@Pixiey, I used their "technical support" form and had my code within about 15 minutes (if not less). It may be because today is Saturday.
@ScarletPetal, thanks for the info. I remember starting Magic Tea but not continuing to help out someone with a question on it. I don't care for the "marble" (Zuma) kind of games.

They ended up sending me a code too. I have a question though...is it true that you pay a dollar a day for playing anything you want, but then you don't get to keep what you buy now? Is there any way to buy their games through them or do I have to buy them through places like Big Fish? Not that I mind, I just like the Alawar games, I seem to be liking the time management games, and I never thought that..
Just wasting time waiting for Dec. 20th to get here!! LOL Star Wars: The Old Republic will be launching....cannot wait!!

Pixey - that $1/day (or some amount a month or $99/year) is to PLAY their games. You do not have the license to it and if you haven't paid, you can't play. That can result in your favorites costing far more than their normal price for them.
I'd rather get the FULL version (however legitimately - paid or free) and have it downloaded and installed for me to play whenever I get the urge to play that particular game - day or night - internet active or not - just WHENEVER!

Dragonlair, I totally agree with you there! At first I thought it was a buck a month..lol me wishful thinking! I do not know how they will be able to keep with this though. Its a lot of money. I want to be able to play and reinstall if I get a new computer or something. I worry about digital rights. So many companies are consolidating, or closing....then you are sort of left with spent money and not much to show for it. Unless you have a ton of back ups and files. Some have keys or codes, I have started to save mine in a file like WhiteRabbit suggested a bit ago.
I am really enjoying MyPlayCity. Are there any others besides Realore and Sandlot? I am really sad to hear about Sandlot. I tried a couple of the trials for the digital chocolate, but they are not my type and one of the demos were for 10 minutes!! I was amazed at that! Their games are not that good, unless I am missing something. I love steam too. I hope they put some more stuff on sale soon!
I don't get the games in any other way from the sites you all suggest, I trust you guys!

Pixiey,
I forgot to mention; even though you don't see a "buy" button on Alawar, you can still purchase them normally. You just download and install the game, make sure it works on your system (in trial mode) and THEN you purchase it from the downloaded wrapper. It's easy to do. If you have the unlock code from elsewhere (as we had to do with Magic Tale this weekend) just enter it from the "Enter Registry Key" link when you say you want to remove the time restriction. If you have it in the clipboard (having copied it just before you do this), it'll paste it FOR you!

This is great. I can't even figure out how much the games are each. Is the only way to find the prices is by playing the trial? Maybe I missed it somewhere...feel a bit blind!
Thanks for the info about this though! I loved when it pasted it for me, that was a first!
I think they're games are normally $6.99 each. You're right. I can't find the price either. I guess the trial would tell you or, you can send them an email and ask them that question.
