The Artworx Adieu letter has been preserved on this site for future reference and remembrance.

Artworx Adieu

As long-time customers of Artworx can surmise, it has been a while since any changes or modifications have been made to our website and especially to our Strip Poker game. Strip Poker and our bridge-playing program (Bridge 3.0 through Bridge 8) were our longest and best-selling programs ever since Artworx opened its doors for business in 1980 (has it been that long?). What a blast it has been! That's the main reason Artworx is still around. I have kept Artworx alive as a virtual company on the internet for more years than I had planned since "retiring" to Florida (from chilly upstate NY) almost 15 years ago. Artworx became more of a hobby than a business since that move and I didn't have the heart to "pull the plug." But it is now time for me to step aside and cast Artworx adrift. While I will keep the Artworx website alive, (more to keep my email address than any other reason) you will find that Strip Poker and all the opponents we have created over the years will disappear from www.artworx.com on November 1, 2016.

OKbridge, Inc. is an online bridge club dedicated to serving the worldwide community of bridge players by providing superior software and service. OKbridge began as a by-product of founder Matt Clegg’s courtship of Merja, now his wife. The couple met in 1989 when Merja, a native of Finland, came to California to study with a famous geneticist, Matt’s father. After Merja returned home, Matt took a year off from graduate school to be with her in Finland. While in Finland, Matt developed an Internet bridge program as a way of playing bridge with his friends back in the US. OKbridge was first released to the public in August 1990 and the idea caught on. The players sent Matt a steady stream of suggestions, many of which were incorporated into the program. After several years, there were thousands of people from around the world using the OKbridge software. Due to the increasing demands placed on Matt’s time, he conducted a survey of users in 1993 to determine if they would be willing to pay a subscription fee if he continued to upgrade the software and provide service. The users approved of the idea, and commercial OKbridge was launched in 1994.

GOOD-BYE MSN BRIDGE

Beyond the Zone - MSN Games Looks to the Future

Classic games have been retired; new Chess, Spades, and more on the way! It’s hard to imagine, but MSN Games is now a decade old. Ten years is a long time in the gaming world: it’s nearly half the age of the World Wide Web and over a quarter of the entire history of home videogames! But hey, who checks the clock in the middle of a party?

As we gear up for a second decade, our objective is still the same: to be your favorite place to play the world’s most popular games, fill a bit of spare time, de-stress during lunch, catch up with friends, or “accidentally” miss a staff meeting. In pursuit of this ever-tantalizing goal, we plan to make a few significant changes to MSN Games over the next few months.

First, some tearful farewells: as of June 19, 2006, we have retired our original versions of several classic card and board games: Classic Backgammon, Bridge, Classic Checkers, Chess, Cribbage, Euchre, Go, Classic Hearts, Reversi, and Spades. We are sad to see them go! These games are like old friends: they gave us our start, and helped us grow from an innovative little entertainment site to a truly stellar online gaming experience. But over the years, it’s become more and more difficult to maintain the aging hardware and software that supports them. We held out absolutely as long as we could, but it was finally time to make that decision.

It is used in more then 20 countries from Argentina to Japan and from Sweden to South-Africa. A users license of Pairs or Teams is only available from Jannersten Förlag in Sweden.
