   Thought you would like it! When I exited the game, I was just sitting back watching the credits role and the beautiful graphics I will probably never get to see...I noticed that the names seem to be Russian, so maybe that's the hangup...I know from working with gala from Realore, it seems those guys don't work on the weekends, lol!

   GrochE, thanks, I have tried both...they fully download but will not run...I have to do a reboot, can't kill it with Task Manager...I had a similar problem back in 2007 with RA...I couldn't download from their site period...there where no download buttons...it was stuck on tps=upgrade_...never fully linked to the site...so I gave up and watched the versions change, lol...then one day in 2008...poof, the site worked for me again...must have been the versions changing...I have a V2 R2 test that I run from them that tells me what the current version is, also the installer version...they have changed so much, I stopped writing them down...they should get REAL...roflmao...on their forums you will see my signature as "is it REAL or is it MEMOREX"...not on the forums much anymore as I quit Gamepass in Aug,2006...still do the Evals though...

   I got the Nancy drew game to run (and well ) on my computer...(hooray!)
   I am loving it but am stuck.
   I can't seem to get past sweeping off the ice...I have been fired many times after falling into the freezing cold water(which seems a mean thing to have happen...lol)
   Grouche; I am running firefox and gamehouse installs without a problem.
   Suki I am sorry that it won't work for you!
   Amycakes, you are playing it; did you get past the ice sweeping yet?

   Just over a day later and I finally got my unlock code for Obulis. I also got an apology from someone called Bob (doesn't sound Russian lol) who said that it doesn't usually happen. I was told by someone else waeler today, (after writing to them), that they like to ensure that orders aren't fraudulent, then I got an Email from yet another person (all with Anglo Saxon sounding names) saying that if I'd not heard from them within a reasonable span of time that I shuld Email them back.

   anyway, the wait was worth it. for anyone who likes puzzle games this is a definite must have, if you love games that demonstrate accurate physics, then you must get this and if you love games with beautiful graphics again, you must get this.

   I agree with you Suki, once you pass the easy levels, the game starts to get progressively harder to complete. The review you linked to does mention that casual gamers will probably find this game too hard and would never see the end levels. I don't think they are impossible, but you will need some skill and precise timing to win some levels. Here's some videos of game play:

   There's lots of them covering most of the levels:

   I would buy it if it was released to BF, I would only have to pay 6.99..., but sometimes I wonder if they know what a good game is, lmao! So I will not be holding my breath! If I was very...very good at this type of game I would spend the 20.00, because from what I was able to play...it was Damn good!

   I got myself into another project, that I need like a whole in my head(right next to the other one that's there, roflmao!)...I am helping Joel at Gamezebo with his website now, like I have time....

   Just did a simple beta(the ones with the surveys you play for an hour)from PlayFirst called "Diaper Dash", my response was less than flattering...my suggestion to them was...When are you coming out with "Toilet Dash"...

   When will they realize that most casual gamers are in their 40's or 50's...on the Gamezebo Forum, one is 73...hope I live that long to complete all the games I have bought!

   Glad you got the code!

   Suki, I know what you mean about whether you'll be able to get through all the games you buy. I very much doubt I'll finish a lot of them actually.

   When I first started to buy lots of games every day (which I did for a couple of months about six or seven months after my accident because they helped so much, a lot of them were actually not very good. So I've got a few hundred games that I will definitely never play again, then there a couple more hundred that I’m not sure about etc etc - you catch my drift. The only games that I've consistently bought that are playable all the time are my DVD based ones. Because most of them cost more than an arcade game I put more thought into whether I really wanted them.

   I've had some dialogue with Big Fish Games regarding putting up more interesting games apart from the ubiquitous hidden objects, match three, and time management games. I've suggested they get in touch with the developers of Obulis, line rider 2, and the guys who have done the Crazy Machines games (they have the first, but not the better 1.5 and 2 versions). I just hope they do something about it. I was really surprised when games like Hyperballoid 2 and Action Ball 2 bombed out last year; especially Hyperballoid 2 with it's levels editor; and you never see games like Reaxxion mentioned in top 20 lists of games. Only Ricochet Infinity seems to have made an impact over the last few years (its good, but not necessarily the bet arkanoid around {I love Acky’s XP Breakout, a vastly underrated breakout, which despite being several years old won an award for ‘best of’ recently}

   Arkanoids have become almost extinct as a new release recently, though there are the odd ones such as Strike Ball 3, which is okay; (better than Strike Ball 2 Deluxe, but not earth shatteringly good. They could have created more power-ups and improved the graphics more (though things like the brick physics have been improved and there’s a variety of air vehicles now). Pity they’ve dropped the battery power-up though. I got bored playing it after about level 30.

   That's some project Suki. I think Gamezebo is an excellent site. Perhaps you could put in a good word for me?

   Anyway, I should have been in bed hours ago and I've still to get the kids lunch boxes ready, lol.

   Good night.

   Regards

   Stephen
