Internet Playground Quarterly Review 012000


© Michelle White

Happy Y2K! I hope you survived the hype and are ready to celebrate the last twelve months before the next millennium. (Don't worry, all the marketing hypesters will publicly acknowledge their mistake so we all can pay TOO MUCH MONEY for things to celebrate the end of the year - again.)

Well I decided to start off this year with the first quarterly "review and revisit" of my favorite sites. I'll run through the list with info about what's new and fun at each of these time-wasting sites. Ready? Here we go...

Cybersurfari - The current internet treasure hunt runs through March 15 so you still have time to collect your clues.

Games on Excite.com - I am a big fan of casino games and boy was I happy to see that Excite has added Keno and Video Poker. (Roulette is coming soon.) The only bad thing is that half a gajillion other people like to play these games too so sometimes it's hard to get in.

Gamesville.com - Well it looks like one of my favorite sites has been bought out by Lycos.com. The nice thing is that so far, nothing major has changed. They have added a couple of new games since I wrote about it last - "Three-Eyed Bingo" (must match the correct pattern on three bingo cards to win) and "Cash Cow" (similar to Treeloot.com in that you have to pick the right spot on each picture to advance to the next level. Find the spot on the fourth level and you win - if you find it before time expires). They also have a new special event game up now, "Predict the Golden Globe Awards". Enter by January 22, 2000 for your chance to win.

jamba - The fun game playing site out of the UK has a couple of new games you should check out. They have a new poker game, a different kind of slot machine game, history trivia and some instant win games.

Lifesavers Candystand - Follow the link to see the listing of new games and contests now available at their site. Looks like they have quite a few new fun things to try.

Prizes.com - Most of the scratch off games end in March (unless the tickets run out first). You can play each game 1 time every 5 minutes so you have a lot of chances to win at least some tokens. Also check out their "Beat the Street" game for your chance to win up to $20,000,000!
