Burke, my grandma taught me the same game...with multiple players it indeed can be downright dangerous and her name for it was Massacre or Mayhem, or something similiar.

OpenMike...My solitaire program, Solitaire til Dawn (shareware), has your clock game, I think, called Grandfather's Clock.

When I used to play solitaire with real cards I always played Klondike, but there are more interesting computer games. My favorite is 40 Thieves, a couple based on 13's (Pyramid and Thirteens-duh), and Yukon, for when I'm stuck on a long phone call.
