Description
Freecell on the PLATO mainframes is the first implementation of the solitaire card games later made famous by being included with various editions of Microsoft Windows. The goal is to move cards around according to specific rules including the use of "free cells" in which cards can be placed temporarily, until all cards on the board are sorted in stack ordered by suit and number. The game would keep a high score list on the network allowing for players to compete.
For other researchers, it is necessary to point out that DATA EAST CORPORATION did not develop it, but rather published it, but in the mid-80s, in that sense, Mobygames was wrong.
