows in length, but dies should it collide with any obstacles): in addition to a competing snake foiling your routes, a ball bounces around the play-field, Pong-style, killing your snake should the ball ricochet against its head.
The other standout qualities are largely cosmetic: periodically enemy movement "freezes", giving the player a period of free motion; the opposing snake will also "eat" your targets (here "apples" -- occasionally bonus "golden apples") and grow longer, though it doesn't seek them out; gameplay can be conducted with as many as three opposing snakes and three bouncing balls complicating the playfield at once; you head for the exit once all apples are eaten, but the enemy snake(s) can exit instead, restarting the level. Triumph against all these odds and you get 29 more levels of similar

TetraVex is a puzzle computer game, available for Windows and Linux systems.
TetraVex was originally available for 16-bit Windows in Windows Entertainment Pack 3. It was later re-released as part of the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack.
TetraVex is also available as an open source game on the GNOME desktop as part of the GNOME Games collection under GNU GPL.
