It's amazing that this software managed to work without ads, telemetry or logging in with a Microsoft account.

- Horrible user experience. More "tips" about products are needed

- Then Clippy came along…

Gotta go for the hand. I vaguely recall sometimes it would be animated and another card would poke out of the person's sleeve.

56
- also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

  That would all be paid DLC if made today.

  You must not be that old if you remember all that

- Wasn't it a rabbit?

Haunted castle.

32
- Got to be inspired by Dark Castle (1986).
  
  2
- Yeeeaaah that's the one!

Spooky castle. It hurts most of the time.

25
Palm Trees or Robot, and its my ankle and sometimes my knee

24
- An inversion table can do wonders for joint pain. I know cause I kinda got one for free. Friend moved to Hawaii and couldn't take it with.

  Doesn't an inversion table kind of hang you from your ankles? That seems like a dangerous solution for ankle pain, at least.

Palm trees all the way. Used to play this at work when they replaced the “toasters” with pcs.

Light blue fishies or spooky castle are mine and fuck you my whole body hurts!....

16
- I'm with dumbass ^

Joke's on you.

My back hurt when I woke up then.

14
Beach - yup

13
- I was a spooky castle guy, myself. I also played Maniac Mansion so it tracks.

I like the hand holding the cards because an ace would pop out of the sleeve.

No back pain outside of the very occasional knots. Likely from good core strength and a hyperfixation of personal biomechanics

12
- I enjoyed the spiral shell, also no back pain unless I pulled a muscle, though that hasn't happened for what feels like almost a year now since I started regularly stretching.
  
  Also being a construction worker has done amazing things for my fitness.

not quite yet fingers crossed but beach all the way

11
- sounds like you're wishing your back is gonna start hurting soon
  
  2
  
  fingers crossed that it doesn't happen soon xD

Castle, no pain here

11
My back doesn't wait until I get up to hurt, that's an all night affair!

I was all about the hand for some reason.

10
- I feel this. Biggest things that helped me:
  
  Sleep on my back
  
  Use a 12-18 degree wedge pillow for my torso to lay on
  
  Pillow under the knees
  
  I tried all these things separately and it didn't help. But together, it worked!
  
  (Use another regular pillow for your head on top of the wedge)

  Thanks for the tips I'll have to get some more pillows!

Mine has always been the castle because I always liked how it was animated.

10
- I always chose the beach.
  
  3
I always chose the roses.

if you waking up with a fucked back try bridges https://www.wikihow.fitness/Perform-the-Bridge-Exercise

3 sets of 30 seconds most days fixed mine in a few weeks. you really need to activated your arse.

I felt like I'd matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.

8
No it doesn’t. I feel fi…💥

Dagnabbit!

8
Robot gang rise up!

8
Always the beach.

The castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.

7
You called it, absolutely the manor/castle. I'd forgotten these until seeing this now.

6
Castle or roses.

6
- I always felt the occupant of the castle would use the roses.

Since i started going to gym and do squats my lower back stopped hurting, thank you very much. But yup my fav was robot one and hand one. I have vouge memory that there was an animation from time to time, but that might be Mandela effect. Good times being a child and pcs being full of magic :3

6
- I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.
  
  Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.
  
  A strong back will do wonders.
  
  Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won't tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

Card design in better quality

6
I miss the Windows 95 buttons. We need to go back.

I'd jump around between both fish, castle and beach depending on what I was feeling at the time.

Also my knees hurt.

5
I like the conch. It's got great colors

4
Robo fo sho

- Hell yeah brother.

I am the robot, I cannot feel pain

3
Black or blue vine things. They seemed the "realest" to me, but don't seem to get much love.

Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.

3
- Likewise, on both counts.
  
  1
I remember vaguely my grandma playing that game.

Roses

2
It was the fishies. To be fair I was really young. But I expect my back to hurt in the morning too instead of just the afternoon any year now.

2
Jokes on you, I hated all of them.

2
My parents and grandparents would get weirdly but wholesomely excited whenever they saw the animation on the cards (like the sun on the beach smiling). They all played a lot of solitaire.

2
Ha, joke's on you. My back only hurts after sex.

2
never much cared for solitaire. went straight to doom

2
robot, castle or beach for sure.

1
Green vines/ivy? And it’s my knees

If your back hurts when you get up consider getting a water bed. I switched recently and it has been amazing for my back.
