Microsoft Classic games for PC now in Windows Phone

If you ever thought Microsoft was at one point going to retire its classic games included in Windows PCs for over two decades, think again, today the software giant released the popular Solitaire, Mahjong, and a new Minesweeper games for Windows Phone.

Each game has been redesigned for touch-enabled devices and have been updated with new graphics and sounds. Also they connect with Xbox Live, so you can compete with friends, earn achievements, make use of the leaderboard, and keep an eye on your stats. Perhaps the best feature is that you can play, pause, and resume your games across all Windows devices including your Windows Phone, tablet, and PC.
