Spades was originally written on an Intel 8088 for DOS and was first upgraded to Windows capability in July of 1995. It premiered in America On Line's Software Center in August of the same year and was upgraded several times to accomodate downloader's requests.In its first six months Spades has been downloaded by over 10,000 people, has been uploaded (and downloaded) on several ftp sites, and was on Pacific Hi-Tech's Best of the Internet CD-ROM in March of 1996.

SPADES: The Card Game by Greg Debacker

VISIT Windswept Software's home page to get a copy of Spades: The Card Game. In this version there are four players around the table - You and three computer opponents. Traditionally Spades is played in Partners which means that the four players are paired up into two teams. You partner is the player directly accross from you while the two players on your left and right are a partnership. You and your partner work together, helping each other, while you try to beat the other team. However, if you want to go it alone you can turn this feature off and test your skills against the three computer opponents while they do their best to humiliate you.

There are 13 sets of opponents supplied (The Marx Brother's, Dead Rock Sars, The Three Stooges, ect), or you can add in your own opponents to play. If you don't know how to play Spades the online help has enough information to get you up and playing. If that is not enough there are Suggest buttons you can click to have the computer help you along. If you're still lost put the game on Auto Play and sit back and watch the action.

CHAMPIONSHIP SPADES by Christopher Williamson-

CHAMPIONSHIP SPADES by Christopher Williamson-

Designed for serious players, Championship Spades is an exciting card 
game that features good layout, fast game play, rich sounds, extensive
options, and good help with tutorials.   The polished interface is
highlighted by multiple customizable computer personalities for very
challenging play.  More interesting than Hearts, but not quite as
complex to learn as Bridge, Spades is the game for card fanatics!

SPADES by Jason Hale-

(Morgan's Review)  Author Jason Hale has created a Spades game with the
most realistic audio I have yet to hear.  The players actually call out
their bid in male and female voices prior to each hand.  You can find
Spades by Jason Hale by searching under S at Pacific Hi-Tech's
fabulous web site.  (Coincidentally you can find my game there next to 
Jason's.)  You can also vote for your favorite games and boost author's
self esteem!

Internet Gaming Zone!

I'd heard of NetSpades but had yet to be able to try it out. While
searching for more Spades games I came across the  Internet Gaming Zone.
This place is unbelievable!  You can play sevaral games (Hearts,
Chess,Bridge,Reversi,Go, and of course Spades) live on the net
with others. The best part is that it's FREE!!! (For now.) You will need to
download the software to play  but it's easy to set up and get started playing.

All I can say is: 4 Stars and a ray of sunshine!

MORGAN'S Reviews of More Spades Games-

Spades by Spaceways -Written by Laurie and Martin Noel this game allows
for several options and game variations for the user to choose from. 
One problem however is that the mouse pointer is very small in this game.
Spaceway's Spades has been available on America On Line for a long time. 
You can find it in the Software Center.

Spades by DartConsulting- Written by Deanna Bradbury and Arthur Richards
this game has a nice animated card feature which actually shows the card
sliding across the table.  Dart Consulting's Spades is available in 
America On Line's Software Center.
