Can you guess what we've played more often than any other electronic game in history? The Sims? Nope. Tetris? Nyet. Mario? Try again.

According to a new Slate article, the most popular video game ever created is Solitaire.

Surprised? After all, it's been included in every copy of Windows, worldwide, providing a temporary getaway for bored office workers and procrastinating students alike.

Also consider many of us know the rules to Klondike Solitaire already, so no need to read a manual and you can play for a few minutes or few hours. No gamepad is necessary: just a simple 'ol mouse.

What's a computer game you can't live without?

Pac Man is the real champ. It was in every arcade and store for about 20 years, and  was on every console in the late 70's/early 80's.

yeah pacman was huge!

cartoons, video games, board games, clothing, toys

i think the argument here though is that solitaire has been on every computer sold since Windows 3.1 came out
