I am still having the bouts of depression and the migraines(I see a neurologist in Nov.) and we just found out that the hubby has to have an operation on his shoulder for bone spurs. It took him 4 months to actually see the doctor and now he has to go for tests. With Ontario wait times we are guessing maybe Jan. or Feb. at the earliest. He does NOT even have the appt. for the tests yet. WYSIWYG when it comes to free health care.</p> <p>Anyways, I have been getting this RSS feed from <a href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a> They have some interesting feeds; they even have a game section, some are demos but a lot of them are free <a href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/games">Softonic Games</a> They have a link just for all the free games.</p> <p>This week I got something interesting for Flash Games from them. I don't play a lot of flash games because we have a bandwidth cap plus I am not into the advertising or chat that some sites offer. Plus this is nice if your internet is down you can still play your favorite flash games without being connected to the internet. This piece of software takes your swf files and converts it so it can play solo on your PC. You, basically, download the file, convert it with the program and then install it in the program. Once you install the program, it has a readme that explains where to find the file for IE and FF(See why I wanted to know where my cache was..Mango Princess..NOW I know). It has to be a swf file and you just have to look for that because they don't name the files with game name most the time. </p> <p>The Software:<br /> <a href="http://flashoffliner.en.softonic.com/" rel="nofollow">http://flashoffliner.en.softonic.com/</a> </p> <p>Their website:<br /> <a href="http://www.mystercrowley.com/sw_fo_en.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.mystercrowley.com/sw_fo_en.php</a></p> <p>And then, once I found that..I found this...http://dosbox.en.softonic.com/ for some of you older gamers that might still have some old DOS games/programs laying around.</p> <p>"<em>DOSBox allows those of you still nostalgic of that not-so-long-ago time to emulate games and applications that ran under DOS. Obviously you will still need to remember all the basic DOS commands, to mount and launch applications or simply search through directories.</p> <p>The DOSBox website provides a big list of all the games that can be played under DOS but does not include download links. You'll have to search the web to find them.</p> <p>The advantage DOSBox has over other emulators is that it doesn't limit itself to games. Remember a great application you used to run on DOS, years back? If you find it, there's a good chance it will work in DOSBox.</p> <p>DOSBox can emulate any game or application that used to run under MS-DOS. You'll need to be comfortable with DOS commands to use DOSBox though.</em></p> <p>It has been over 12 years since I have used any DOS so I am quite rusty but I thought I would post it for any one that might could use it.</p> <p>I have gotten several things from Softonic and I always scan for stuff and have found nothing bad in the files. But as a precaution, I would always scan...It is just force of habit with me and I have found, it is a good habit to develop.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>PS. WR, don't stop now..See what you got me doing now. LOL. I am in the same boat as the Princess/Clownie. I never knew anything about games until this site and your reviews. I have learned so much from you. I may not like every game you post..but I know there are games I will like or try when you get around to them. "Another one's trash is another one's treasure."
