Windows Media Center Tip: Hidden Games in Media Center

There are two games that you can install and play on Media Center – they are hidden so here’s how you get at them:

You should find you have Otto's Magic Blocks and Gem Master on your system as well. Whilst these are not fully installed by default you can quickly and easily add them.

I'm not sure how to describe Otto's Magic Blocks but Gem Master is a more complicated version of Tetris.

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\Ehome and you should find "otto.mcl" and "gem master.mcl". Double click either one to launch - it should then launch in MCE and you will be able to download the rest of the installation, install it and play it from "More Programs..."

I haven’t tried this yet but let me know if it works for you…
