  500 (card game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
500 is largely a social game and has not attracted the deep tactical analysis of bridge.
There are many variants to 500, but the "standard" deck has 45 playing cards, the 2's, and 3's, being removed, and a Joker being added (in Australia, the Joker can be called 'the bird', as in Australian 500 decks this card may feature a Kookaburra rather than a jester).
This is important later in the game, and is usually known by newcomers as the hardest part to learn about the game.

 500 (outdoor game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
500 is a competitive, outdoor game for 3+ people that is typically played with a baseball, football, or flying disc.
The game begins with the thrower calling out a number (typically a multiple of 100 between 100 and 500), and then throwing the baseball/football/flying disc, or hitting the baseball with a baseball bat, in the general direction of the group.
Though 500 is meant to be played competitively, it is first and foremost a game played "for the fun of it".

 Rules of Card Games: 500 Rum
500 Rum is a variation of rummy in which points are scored for cards melded, and lost for unmelded cards remaining in a player's hand when someone goes out.
The game is won by the first player to reach a cumulative score of 500 or more over a series of hands.
When ending the game, the player is allowed leave the discard pile in a state where some of the cards in it could be melded, and the other players can no longer claim these cards, because play stops as soon as a player has got rid of all the cards in their hand.

 Rules of Card Games: Five Hundred
In Australia, 500 is normally played by four people, two playing against two in fixed partnerships; a similar version of the game is played in New Zealand.
The game is won by a player whose score reaches 500 or more as a result of winning a contract, or lost by a player whose score reaches minus 500 or worse.
In the three or five player game if two opponents of the contractor reach 500 in the same deal but the contractor does not, the first opponent who reached 500 wins (considering the opponents' tricks to be scored as they are taken).

 A better way to play the card game of 500, by Bryce Francis. Two, Three, Five and Six handed 500   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
You can play with a normal pack of cards as for four handed 500 dealing as usual with the player making the highest bid having the spare hand turned face up opposite him or her and being played by the person with the last bid in it's proper turn to play.
This game is strictly for laughs, and I confess that I have played it so rarely that I have never tried to play it According to Francis.
This game needs the special pack of 63 cards produced for this purpose, though you could use a normal pack, and include the 2's, 3's and fl fours from the original pack, and add four 2's, four 3's and the two red 4's from another pack, even if the back of the cards is different.

 RPGnet: Review of Cthulhu 500
The general look and feel of the game is thematically both motoristic and cthulhoid (though all the backward "e"s, which appear as part of an archaic/cthulhoid font seem unnecessary and annoying).
The cards start off with 16 car cards, two for each vehicle in the game: a "pack marker", which is used to show how a car is doing, and a "schematic" which the driver keeps in front of him and includes a couple of extra statistics.
Cthulhu 500 is one in a long line of board games about H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, all based on the success of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu RPG (1981).

 500 Card Game,Canasta Card Game, Bridge Card Game, Whist Card Game, Euchre Card Game, Rummy Card Game, Shareware ...
These games are played in far more locations world wide than 500, and their fans are more fanatical.
The game has the advantage that it is enjoyable when played with two to six players, although it is classically played with four.
The game shares the same objectives as all Rummy games - to meld your cards in to groups of three or more cards of the same rank, but in Canasta sequences are not allowed.

 Pirates a game under .500 after frustrating 7-5 loss in 13 innings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
That was how Pirates first baseman Daryle Ward described his team's 7-5, 13-inning loss to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at PNC Park, and the phrase was a fine fit for a game that brought a foul finish to an otherwise sterling homestand.
They still finished their 13-game homestand 9-4 and won all four series, but the were long after the team's longest game of the season.
That would have brought up Doumit, who is hitting.375 in five games since his promotion, but Lawton rounded too far past second on the Bay hit and was tagged out when the throw came in from center field.

 domino game rules
At the beginning of a game, the hands are dealt by randomly shuffling all tiles and distributing seven (7) tiles (also called bones or dominoes) to each player.
Once the winning piece is placed on the chain, the game is over and the players expose their remaining pieces to be counted in the scoring.
In this case, the end of the game is determined when the boneyard is empty and all players pass consecutively (i.e., none of the players may make a legal play).

Of these, 1 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 2 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.

 Majesco learns a hard lesson about the video game industry - Jan. 24, 2006
Net revenue in 4Q 2005 (traditionally the biggest quarter of the year for game publishers) was just $4.6 million, compared to $45.3 million the previous year.
"As a result of the general weakness in the [video game] sector along with the rising costs of development and marketing next-generation games, we have concluded that Majesco's current resources do not allow us to effectively compete in the big budget console game marketplace," said Jesse Sutton, president of Majesco Entertainment, in a conference call.
And, inexplicably, Majesco has decided to move forward with the release of a game based on "Jaws" itself - perhaps as a last hurrah, perhaps because it couldn't find a buyer and the game was essentially complete.
