Since there are no free games on weekdays now, I thought I would provide a link to a free game. Here is the description from the web site:
"TROPICAL LINES.....
We improved classical lines game with bonus balls which bring more challenge, variety and fun. The game gives you an ability to share your score with other players by publishing your high score results in the online high scores table. It is absolutely free."
The game does not mention VISTA, but it works just fine on my Vista Home Basic.
I have played this type of game in the past, and always seem to be able to lose pretty quickly. This version includes some helpful items, such as a "Bomb Ball" that explodes 8 balls around it, a snowflake that freezes new ball growth, a "Rainbow Ball" that can be used as any color, and a special power-up that eliminates all balls of a single color. This makes the game more enjoyable, and just when you think you are going to get jammed up and lose, opportunities to clear some of the playfield present themselves. This is a decent puzzle game, and is well worth the price.....FREE. -Dan
