Since then the game has been ported to numerous platforms.

FreeCell remained relatively obscure until it was released as part of Windows 95. It was first included with Win32s as an application that enabled the testing of the 32-bit thunking layer (does anyone remember what that was?). One of the Microsoft developers noticed this version and implemented a version for Windows. The first computer version of the game is believed to have been created in 1978 for the PLATO system.
