The Competition - Other Spades Games

• Spades Now! - Donationware noble author has shared ideas with us.
• NetSpades - Excellent network-playable game with a 'blah' interface and robot players.

• Internet Gaming Zone - Microsoft offers best online Spades right now. They require 95 and the use of Internet Explorer, however. Their robot players are also stupid.
