==support for negative games
Most people aren't aware of an undocumented support for:
:::* game -1 and
:::* game -2
Windows 7 (and up) have undocumented support for two additional games:
:::* game -3 and
:::* game -4
You can't possibly win games -1 and -2.
You can't possibly lose games -3 and -4.
It is entertaining to watch the -3 and -4 games play out.
